What better way to dress up a love letter than with a delicious
chocolate stamp? The Belgian postal service, BPost, introduced a
unique collection of stamps last
week that have been made to smell and taste like
chocolate.
The creators mixed chocolate flavoring into the glue of the stamps
using cocoa essential oils, so you get a taste of chocolate when
you lick and stick your stamp.
Re-creating the taste of Belgian chocolate was a difficult process,
the agency said in a press release. It required collaboration from
experts in four countries: Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and
Switzerland.
The "Chocolat" collection includes five designs, paying tribute to
different types of chocolate such as praline and chocolate
spread
And unfortunately, if you don't live in Belgium you won't be able
to get a taste of these stamps, though the U.S. postal service has
reportedly thought about selling flavored stamps of its own, even
toying with an
"Appletini" flavor for New York.
