A bar of chocolate has been created that can be eaten while you diet.Its makers claim it has 90% fewer calories than a normal bar and doesn't melt as easy as every day chocolate.Swiss chocolatier Barry Callebaut has named his secret ingredient "Vulcano" because it can withstand heat up to 55C.A spokesman told the Daily Mirror: "Our engineers stumbled upon the technique by accident."It's nice and chocolatey with a strong aroma. It does melt in the mouth but it is the enzymes in saliva rather than the heat that cause it to dissolve."The company hope to sell Vulcano to Cadbury's and Nestle and It could be used in their bars within two years. A cat sparked a full-scale emergency after stepping on a phone and dialling 999.Watson, a one-year-old Bengal, trod on the handset and then somehow hit the redial button four times.Police raced to the address and spotted a smashed vase when they peered through a window. Fearing a burglary they broke down the door, reports The Sun.Owner Lauren O'Shea, 23, an animal nursing assistant, said: "A friend saw all commotion at my flat and called me."I hurried round there and the police told me they thought there had been a burglary."I immediately said, 'I bet it was the cat'. When we first moved in he would play a lot with the phone."Lauren, of East Preston, West Sussex, added: "When we first moved in, the cat would play with the phone a lot - so we used to try to hide it from him."Clumsy moggy Watson, who Lauren took from an animal rescue centre, redeemed himself when he won second prize at a Bengal cat show at the weekend. |
