Tube Map Made From Chocolate
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 гру 2015
- What would happen if you tried to make a giant tube map out of Quality Street chocolate? How many chocolates would it take? What kind of Quality Street would you use for the Jubilee line? Wouldn't the toffee pennies just melt everywhere?
There's a behind the scenes 'Making of..' video now here: • Chocolate Tube Map Extras
In this festive video, we decided to find out the answer to all these questions.
Merry Christmas from everyone at Londonist! Make sure you subscribe to us on UA-cam for loads of incredible videos all about London.
Thanks to everyone for taking part, and especially to Sarah Smith @ses_smith from GNproductions @gnp_london for filming. Music by Steven @SWI_Steven. Edited by @geofftech and filmed at the fantastic UA-cam Space London studio facility.

Giving a whole new meaning to the phrase "eat your way around London"!
citytransportinfo 😂
Yes
ratty in ma ass
In a nutshell
Excellent stuff Geoff. Your new "Tube Challenge" should you choose to accept it will be to eat the map in less than 16 hours 14 minutes and 10 seconds.
Isn't that the time it takes to visit all the stations?
@@chrisst8922 yes genius, hence the joke
@@James-ic1mpit was just a question
As a tube nerd myself, I find this immensely satisfying.
Same 😹
I swear Geoff should be on TV. Take over from Michael Portillo
Great Idea ;)
+Assorted Tom Great British Railway Journeys with Geoff Marshall haha
He was in the show Fanatics
Absolutely 😂👍
his all the stations are exactly like great british railway journeys
I had this idea a while back with jelly belly flavors. Here are the flavors for each line
Metropolitan - Raspberry
District - Green Apple
Circle - Lemon
H&C - Cotton Candy
Northern: Licorice
Central: Cherry
Bakerloo: Root Beer
Piccadilly: Blueberry
Victoria: Berry Blue
Jubilee: Cream Soda
Overground: Orange
There were no flavors in the color of the Waterloo & City or the DLR
If there are blackberry ones then that would be a perfect colour for the Elizabeth line.
the most wonderfully nerdy thing I've ever seen
Geoff, this was so funny to watch. My son loved it. You've been a true inspiration to him in developing a new hobby that we are more than happy to support. Quality, no pun, family time whizzing around on the Underground, lots of laughs, lots of history & memories being made. Thank you.
This reminded me of Art Attack and Geoff literally reminds me of Neil Buchanan
Good music choice, The Jam - Going Underground
I’m coming to London soon from America, and hope to see most of the transit lines
The background music is the tune of the London Underground song, Geoff’s lesser known cameo trick.
I like the computer modified going underground
I could never do this with my kids. The district line would have to close multiple stations.
So would the Overground *cough cough* WILLESDEN JUNCTION!
That is sooo awesome!!!! The next thing to do would be the whole of national rail, but that would be very challenging!!!!!!!
Nice song. A variation of the London Underground on strike song! Awesome!
You guys are having way too much fun :) Merry Christmas!
Londonist looks like a great company to work for. I've been following Geoff's mini chocolate tube map saga on Twitter. Have been wondering whether they'd make a big one!
Whimsical.
First time ever someone would be happy about Crossrail not opening yet
Yeah,Great Job!
I have to say what a fantastic video!!
It is a big achievement to create the tube map from 42 boxes of chocolate!!
Well done Geoff
I want this to be public art on the Tube or DLR
chocolate and the tube... my two fave things! loving your recreation
Geoff Marshall's awesome!!! 👻👻👻
+the phoenix 315 Thanks we'll let him know!
+the phoenix 315 YEAH!!!!

