Chocolate Record Actually Plays (And Destroys Turntables)

September 21, 2012 / because turntables need to eat too, chocolate, clever, i would eat that like a big cookie and i don't even care if i get diabetes. yes -- yes i do, iffy, marketing, music, my record melted in the mail, record, sure why not, that's not vinyl, there goes my needle, wearing things out, what's the difference between chocolate and licorice? licorice tastes like shit and i can't believe anybody likes it

This is a copy of Breakbot's new album 'By Your Side', pressed in dark chocolate. It's a real record you can buy at the Colette store in Paris and is advertised to play 3-5 times before your turntable's needle wears the chocolate out. Then you eat it. But not if you're a dog! Chocolate is bad for dogs. Also, if you are a dog, WTF are you doing reading Geekologie? Shouldn't you be like, barking at the door or something? "I just finished licking myself." YOU CAN TALK TOO?!

Hit the jump for a video of a record being made and played.

Thanks to Florian, who pressed a record out of all red Skittles and it sounded and tasted GREAT.

    This is a Twilight themed window display spotted at a toilet store in Austin, Texas. No word if they previously had a Harry Pooper display. Or a Game of Ceramic Thrones one. 50 Shades of Brown? I'm just gonna stop now. Thanks to carey, who informed me this is probably the ... / Continue →
