Top 10 Chocolate Gadgets for National Chocolate Week
God damn it. Just when we start our annual Shiny Towers Get Fit Quick scheme, we're bombarded with temptation in the form of National Chocolate Week. What's a group of slightly hormonal women to do? Pass the Galaxy, will you?
Here's our top Chocolate picks for the week ahead (and no, they're not all from LG). 
1. HP Pavilion Chocolate laptop
Yeah yeah yeah, it's got a low-light webcam, a dedicated media button, stereo speakers, a wireless mouse. But it's also got "earthy and chocolate browns", "a filigree flower pattern inlaid in the casing" and a "russet slip cover". Mmm, nothing tastes as good as style over substance.
2. Chocolate fountain
There are some people who will only attend a party if the Champagne is flowing. Me? I won't turn up unless there's a chocolate fountain on hand. You can get your very own living room version from Firebox for £89.99.
2. Explosive chocolate bomb
Bombs, generally, are rubbish. They hurt people, they're expensive (I imagine) and they're terribly unpopular. Unless they're made of chocolate, that is. You can light the wick of this one, and stand back as the chocolate bomb explodes. And the mess to your table cloth? Why, that's just collateral damage.
3. Sony Ericsson K770i
Making a successful brown phone is all about the right marketing. The sludge brown K770i? Not going to sell. The truffle brown K770i? Instant best-seller. It's also got a 3.2 megapixel camera, 16MB of internal memory, and all the lens and flash professionalism you'd expect from a Cybershot. Sadly, now all we're interested in are the 5 megapixel babies, despite the fact we will Never. Print. Our. Photos.
4. Shocolate chocolate dispenser
When your chocolate craving becomes a real problem, there's only one solution. Electrification. Yes, when you can't trust yourself to have the self-control to leave the candy alone, you can lock it in this jar which will administer an electric shock to whoever tries to retrieve it. You set the timer to decide when it's accessible again. Some time in 2009 should do the trick.
Ok, so it's not actually a gadget, but it does have gadget heritage. Thanks to the dubious power of Facebook groups, Cadbury's has brought back the Wispa bar. There's only one way to respond to that - set up a 'Bring back Spangles' group.
6. Choctail Maker
As Mr Ford of Ford Motor Cars once said, you can have any flavour, as long as it's chocolate. This machine will make you chocolate milkshakes, mochaccinos, hot chocolate and chocolate flavoured cocktails, all ready for you to add the compulsory whipped cream flourish on top. You just set it to melt your favourite chocolate bar, add the milk/coffee/Baileys, and pour.
7. Gina McGrath laptop bag
Good enough to eat? Quite possibly, but even the softest of leather tends to stick in the throat when not chewed properly. You're better off using this one for its intended purpose and sticking your laptop in it, especially since it's going to set you back $150, and that would be one expensive taste of chocolate.
8. LG Chocolate phone
We couldn't just not mention it, now could we? It's spawned a whole host of LG Chocolate ranges, such as TVs, speaker systems and computer monitors, but the original is this beautiful to look at (rubbish to actually use) mobile phone, so loved by... well, everyone.
10. PSP vending machine
They were announced in June last year, but we've yet to hear of any sightings in the wild. But, they *might* exist, and they're surely the 21st century chocolate vending machine. In fact, that goes for the rumoured Japanese porn vending machines, the Vodafone PAYG phone vending machines and the hot boy vending machine. OK, that last one might just be in my head.
