The chocolate bar doesn't start a violent fire if pierced. If it would we could power our laptops with chocolate :)

The flour conditions of exploding are far more difficult to achieve than a LiIon battery conditions - orders of magnitude difference.

Neither does a NiMH battery. There's no link between vulnerability to external damage and ability to power a laptop.

In fact, there's no fundamental reason why we couldn't run our laptop on chocolate[1], just that it's very far away from current technology.

I read Lion battery (lion as in the chocolate bar) and couldn't help but find it hilarious

It’s just that modern laptops run on Li-ion batteries.

True, but not that hard. I had some “dangerous experiments for kids” book back in the day and by far the most fun thing in it was aerosolizing flour with a straw to get the right mixture near your Bunsen burner for your own glorious short lived fireball.

In a world, somewhere, Flowers and Lions power laptops.
