We have an expression in the UK that we use to describe something we think is useless...."that's about as useful as a chocolate tea pot".

Well that has now been proved to be factually incorrect...

BBC News - Chocolate teapot proves useful

So now you know, chocolate flavoured tea anyone?

Oh, wow! I would like one very much, please! But I agree with FlakeNoir--I'm more of a coffee person ;) Honestly,
I would eat that chocolate tea pot instead of actually using it, LOL! [/SPOILER

Saw that. Still useless. The choc melts on the inside and clogs the spout. Poor bugger spent ages trying to get half a cup out of the thing.

Oh dear, I am that see-through, huh? Maybe I need a name change. (& some behaviour therapy) :biggrin2:
I'm sure you've been told, but until you said so, I had no idea that's what your screen name meant. Here in the US, "flake" is what we call someone who's a bit wishy-washy - and noir is a word describing crime fiction. So I thought you were a sketchy kind of criminal person. Not that this has anything whatsoever to do with chocolate teapots.
Imagine my relief to discover what a sweetheart and lover of chocolate you actually are.

Oh dear... I think the U.S translation might be more apt. :oops:
