APRIL 1ST UPDATE We Made Chokle Up!

It sounded too good to be true... and sadly it was. Chokle isn't a chocolate bar full of helium bubbles... it was just a load of hot air!

chokle - the funniest chocolate bar ever!

We hope it cheered up your Wednesday morning though... we still think it would make a great chocolate bar, and we'd certainly stock it if someone ever did invent it!

We had the idea for an April Fools Day joke because we were chatting about classic jokes from the past, and in particular the Panorama one where they did a programme about how Spaghetti grows on bushes in Switzerland and the annual harvest (you can see it here).

The story about Chokle even got picked up by the Telegraph - have a look. In fact, we won't mention the names of the papers in question, but journalists from 2 of the largest newspapers in the UK asked for us to send them samples of the bar so they could write about it!

If you don't know what we're on about, take a look at our special April 1st Chokle product page...
