Who needs a cuckoo when you can have chocolate?

Ever had those awful months when clients just want to make your life hell (Of course they sent that email and the project is due tomorrow) and your manager is all cranky after her last break-up? It’s true, other than the rather creative use of a baseball bat in a dark alley followed by some strenuous shovel work, there really is nothing you can do about them.
However, you can get a timely device that delivers delightfully yummy chocolate every hour, a timely savior just as you are ready to make a run for the door.
It’s called a Chocolate Clock and it dispenses hourly doses of chocolates. All you got to do is fill up the clock with M&M sized treats and wait patiently for your hourly treats.
What’s the best bit? No one has to know about your secret snack store. You can be the chocolate troll at work and not share your delicious treasure. The clock will pop out a chocolate bit and tick tock patiently for 30 seconds before swooshing back in.
Watch out for the ‘dance of the sugar plum fairy’ tune. This could be the make or break factor. Of course you could play it off as your stress relief music and your tasty treats will never be uncovered.

What a neat idea!
You could also use this to “deliver” medicines that require frequent or regular dosages. Vitamins or other supplements would work too. It could also simply “dish out” small colored peebles as “reminders” to do a particular action. If you’re studying or learning a foreign language, each reminder could prompt you to practice a new word, phrase, or expression or do a quick review of a grammar point. I could think of lots of additional ways to make use of this unique clock and timing device. How about you? What do you think you could use this for?

Lol. Maybe there shud be alternate bits of sour sweets just to throw off the would-be snatchers?
Oh and checked the link, you can reload chocolate (must be some hidden compartment somewhere.

The cuckoo clock looks a bit too small for my daily chocolate dose

The medicine and language idea sounds cool. The only other use I can think of is timely jokes or inspiring quotes. Especially for horrible work days.
