Why The Chocolate Phone Stinks On Ice

Greetings, kind-hearted readers. You know, the LG Chocolate, which I’ve been using for two weeks thanks to the folks at LG, is a pretty nice-looking cellphone—too bad the touch-sensitive buttons stop working at the worst possible time. Find out why after the jump. https://gizmodo.com/lg-chocolate-phone-reviewed-verdict-ham-handed-191803 Last night I was alone in my chamber watching news that…

Due to be released on July 31, the gang over at Gadgetell got their hands on an LG Chocolate and have the pictures to prove it. Think of it as a striptease. It appears that just getting the Chocolate isn’t enough to really begin to enjoy all the music-related benefits of the cellphone since a…

LG Chocolate Phone Goes Un-chocolatey: Pink, White

So LG launched their line of chocolate phones earlier this year. I still had no idea why they are themed chocolate, but I assumed it was because they are dark colors, were released around Valentine’s Day and pale Asian ladies loved them. Apparently I was wrong because these phones are being released in pink and…

Explosive Chocolate Bomb

Here’s a product from the Chocolate Trading Company in the UK that’s so goofy we thought it must be a joke—the Explosive Chocolate Bomb made by Braquier has what’s cryptically called a “quality dark chocolate shell and contents” that provide “ongoing entertainment.” You can tell there’s something mildly dangerous going on here, because it includes…
