iPad un(chocolate)boxing

June 12, 2010

Right, this is the rebirth of my blogging. My first post in at least 5 years, with a new domain and a new title.

Anyone who knows my wife, @kerrching, knows that she’s a Apple nut. Also, with a June birthday, she has conveniently positioned herself perfectly for the Apple release cycle. An iPad was inevitable for her birthday, but I knew that if I just delivered a wrapped box, there wouldn’t be much of a surprise. Where’s the fun in that? So I rang my friends James and Paul, who happens to run the finest chocolate shop in London, Paul A Young Fine Chocolates and said “Could you freeze an iPad in chocolate carbonite, and have it survive?”. They weren’t sure, but were willing to give it a go.

Additionally, iPads aren’t available yet in South Africa, so it had to smuggled over from London, without Kay finding out what was going on.

The prepared product:

P1030591

Unwrapping begins:

The “I like chocolate, but you gave me 2 kg of it for my birthday, are you a bit nuts? look”:

Why don’t you pull on that little ribbon embedded in the chocolate?

Realisation!

Revelation:

Acceptance:

Success!!!!!!!!

With many many thanks to all the wonderful people who helped this to happen:

Simon , who waited in line forever at the London Apple Store to source the machine itself.

James and Paul, for successfully performing the carbon-freezing process, and

Karen, who went through a couple of hours of hell trying to explain what was going on to the South African customs people.

Oh, and just in case you’re worried: no iPads were harmed in this production :)

Update: 16:27, June 14th

Wow. Well, thanks for all the kinds words, everyone. This ran away a little more than I expected.

    What a brilliant idea!
    I remember in high school, I used to think up ways for a friend to give money as a birthday present that wasn’t just like, “Here, have a 20.” One time he gave someone $20 in pennies and another I suggested that he put the $20 bill in a ziplock bag and put that in a bottle of coke. He ended up also freezing said bottle before giving it to our friend.

    This is absolutely something unexpected of the norm!! Haha, your wife must have felt sweeter than the chocolate itself :D happy birthday to her!

  9. June 13, 2010 2:19 pm

    Totally brilliant, I might steal that idea one day for a special someone’s birthday! I actually did the reverse once at an excavation (well, kinda sorta). We buried a box of goodies in the dirt and then forced the birthday boy to dig on THAT PARTICULAR SPOT until he hit the box. Got pretty much the same facial expressions out of it as your wife had. Great going!

    Not only is that clever but soooooo romantic! And I can’t believe you risked wrapping it in chocolate without knowing if real damage could occur. LOL.

    Very cute! From the look on her face, you clearly got some major brownie points for that one! I wouldn’t be the biggest fan of the iPad myself (*gasp*), so I hope the chocolate was nice too. :)

    One year, I sent my husband on a treasure hunt to find his Christmas present, which itself was a printed photo of the gift, wrapped in a large box. (Long story short, it was too heavy to bring over on the plane.) Clues were hidden all over the house, even outside where he had to brave the freeze and snow to find them; that way it was a gift for me as well! Hehe. :)

    Fan-freaking-tastic. I love creative gifts, and this one takes the cake! –er, the chocolate?

  29. June 13, 2010 4:46 pm

    Stu says the conversation with customs must have gone along the lines of “Yes, it’s a chocolate bar. With an Electronic device embedded in it. With magnets and all sorts. Certainly officer.””

    There is no way I could top something like this!

    Honestly…

    you bought an ipad for your girl and covered in chocolate so she could say”wow my white fat boyfriend actually cares” “he is not just a boring ‘ceo'” no, no, no, no, no… he is a man od his times, he is inventive, he will covered the ipad with chocolate and send it across the globe, because he loves her.

        John, what is wrong with you, I mean it is just a post about a guy who gave the girl he loves a birthday gift, it was sweet. You must be really damned lonely for this to upset you. I mean your comments are just so damned angry, and about what, you disagree with his method of birthday gift. If there is anything having to do with twirp kids here , it is you.

    I have no idea how you top this. Gooooaaaallllll! Home run! Using chocolate pretty much insures that the wrapping will be recycled.
