Video: Chocolates To Make Your Skin Crawl

A maggot-filled box of chocolates has raised further concern about the quality of products ''Made in China.''

A South Korean consumer bought a box of imitation Ferrero Rocher during a visit to China. When he opened them back home he found they were infested with maggots.

6. actually, its not all that bad
they convert the sugars in the candy into protein, making it more nutritious. And since they've clearly been there since hatching out of tiny little eggs, they aren't carrying a bunch of germs. So yum, yum!
