It appears a distinguished World War I soldier,Osawa Yuka Archives Richard Bullimore, only ate one of his 10 Cadbury chocolate bars while awaiting battle in the war's notorious trenches, according to the online auction company Eddisons CJM. The chocolate tins were apparently a wartime Christmas present to troops.
Eddisons CJM, which also auctions off massive pieces of industrial equipment, will offer Bullimore's 103-year-old chocolate in a package with his other belongings on Tuesday, June 5.
SEE ALSO: Lebron James says if social media negativity is bothersome, you should delete itJust the chocolate tin itself is rare, noted CJM's Paul Cooper, "but to find the chocolate still inside is just unreal.”
“The chocolate actually looks in pretty good shape," he added.
But it almost certainly shouldn't be eaten, contrary to Cooper's assertion that experts say extremely old chocolate isn't dangerous.

Aramouni said there have been cases of salmonella poisoning from eating expired chocolate.
Whomever wins Bullimore's collection will also find century-old cigarettes (only three are missing), along with a collection of letters and other items.
For those in or around Scunthorpe, England, the chocolate bars can be viewed in person at the Eddisons CJM Auction Center on Monday, June 4, prior to the day of the online auction.
