YEREVAN, Armenia — Anyone looking for huge
amounts of free chocolate should book a flight to Armenia's capital
next month. That's when the world's largest chocolate bar will be
up for grabs in Yerevan's main square. The Guinness Book of World
Records certified the 9,702-pound (4,410-kilogram) chocolate bar at
a ceremony Saturday.
It was made by Grand Candy factory and contains all natural
ingredients, including 70 percent cocoa mass. The chocolate bar is
224 inches (560 centimeters) long, 110 inches (275 centimeters)
wide and 10 inches (25 centimeters) thick.
The factory owner, Karen Vardanyan, said that the chocolate bar
was produced to mark the 10th anniversary of the company. He said
it will be divided up and handed out Oct. 16.
