  • 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.

    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.

    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
