In keeping with public safety during the pandemic, temporary outdoor sanitization stations will be set up along the street.
Remy Labesque is an engineer at Tesla, but he’s also a chocolate designer.
Remy has been working to engineer the perfect chocolate chip.
Basically, he applied all of his knowledge around industrial design and engineering to chocolate chips and came up with a new shape that makes the chips melt smoother and taste better.
After a lot of experimentation, the chips wound up looking like pyramids and, apparently, they really are better than normal chocolate chips.
But if you want them, it’s going to cost you. The company made them out of super premium chocolate, so for a bag that’s just over one pound, you’ll pay $30. That’s roughly 10 times the cost of a bag of Nestle chocolate chips.
