That's a lot of security theater to protect $10-worth of chocolate-like substance.

So the company did suffer one theft, and they turned it into a marketing stunt. Look at how delicious our product is. We have to guard the fuck out of it. They’re not even being coy about it. It’s very openly a marketing stunt. Meanwhile people are lining up here to say “I bet it’s just a marketing stunt!”

Congrats everyone - you win the bet.
