38 foot chocolate monument

During the World's Fair of 1893 in Chicago, the Stollwerck chocolate company of Germany created the Statue of Germania out of a 2,200 pound block of chocolate and the entire structure was made of 30,000 pounds of chocolate.
The small card is 2" wide by 3 3/4"

Soooo what is your Valentine going to be? Hard to top this chocolate.
Years ago I picked up this card... as a chocoholic I couldn't resist.

Stollwerck is still in business since 1839. Website HERE
