Chocolate cuckoo clock

An alarm clock designed with the weak willed in mind, this time-sensitive treat delivery system is perfect for those who, left to their own devices, could easily devour a family pack of sugary snacks in a single sitting!

Pour your chocolate ammo into the rear of the machine, round sweets (you know who you are) seem to work best and just ahead of each hour when the big hand hits twelve the dance of the sugar plum fairy will play to notify you of your impending ingestion.

The drawer then pops open and hey presto a single sweet to get you through the next hour, this way a bag lasts much longer, and your midriff won’t balloon due to your fondness of sweet stuff… Well that’s not strictly true.

It took us about 30 seconds to find the cheat button at he back, rendering the entire process utterly useless but we did enjoy trying to eat a jumbo sized box of Maltesers before the clock offered us its measly one, and we could, and now we regret it.

Buying one of these as a gift for your nearest and dearest could always backfire. Fancy being on the end of the old “do you think I eat too much” line? Then this is the gizmo to cause it!
