The 7 Most Delicious Life-Size Car Models You Have Ever Seen

Throughout the years I’ve been writing on Oddity Central, I’ve seen some pretty amazing car models built out of the most unusual materials, and edible cars have definitely been among the most impressive. I’ve featured some of them on this blog, and today I thought I’d make a list of the coolest life-size cars made of things you love to eat.
Chococar
This tasty looking thing was created exclusively out of chocolate, and was exhibited in SIngapore’s Royal Plaza on Scotts, back in 2008. The 4.7 meters-long, 2 meters-wide Formula 1 car weighed around 90 kilograms and was made with white, dark and milk chocolate. The design alone took 44 days to complete, and a team of eight chocolatiers worked 7 days and nights on it.

Ice hotel, Sweden

This impressive building is the world’s first and largest hotel built entirely of ice and snow. Each year, huge ice blocks weighing more than 2 tons each are plucked from the frozen Torne River and shaped into magnificent suites, a restaurant and the famous Ice Bar.