I was eating some overground while watching this.
Realy nice!
What a way to say thank you, London.
Now do it again with the trams
Fantastic video Geoff. Definitely feeling some chocolate cravings now! :D
Big fan of the channel Geoff. Also great idea to do the tube map using quality streets.
Great idea and so well executed :-) Fantastic :-)
going underground... clever 😂😂
I am speechless. That was lovely. Incredible map created out of chocolates. Hope everyone brushed afterwards.
That was cool! Have a super Christmas!
You guys are just too creative!
do it again but add 4 extra blue choclates to represent the arrows on the heathrow loop. don't forget to add the battersea extension!
this is my favorite UA-cam video
DLR! DLR! We haven’t done the DLR yet!
Chocolate Cross, Toffee Court Road, Nougat Hill Gate, and so on.....
You forgot the Northern line!
FirelightRose rip
It looks like they used Circle Line chocolates to do the Northern Line.
They used the yellow toffee finger for the northern line
A thing of beauty
Sweet!
brilliant!
Mhhhmmn. The central line looking super yummy that day.
Great video, I'm on my 8th tin of Quality Streets since October!
My favourite in terms of chocolate is Overground Cheshunt/Enfield/Chingford and the DLE
DLR
you are very inventive.
Merry Xmas!
How sweet :-)
Wow! I didnt know you did TFL Rail and the Romford - Upminister Branch! Its such a nice video!
UpMINster not UpMINIster!
This is super cool! I'm working on a project to map all the journeys I'm taking over a year on a giant tube map, and this has made me super excited for it!
how was it?
Hi Geoff, this is a brilliant video. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year. Your videos are brilliant. Best wishes, Andrew
A quality map, streets ahead of its time, but was there any sweet leftovers
Thanks to Geoff I now need to take my addicted son to a London underground 'experience '... but seriously my son loves this channel. please keep it up!!
Finally I found this damn video again it took SOOOO long to find this vid
Impressive
Could you do the tube map in Minecraft? Or any game that has a sandbox with multiple colours?
For a slightly added challenge, try doing it in only a 132x132 area (the area a map typically covers) so that you can get it up on a map-sign!
Do you really think these middle aged people are gonna be playing Minecraft? No

There is a new way of measuring train lines: chocolates. 1:12
The blue is for the Piccadilly Line
this made me pop and go awww
Now I want some quality street
I didn't know the tube stopped at Quality Street
NOW TUBE BECAME CHOCOLATE!?!
This is amazing as well as artistic. Maybe if you do it next time you could use the Lindt assortment chocolates as they have black- and grey-wrapped chocs (could get very expensive, though). 👍🏾
Should have done it on poster paper and glued them to make some nice artwork, someone would buy it
Nice chocolate 🍫
goof marshall another challenge you need to eat the choclate in less then 9 seconds
I love Quality Street
Wow
CaN U rEmAkE tHe TuBe MaP WiTh ChOcCaLeTe
cool video
This is fun! Great idea and well done, all of you.
And Geoff looked nice as Mr. H&C ;)
What happened after that? A big chocolate and fudge party? "I think, I will try Kensington Olympia now after that delicious Goodge Street...."?
I can do big tube maps because I’m good at them
Someone should do Toronto's subway map in chocolates. It would take four or five minutes.
This is very funny. But I like it
GREAT giggle just one point the little town in Hertfordshire at the end of the overground is pronounced Ches - unt. MERRY CHRISTMAS and keep up the good work. loved the april fool on the cable car. A guy in the pub tried to convince me just last week that it ran from ally pally to crystal palace. please do one next year.
I thought they meant life size at first, but no. I think they should do that.
Olympia on the District line
London underground song lol
I'd eat the Central Line.
I would eat the district
Can you do one of the Budapest Metro?
How the multi coloured blazes did you come up with this? It's truly amazing! The logistics must have been fun too, and required wills of steel.
Did you eat the chocolate used in that map
I think to make 1 to because I live in London
I hope TfL get a kick out of this too. :)
This video gave me diabetes just by watching it. Good Lord, that's a lot of chocolates.
Very good. Although it would've been easier to get a huge printout of the map and lay the chocs on top. Ha
Go to Edmonton green staition it was least used in Enfield
Did you consider using the sweets unwrapped for the Northern Line?
Great video, Geoff is a legend.
+KEITHMU We did! But the hot lights of the studio might have then started to melt the surface of the chocolate a little ..?
Can you make a new one with the trams?
I want to work at The Londonist for free!!!
Geoff ate the circle line!!! 😳
These are 2 for £6 in Tesco tomorrow 16th december
Everyone knows that the central line tastes best!
I thought that the emirates cable car was the shortest items of number of quality streets
I would love to do this lol
Goffs go for it )
Is Geoff dressed up as The Hammersmith and Cit line
This must've been hell... We have about 70 stations here and it took about 20-40 chocolates. (I shrinked it a bit, lol)
I worked out there was exactly 1,797 chocolates spare after using 1,563
