Check Out the World’s Largest Chocolate Museum in Switzerland

It really happened! No, Willa Wonka isn’t inviting five lucky kids to tour his chocolate factory in hopes of finding someone to take over his empire, BUT if it’s chocolate you desire, then it’s chocolate you shall receive.

In September 2020, world-famous Swiss chocolatier and confectionery company Lindt opened a new chocolate museum: The Lindt Home of Chocolate, located in in Zurich, Switzerland.

There is plenty to discover in the Lindt Home of Chocolate, including the world’s largest chocolate fountain.

Image Credit: Lindt & Sprüngli

According to the Lindt Home of Chocolate website, this fountain measures over nine meters tall, and drizzles 1,500 liters of chocolate from the golden whisk into the signature Lindor truffle and back again.

Guests are welcome to take their picture with the fountain, so long as you don’t pull an Augustus Gloop!

You can learn all about the origins of chocolate and how Switzerland became the ultimate chocolate capital, through the museum’s guided tours.

You can choose a self-guided audio tour or join a group tour. Either way, you’ll get to see a real chocolate production line in the pilot plant, which allows you to follow a product every step of the way as it is produced.

And yes, before you ask, OF COURSE you’ll be given a chance to sample some delicious chocolate!

The museum boasts an inviting cafe, as well as the biggest Lindt chocolate shop in the world.

In the chocolate shop, you can watch a real Lindt Master Chocolatier as they work.

Savor the chocolate masterpieces they create fresh daily, or even have a Lindt Master Chocolatier create an original bar, customized to your taste preferences.

If the COVID-19 pandemic is still affecting your ability to travel and you know you won’t be able to pop on over to Switzerland anytime soon, check out this video in which the Lindt Maître Chocolatier gives professional Swiss tennis player Roger Federer a personal tour. It’s almost like being there yourself!

I want to see that chocolate fountain, but I don’t know if I can promise to keep my hands inside the ride. I wonder how they prevent kids from reaching in? I doubt oompa-loompas are involved, but who knows!

Which part of the Lindt Home of Chocolate museum do you want to experience the most?

Let us know in the comments!

Great Cat Posts for You to Enjoy

I currently don’t have a kitty and I gotta say, I really miss the companionship.

Even though they are total weirdos and they play by their own rules and do what they want, cats do bring a lot of happiness and joy into our homes and they make great friends…when they’re not biting, scratching, or ignoring us.

So what better way to celebrate these creatures than to look at some great cat posts that we’ve seen recently? Doesn’t that sound like a good idea?

Let’s check them out!

1. I love this!

Cat owners, are you paying attention?

What Three Words of Advice Would You Give to Your 18-Year-Old Self? Here’s How People Responded.

Do you remember what you were like when you were 18?

I was pretty sure things would flow very smoothly and I’d be well on my way to…well, I don’t know what exactly, but I was sure I’d be on the fast track to something.

But, as you know, life has a funny way of working out and, for me, it’s taken many turns and detours that I couldn’t have seen coming.

It’s all good, but I still wish I could go back in time and give my 18-year-old self some advice to make things a little bit easier, which I’m sure a lot of you do, too.

This tweet was thrown out to folks and it got them thinking…

So let’s see how they responded!

1. It doesn’t always work out.

Sad, but true.

2. This is great advice.

We could all use a little bit more cash in the bank.

3. You got this!

And don’t let anyone tell you any differently.

4. Get out of bad relationships as soon as possible.

They’ll just get worse.

5. Make the move.

It’ll be good for you.

6. Definitely not for everyone.

If you know it’s true for you, just don’t do it.

7. It ruins many lives.

And it costs a fortune.

8. Things will look up.

So keep moving forward.

9. Get that degree!

And get out into the world!

10. This is very important.

Help each other out.

11. Always trust your gut.

Believe in yourself.

12. You don’t always have to be in a huge hurry.

Good things come to those who wait.

How about you?

Really Bad Real Estate Photos That Might Make You Cringe

I don’t work in real estate, but I would think that, at the very least, you would want really quality photos of the place you’re trying to sell so people would be interested.

What you’re about to see is the exact OPPOSITE of what homeowners and realtors should be doing…at least I think so…

These folks didn’t even bother to clean up their homes and, as you will see in a minute, some of the design choices are very…interesting…

And all of these places have been documented by an Instagram page called Terrible Real Estate Photos and we’d like to salute them for their important work.

Let’s take a look, shall we?

1. Ummmm, there’s a dog on the roof.

Just letting you know.

2. It’s a very festive room.

Get into the holiday spirit!

3. Watch your head on this thing.

This really does not seem safe.

4. LOOK IN THE WINDOW.

Does that horrifying clown come with the house?

5. This is a nightmare.

Straight from HELL.

6. This place is move-in ready.

In case you’re interested…

7. Some very interesting choices here…

Do you have any thoughts about this place?

8. I fell in love with it immediately!

I mean, what’s not to like?

9. Go ahead and park that anywhere.

What happens when you need to go to the store?

10. That was nice of them to clean the place up.

It’s gorgeous! How much money are we talking here?

11. This is what luxury looks like.

Well, you sold me!

12. You can get a lot done in this space.

What else could you ask for?

13. I’m very confused by this room.

I’m gonna need to talk to the architect.

Oh boy…those are NOT GOOD.

Now we want to hear from you.

Tell us about your weird, terrible, and downright strange real estate experiences.

Talk to us in the comments! Thanks!

Movie Details You Might Have Never Noticed

There are SO many movies out there that it can seem overwhelming at times, don’t you think?

Especially now with all these streaming services, the options are just endless. BUT, I have a feeling that most of you have seen a good majority of the movies that the folks talk about in these posts where they point out some pretty interesting things that you might have missed in popular films.

So what do you say? Do you wanna learn about some interesting movie details that probably flew over your head?

I thought you’d say yes! Let’s take a look!

1. The Man of Steel.

There will be no chest shaving here!

In Man Of Steel (2013), Henry Cavill (Superman) was asked to shave his chest for the collapsing oil rig scene, However he refused saying that Superman had chest hair, citing the famous "Death of Superman" graphic novel as a reference. from MovieDetails

2. Did you notice this?

A little, important detail.

In the incredibles 2, the painting in Helen’s hotel room is an illustration of her seperation from the family. from MovieDetails

3. It’s hidden in there.

I definitely missed that one.

The poster for the movie Legend (2015) mocked one of its negative reviews by hiding the two star review between the Kray twins heads. from MovieDetails

4. Ahhh, very clever.

I need to revisit this movie.

In the Truman Show, we see Truman taking high dose vitamin D at breakfast time. This is to counteract the deficiency he would have becouse there is no real sunlight in the constructed world he inhabits. from MovieDetails

5. That was definitely not a mistake.

Portraying America as the Evil Empire.

In Avatar (2009), the evil imperialists’ room is shaped like an American flag. from MovieDetails

6. The importance of the moment.

An epic scene.

In "The Return of the King (2003)", during the epic scene of the Rohirrim Charge Peter Jackson requested that only extras who have read the novel and could recite the scene, to be placed in the front lines as they are aware of the importance of this moment. It’s how he ended up with this epic rider. from MovieDetails

7. Change the toppings!

Had to localize the joke.

In Inside Out, the pizza toppings were changed from broccolis to bell peppers in Japan, since kids in Japan don’t like bell peppers. Pixar localised the joke. from MovieDetails

8. What’s that ticking noise?

Pay attention to this next time.

In Interstellar on the water planet, the soundtrack in the background has a prominent ticking noise. These ticks happen every 1.25 seconds. Each tick you hear is a whole day passing on Earth. (Math in the comments) from MovieDetails

9. When the music’s over.

Took on a darker tone.

Mulan (1998) only has musical numbers for the first half, until the characters find the destroyed village. From there on songs were avoided because the tone was meant to be darker. from MovieDetails

10. Hopefully it’s not too late.

This is an important movie.

In the opening scene of WALL-E (2008) there are wind turbines and nuclear plants built on top of trash mounds to imply that mankind didn’t convert to clean energy until it was too late from MovieDetails

11. Where is Kevin?

What did he get himself into this time?

In Home Alone (1990) when they counted the people for the trip they say there’s 17 people in total. An odd number between two vans means they will be split 8/9. Since Kevin was missing both vans had 8 people instead, making each group assume they were on the 8-people van, not suspecting a thing from MovieDetails

12. A testament to friendship.

It’s time to say goodbye.

In Avengers: Endgame when Captain America is going off to return the stones, the rest are expecting him to return. Bucky says his goodbye knowing Steve is not returning to his timeline, a testament to their friendship! from MovieDetails

13. That is one HUGE ring.

Gotta get those close-up shots!

Giant ring used for close-ups in ‘Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring’ (2001). from MovieDetails

14. I never noticed that before!

Well, what do you know?

In THE KARATE KID (1984) Daniel’s friend Freddy wears a National Organization For The Reform Of Marijuana Laws (NORML) shirt. from MovieDetails

How about you?

Do you know of any interesting movie details that most people don’t know about?

If so, please share them with us in the comments.

We’d love to hear from you. Thanks!
