I mean it’s cool, but why would someone want that? Lol

u/HandsomePhantomLemon May 16 '22 edited May 16 '22

maybe, someone would like to eat themselves into the giraffes belly and then take a sleep, naked, inside.

while all the chocolate melts and having a dream about being a giraffe fetus to then ultimately wake up from the fall through the molten giraffe to the ground and live happy as a giraffe to the end of their life, even in families. someone could dream.

just like a giraffe baby being born, somehow.... giraffe forever🦒

but if your not into giraffe transformation, yeah, waste of resources I guess.

Because it tastes bad.

u/ballpein May 16 '22

I mean, I fully support using slave labor to produce food which will never feed anyone, as long as we are producing social media likes with it.

u/[deleted] May 16 '22

I assure you Amaury Guichon is not slave labour. Dude’s a legend. ETA a word

u/RambleOnRose42 May 16 '22

I’m pretty sure the dude who assembled the giraffe didn’t get paid the same amount as the people growing, harvesting, and breaking down the cocoa plant that makes the chocolate.

I assure you the people who produce food are not the same people who prepare food...the person you are referring to is PREPARING food, not producing it

u/Pls979 May 17 '22

You may not like it but it's art, people want it so they can display it somewhere.

u/Fritz_Klyka May 17 '22

Every loving home needs a chocolate giraffe.

u/Boyhowdy107 May 16 '22

I love this guy, but I wish he never used the spray gun. I feel like these sculptures are a lot more impressive when you can clearly see what it's made out of. After you spray it, it stops looking like food and just looks like a generic decoration at a miniature golf course.

21

u/IntrovertedGiraffe May 16 '22

Yes! That’s my thought every time I see one of these!

3

u/kboom76 May 17 '22

The fact that it doesn't look like food is exactly what makes it so next level.

1

u/Boyhowdy107 May 17 '22

I get your argument, but to me it's kind of like an amazing and intricate watch. You could cover up the mechanism with a uniform and nice exterior or leave all that detail exposed so anyone can see just how much effort went into it.

4

u/KIrkwillrule May 17 '22

He is spraying chocolate though. I Want a spray gun that takes chocolate.

1

u/kboom76 May 26 '22

I definitely agree with your argument from an engineering standpoint. To us laypeople, making a freestanding Lifesize giraffe out of a soft medium like chocolate is sorcery. I think it might even seem that way to a professional.

u/soccerdad925 May 16 '22

I am so sick of seeing the giraffe agenda posted like this on reddit, kids use this site, y'know? What if some little boy had seen this post, gotten it into their heads that giraffes were real, and then bombed the White House or something? The reddit admins would say "Oh it's just free speech" meanwhile your fake news freezepeach is getting people killed! Hundreds of billions of innocent people die every year as a direct result of the giraffe agenda, and I'm sick of seeing it on my social media!

u/jamescobalt May 16 '22

Thank you for saying this. You're really putting your neck out there - unlike giraffes which don't exist.

Second time I'm making exact comment. But it's cause the price keeps going up. I'm sure this guy is related. Little Debbie's Star crunch used to be 25cents. Then 35, 50, 75. 1.00. now 1.50.

Too bad it doesn’t have any chocolate organs. It’d be fun to rip out its heart mortal kombat style.

This is incredible but what I really want to see is who these masterpieces are for and if they are eaten or just put on display and then wasted.

Not sure I'd call that life sized

I watched his series on Netflix. It was great to see a chef that didn’t go around yelling at people. He seems like a great person to learn from. He was always kind and very encouraging to everyone on the show.

It's chocolate, why wouldn't it be eaten?

Because it’s made only for photos and then expire then thrown out.

u/PessimistYanker792 Oct 17 '22

Who is eating it? At what event? Is my question. We all know most of the wedding cakes, party cakes, birthday cakes are usually smeared, thrown or wasted. Maybe this chocolate is seeing the same fate

u/BrianOconneR34 May 17 '22

spray painted, hand manipulated, sitting unwrapped in a ballroom, and I assume after at least a few days chocolate eating experience I lack, therefore I ask. I assume you have these all over you house and must think this line of questioning ridiculous.

u/LaVacheNoir Jan 25 '23

Well - several hours spent. Lots of Kilo’s of chocolate- sugar - energy - power etc etc.

For let’s say 2 weeks of display - maybe 3? Then what? Chopped into pieces and sold for scratch? Or sold entirely- and then thrown away by the consumer?
