Chocolate
A year of chocolate
When he died in 1976, John Bostock left money in his will so that every child under five in the village of Westgate-in-Weardale would be given a bar of chocolate once a week for a year.The children in Eastgate-in-Weardale must have felt like they drew the short end of the straw.

A limited release from Barefoot Wine. And already sold out.Chocolate-infused wine, which is essentially what this is, is nothing new. An odd combination, nevertheless.

The Chocolate Choo-Choo
Despite what the YouTube poster writes, this song was issued to the marketplace, as you can see from the pic of the physical record and the advert.But those circumstance do not make the song, with its faintly scatological title, any less weird.

Bathroom Sweet
This idea started with a common search engine misspelling, chocolate suite verses chocolate sweet. Now you can actually buy the whole sweet suite for just $133,000. The calorie count is available at the link, but who wants to know that?
