It’s the largest natural spa on earth – the Dead Sea. You’ve all heard of it, you may have even bought Ahava products here in the U.S. and spread the mineral-rich mud on your skin. If you’ve been to Israel, you might have taken a dip in the Dead Sea’s naturally buoyant water, and if not you can watch Japanese sumo wrestlers doing so here.

I thought I knew pretty much everything the Dead Sea had to offer. But after taking a look at the back page of Israel’s daily Yediot Aharonot yesterday, I saw I was wrong. Set with a background picture of bikini-clad, mud-covered girls, this story by Zvi Alush appeared:

“For all of you lovers of Dead Sea mud, who relish the therapeutic characteristics of the black salve but love the smell somewhat less:

In the spa of the Caesar Premier Dead Sea Resort & Spa Hotel an aromatic and even tasty solution has been found for the troubles of spa-goers: chocolate-flavored mud. You mix the Dead Sea mud with chocolate spread and apply it to your skin. The results are good, and if you want you can even take a taste.”

While I’m sure there are plenty out there who wouldn’t mind helping the girls pictured with that particular task, I’m not sure I’m quite ready to take a taste of the mud, even if it is chocolate flavored…
