What you see above isn’t a series of nested bowls–it’s much cleverer.
The domes are actually edible chocolate. Each one is made of differing percentages of cocoa bean. The outermost dome has the least cocoa content, at 60%, and the innermost dome has the highest cocoa content, at 99%. (The percentage is stamped into the nub atop each bell.) When you lift that last dome…
…you get 100% cocoa. That is, a cocoa bean:
Another unique creation doubles as a novel measuring system. Four different flavors come in three different-sized slices. When you order a full disc of chocolate, you can choose exactly how much you want of each variety–so long as the total adds up to 100%.

I wish the meetings at work had pie charts like that!
Wouldn’t it be great – it wouldn’t matter what the segments represented (people who said ‘no’, or ‘maybe’ or ‘dissatisfied’) because it’d all taste delicious!
Interesting pie chart there, wouldn’t last long though.
