Chefs from across Peru gathered in Lima on Saturday in a bid to make the world’s biggest chocolate bar. The mammoth chocolate bar was made using more than two tons of pure cocoa, nearly 400 gallons of milk, 1500 pounds of sugar, 44 pounds of chestnuts and walnuts, and 66 gallons of water. Chocolatiers from all over Peru raised 250,000 Peruvian soles, or nearly $100,000, for the project and worked 8 hours straight to make the bar.
This huge pearl, estimated to be worth over $100 million, was found by an unnamed fisherman 10 years ago during a storm off the coast of Palawan island in the Philippines. Not knowing its value, he kept it under his bed as a good luck charm. Only after his house burnt down did he show the pearl to other people, and found out how much it was worth. Now the record breaking two-foot long, 75 pound pearl is on display at the Puerto Princesa City Hall on Palawan island.
