Ben bases his entire country, ‘Continentilia’, on a brand of chocolates

Ben muses to himself that he could create “like a country that’s just continental”, which reminds him of Continental-brand chocolates, which he then wonders whether they still exist.

Ben invents the country “Continentilia”. Paul confirms with him that the name is based on Continental chocolates, which he believes have been discontinued.

Ben is wearing a top hat, dark glasses, and a bow tie, and is holding a cane, as he strolls in front of a green screen which is showing images of a chocolate landscape.

Welcoming viewers to Continentilia (which he describes as “an entire continent country land”), he introduces himself as the Prime Minister, “Willy Winker”. He goes on the say that the country is based on the chocolates that parents like, and that some people think they have been discontinued, adding “Not true, Paul. Not true.”

Willy Winker shows the viewers around his country, including the “Hazelnut Mountains” (which he says “you have to be nuts to climb”), the “Great Dessert Desert” (where there is no water, but there is delicious milk chocolate), the “Milk Swirl Geyser”, and the “Ancient Praline Pyramids” (about which he notes that nobody actually knows what praline is).

Willy Winker claims that there are no dangers in Continentilia, except for diabetes.

In the studio, when Jeremy asks Ben what happens in Continentilia if you’re allergic to chocolate, Ben suggests that “You go to Fanny Land, or whatever” (referencing Hayley’s country of Majoraland).

Jeremy states that he wouldn’t like to visit Continentilia, so Ben earns just 2 points.
