Kiwi ingenuity is not dead. This amazing short video clip Creme That Egg! (below) is like every schoolboy’s Rube Goldberg fantasy. It is the entry of a 23-year-old New Zealander into a competition for a chocolate company. Entrants needed to find the most creative way to break a chocolate egg. The clip is gobsmacking, and it’s also gobsmacking that it didn’t win (I can’t vouch for the actual chocolate). I suppose the marketing people at the chocolate factory couldn’t work out a way to turn Creme That Egg! into an advertisement. Whatever: advertising’s loss should be New Zealand film’s gain. This fellow deserves a job, now.Updates
