Answer 3

the scent of chocolate is usually kept fresher in aluminium foil, and it is also a cheap way to package it.

Answer 4

so you can make a silly foil hat, while you eat your chocolate!

Answer 5

I think it's because aluminium foils can be easily made(as Al is highly malleable),does not contaminate the chocolate,and being a self protecting metal prevents atmospheric air from coming in contact with the chocolate.

Answer 6

Reels of foil are delivered to the packaging converter for printing and slitting to the exact width required - anything from a large chocolate bar, down to individual chocolate width. Printed designs include those suitable for all sorts of novelty shapes such as Easter rabbits and eggs, and Christmas tree decorations, where foil's deadfold characteristic enables quite complex chocolate shapes to be covered accurately. The foil is often very thin - as little as 6 micron gauge - and the precision of the handling machinery is critical.

At the chocolate factory, the printed foil is fed from the parent reel, cut to length and laid on a conveyor bed. The moulded chocolate is dropped into the centre of the foil sheet, and folding arms wrap the item, before brushes smooth the foil into the contours. Chocolate bars will then have a paper wrapper applied, before the item is moved on for packing.

Answer 7

To keep it fresh and cool.  Chocolate would have a higher risk of melting before a consumer buys it if it was wrapped in plastic.
