Way to make snail mail infinitely more appealing than hitting send on an email, Belgium. The cocoa crazy nation has released a set of special stamps that smell and taste like chocolate. Bpost, the Belgian post office, has printed more than 500,000 delicious, lip-smacking stamps to celebrate the country's famous chocolatiers. The delectable stamps are printed on special paper "imbued with the aroma of cocoa" and coated in a special varnish that looks and smells like chocolate. Any chocoholic philatelists are advised to stay well clear, in case they keel over from sheer, overwhelming happiness. [Source]
