RIP Ferrero, even though your chocolate was rubbish.

With this cremation you are spoiling us.

I've never had Ferrero Rocher, as doing so would be class betrayal.

The dark chocolate Ferrero Rondnoirs were OK I thought - munched away on them happily enough last time I was in Italy.

With his chocolate salty balls, he was really <snip>

From Reuters:

"Ferrero, maker of Nutella spread and Rocher chocolates, said in a statement the 48 year-old, who was joint chief executive with his brother Giovanni, had died after falling from a bicycle in South Africa, probably due to an ailment."

Sounds a bit vague, I smell intrigue.

Poor bugger though. 48 is far too young to peg out.

Ferrero are also responsible for Kinder Eggs, so presumably his coffin will be a big yellow plastic shell. Let's hope that in 100 years time a child will crack it open and reconstruct his bones.
