As if we didn’t know how important chocolate is, it now has another purpose… a fuel source!!

Researchers in Britain have developed a formula 3 racecar that runs on 30% biodiesel, which is derived from Cadbury chocolate scraps!! This is the coolest! It just shows you the possibilities of alternative fuels!

This car is partially biodegradable too, so its made from potato and flax and its steering wheel is made from carrots and root vegetables.

So we may not see this car on the road anytime soon, but just knowing people are out there experimenting with the possibilities, is pretty cool. Click here to read more!!!
