Trust the Belgians to think up something new. They are artistically avant-garde in designer fashions, cartoons and painting, so why not stamps?
Last month, just before Easter, five new chocolate-flavoured stamps arrived on the market. They have pictures of chocolate on the front, the essence of cacao oil in the glue at the back for taste and in the ink for smell. A complete fix !!
It was not easy to get the scent and flavour of the dark chocolate right. In the end, people from Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland all worked on it.
It is not the first scented stamp … but this is the first time it has been combined with a flavour.
How neat
