Marks and Spencer’s launch chocolate in form of Jenga game

Major British clothing manufacturer Marks and Spencer’s has released a fun new Christmas game for the holiday season – chocolate in the form of everyone’s favorite Jenga game.
The £8 Chocolate Topple Towers is a selection of “milk, dark, white and light chocolate blocks”.
The viral clip, posted by the retailer’s employees, has already gained more than 300,000 views on the TikTok social network. It shows M&S employees taking turns removing the chocolate blocks before eating them, but without the tower collapsing.
However, people disagree on whether an edible version of the classic family game is needed. Still, it’s better not to joke with food.
