Did you know?

In Easter 2005 the Belgian chocolate company, Guylian, won a place in the Guinness World Records with an egg composed of over 50,000 bars, the equivalent of 1,950 kilograms of chocolate.

The giant googie measured 8.32 metres high... over 27 feet for those who still work in imperial measurements.
