Have there been many chocolate cuckoo clocks to, say, make this one's particular height actually a matter of interest?

What is it with germans, chocolate, cuckoo clocks and chocolate cuckoo clocks?

Of Course we understand Homer, afterall we are from zee land of chocolate.

Is this one of those things where a bunch of people sit around brainstorming until they come up with something that will get them into the Guinness book of records?

None of this makes sense. Why Germans, not the Swiss?

Aren't the Swiss famous for making clocks AND chocolate?

Got damn Germans, they need a people/ nation to harass otherwise they get really bored and then this happens.

I must find that clock, and eat it.

... and with it, they will ENSLAVE THE WORLD!

It's about time...

I hope they didn't make it out of the chocolate they stole from the Jews in WW2.

clock with a wooden frame and casing made of 120 kilos (265 pounds) of pure chocolate.

Darn. I was hoping that the entire clock would be chocolate -- hard-tempered chocolate for the gears, which are lubricated with cocoa oil, etc.

My thoughts exactly:

Its a jew-killing machine, disguised as a chocolate cuckoo clock. The streets will run brown with...chocolate.

/And the brown blood in jews' veins

I think the Germans are trying to compete against france's world record "Cuckold Clock"..

//throws cheese at the french

Always smart to do build something chocolate in the middle of a farking blistering summer!1!

Now that's something you can sink your teeth into.

Ja, das ist gut.
I hope that the chocolate has a high melting temp. I dont think it gets all that warm in Germany but if I bought a friggen giant chocolate clock I'd hope it wouldnt melt when I got it home. That be a large puddle o' cocoa

Wanted for questioning.

Why are people incapable of dealing with Germans without talking about WW2?

It's because Germans drink beer, eat sausage, like Hasselhoff, and want to take over the world.

The Cuckoo Clock was invented in Germany. Germans, as well as the Swiss, are known for their chocolate.
So, if anyone should be making this clock, it should be the Germans!

@peachgirl, evajyna, et al

Germans are not really known for chocolate.. the belgian and the swiss are (and luxemburg, but they do not produce that many tons...)

Switzerland produces about 160000 tons of chocolate a year, while belgium is at something around 5000 tons a year.

The Germans make the cuckoo clock (around Schwarzwald), while Swiss watches are known for their precision (and their insane marketing budget).

What time is it? That's right, it's time for chocolate.

Or for you Germans...

Wieviel Uhr ist es? Zeit schokolade zu essen.

Do they have to do this in a huge freezer, or what?

I think this should have an Obvious tag. Well, maybe if it was an Austrian project....
