Ireland’s Fittest Family Coach and All-Ireland winning camogie star Anna Geary has found a weird fact about one of Ireland's favourite chocolate bars.
The Cork native regularly hosts live workout sessions on her instagram, but mixes them in with posts like the one from this morning about sweet treats.
She explained the latest situation to her 117,000 followers on the app.
Did you know that Cadbury’s chocolate flakes don’t melt - apparently?
“I dare you to try it,” she captioned her video.
In the video, Anna pops a beloved Cadbury chocolate flake into the microwave for 30 seconds. After time is up, she removes the flake, still perfectly intact.
“Oh my god, that is so weird,” she says upon examining the pristine, un-melted chocolate bar.
She encourages her followers to try out the bizarre experiment, “Try it for up to 60 seconds. If you leave it in any longer, it may burn but not melt.
“Melt other chocolate for the same duration to compare the difference,” she suggests.
One theory as to why Cadbury’s flakes don’t melt is that the bars are made from dehydrated milk chocolate, which means the sugar will burn rather than melt.
Cadbury has previously told Cosmopolitan magazine that "the reason it's difficult to melt is because, for nearly a century, we have deliberately controlled the final manufacturing process".
Cadbury makes sure that their famous flakes aren’t melt-in-the-mouth like some of their other delicious bars, but instead crumble when eaten.
