Staying away from those gooey, delectable candies has never been easier if you have this latest gizmo. The Shockolate Vault is a will power aid with a punch. If you are having a hard time controlling your candy addiction then the Shockolate Vault is the gadget for you.

The vault works by placing your goodies, chocolates or cigarettes in the plastic jar. Set the timer and place your stash inside. If you are tempted by those enticing chocolates, you’ll receive a nasty shock. You can programme the timer until your next fix but cheating will get you a nasty shock.

When the timer winds down, you can reclaim your prizes by squeezing the pads on top of the list and twisting anti-clockwise but only after the timer has given you permission to do so. The timer can be set up to 24 hours in advance. It is not recommended for anyone with heart problems or epilepsy.

This is a great idea for those who really want to break an addiction to candy or quit smoking or those who want to mix in a little pain with their pleasure. The jars don’t come cheap. It’s priced at 9.99 pounds from the Go Bazaar in the UK. Of course you can always smash the jar if you can’t help yourself but that would be cheating as well as a loss of investment.
