You never eat where you poop, but this bathroom makes it tempting: Bathrooms.com and Choccywoccydoodah, a Britain-based team of designers and chocolate makers, joined forces to market a bathroom entirely made of Belgian chocolate, which is sold online for $133,000.

The edible bathroom represents 9.4 million calories, according to Bathrooms.com, which said that the idea was inspired from customers who kept misspelling "suite" with "sweet" on its website.

"As a consequence of shoppers searching for ‘bathroom sweets' we decided to answer their search, literally," said Bathrooms.com CEO Ian Monk.

The bathroom has a six-month shell life, if users can prevent it from melting or being eaten earlier.


핥아보고 싶은 변기!

우리가 대변을 보는 장소를 먹는 일은 절대 없을 것이다, 하지만 이 화장실은 왠지 그러고 싶어지게 만든다: 영국에 위치한 초콜릿 제조사와 디자이너 회사인 Bathrooms.com 과 Choccywoccydoodah 사가 합작하여 100 퍼센트 벨기에 초콜릿으로 만든 화장실 만들었는데, 온라인에서 133,000 달러에 판매되고 있다. 

이 먹을 수 있는 화장실은 총 9백만 4천 칼로리로, Bethrooms.com사는 고객들이 웹사이트에서 “세트”를 뜻하는 “suite”와 “사탕이나 초콜릿”등을 뜻하는 “sweet”의 발음이 똑같아 스펠링을 잘못 적는 것에서 아이디어를 얻었다고 말했다.

“스펠링을 잘못 적어’화장실 초콜릿’을 검색하는 고객들 때문에 우리는 문자 그대로 그들이 찾는 것을 제공하기로 했다”고 이안 몬크 사장은 말했다.

사용자들이 초콜릿을 녹이거나 빨리 먹어 치우지 않는 한 이 초콜릿 화장실의 유통기한은 6개월이다.
