Chocolate Phonograph Record
made by Li-Lac Chocolates in 2017
1903 Stollwerck Gramophone
These two very rare tin phonographs pictured
were made in late 1903 and were designed to play foiled
wrapped disk records made of chocolate! (1)
"Made by the Stollwerck Chocolate
company in Germany, the phonographs were powered by a tiny
clock motor...Stollwerck's French partner, Kratz-Boussac,
sold the identical machine in France under the brand name
"Eureka," without the Stollwerck markings, as pictured on
the left." (Text and photograph courtesy of Rene Rondeau
and Edisontinfoil.com.)
The discs were wrapped in foil and it
was on the "foil that the ridges were stamped to enable
the music to be played through the phonograph (rather than
the needle touching the chocolate directly." For more

Oreo Music Box - 2018
collectible packaged in a holiday tin that plays a tune when
an Oreo cookie is placed on the turntable and the tone arm is
moved as if to play a record. Unlike the 1903 Stollwerck chocolate
record there are no grooves on the cookie as it is not really
a record. This "music box" phonograph plays assorted
tunes each time anything is put on the turntable.
Kellogg's created what's being
called the world's first record made of breakfast cereal out
of its Chocolate Frosted Flakes and the music of Simon Cowell-mentored
boy band PrettyMuch.
Here's how the record was made
according to ADAM CAMPBELL-SCHMITT in his April 19, 2018
FOOD & WINE on-line article:
First, a mold of the record
was 3-D printed with the grooves of the record in relief. Then,
layers of dark and milk chocolate were poured in to create the
flat surface necessary for a phonograph needle to read, along
with a core of Chocolate Frosted Flakes cereal in between. The
center of the record is cut out to reveal the cereal in the
shape of Frosted Flakes mascot Tony the Tiger's head. After
a little time in the freezer to harden, the resulting cereal
and chocolate record is unmolded and ready to play on any turntable
or, if you choose, devoured.
Here's the link for listening
to their song "Hello" and Step 2 of the recipe, creating
the 3-D Mold.
