Scientists Develop Chocolate That Won't Melt At High Temperatures

Zothecula writes "One of life's less pleasant surprises is discovering the chocolate bar that you forgot you had in your pocket on a hot day. Two scientists working at Cadbury's research and development plant in Bourneville, U.K., are fighting that gooey surprise with the invention of chocolate that remains solid even when exposed to temperatures of 40 C (104 F) for more than three hours. Aimed at tropical markets, the 'temperature tolerant chocolate' is described in a World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) patent application."

If your mouth is 104 F you might want to see a doctor!

If your chocolate bar remains hard for more than four hours, please see a confectioner.

This sounds as scary as...

McDonald's french fries that do not spoil.

It's actually stolen technology: Smarties [wikipedia.org]

I think you're missing an important point of physics: If it won't melt at 104F, it won't melt at 98.6F, either, which is the problem. :)
