Marginal Revolution found one of the most intersting investments I have ever seen. A British chocolate store, Hotel Chocolat, is issuing Chocolate Bonds. The bonds cost $2,000 each and pay a 5.38% annual return. Your return, however, comes in the form of chocolate. Something they don’t teach you in accredited online schools.
Two values of Chocolate Bond will be issued: both with the return paid in monthly Tasting Boxes. Holders of a GBP 2,000 Chocolate Bond will receive six free tasting boxes a year worth GBP 107.70 per year, and those holding a GBP 4,000 bond will receive thirteen boxes, worth GBP 233.35 per year. Which comes down to a 5.38% return. After an initial term of three years, and on every anniversary thereafter, bond holders can redeem their bond for a full return of their investment. If they decide to continue to hold the bond, the monthly boxes will keep on coming.
