Camel’s milk chocolate to go on sale in fall

Low-fat camel’s milk chocolate will soon go on sale after an Austrian chocolate maker teamed up with an Arabic camel farm.

Vienna-based Chocolatier Hochleitner has developed the drink by using milk from the United Arab Emirates and money from the Abu Dhabi royal family.

“We have come so far and what was once thought of as a crazy idea has become a huge project, particularly in the Arabic world where there is a potential market of about 200 million people,” company head Johann Georg Hochleitner said.

Hochleitner says camel’s milk is a healthier alternative to cow’s milk because it’s lower in fat and sweeter.

Town haunted by ghost bride

Frontera, Argentina is said to be living in fear of the ghost of a woman who was left at the altar.

Children are unwilling to go to class and street cleaners are refusing to work night shifts because of the apparition, saying they are terrified after seeing the ghostly figure of a woman wearing a wedding dress.

The town priest has held a special mass to attempt to pacify the spirit, which locals claim to have seen throughout the town.

“This is getting out of hand, the whole town is terrified. We’ve been getting phone calls all the time,” a police spokesperson said.

“They say it is a bride who was left in the altar and died of sadness and now wants to bring the same sadness to everyone she encounters.”

School encouraged to give children beer

The Louvian Beer Therapists, a Belgian organization, is encouraging schoolchildren to drink light ale instead of soda.

The group says low alcohol beer would be healthier for children than the high-sugar sodas they currently drink.

Spokeswoman An Frankie claimed she was given beer at school as a child.

“A light alcoholic beer is far healthier than soft drinks which are often too sweet,” Frankie said.

“Why don’t schools put a bottle of light beer on the table anymore like they used to do?”

Belgian dieticians were appalled at the suggestion and responded that children should not be allowed to drink alcohol.
