A Tesla Engineer Just Made the Perfect Chocolate Chip?

It's good to see some of the finest engineering minds using their talents like THIS. An engineer at Tesla, who also has been moonlighting as . . . a chocolate designer. He has been working with a company called Dandelion Chocolate in San Francisco to engineer the perfect CHOCOLATE CHIP. Adam also had a listener call in to say that yesterday she did one of the Dandelion virtual chocolate tastings, and she talks about it. Check it out! Basically, he applied all of his knowledge around industrial design and engineering to chocolate chips . . . and came up with a new shape that makes the chips MELT smoother and TASTE better. After a lot of experimentation, the chips wound up looking like pyramids and, apparently, they really ARE better than normal chocolate chips. But if you want them, it's going to cost you. Dandelion made them out of super premium chocolate, so for a bag that's just over one pound, you'll pay $30. That's roughly 10 times the cost of a bag of Nestle Toll House chocolate chips.
