Laws are like sausages, it is better to not see them being made.                                         -Otto von Bismarck

Some factories are not visitor-friendly, and for good reason.  Sausages, minced meat, knock-off purses and glue (RIP Black Beauty) are all made in places that most commoners would not be let in, guided around and offered free samples. For good reason: they are scary, probably dirty, and doing illegal things. This is NOT TRUE of the Magic Hat factory.

They have free samples, a fun-house tour, a sweet beagle-ish dog that lurks around the gift shop, and A PHOTO BOOTH!

So legit! I think if I was going to have a factory, I'd want it to make dark chocolate head statues. People could make a bust of their head, or even their pet's head or paw, and have it turned into a solid chocolate memory.

Pets would be tricky, with all the fur and dirt that their little paws pick up. But there would be a tour, taking people through all the steps of imprinting, mold-making, chocolate pouring and chilling.

How 'bout it, science?
