Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe

SCP-XXXX, unwrapped.

Special Containment Procedures:
All instances of SCP-XXXX are kept in an airtight refrigerated case fitted with a key-coded lock. This case is kept in a hermetically sealed containment chamber, outfitted with an airlock. The airlock and case are inspected by maintenance crews every week. At least one (1) armed security guard is stationed outside of the cell at all times. Security cameras have been placed inside and outside the cell to monitor personnel activity. Testing is to be conducted in a hermetically sealed observation chamber. In the event of a containment breach, gas masks have been placed on the inside and outside of the containment chamber. Any individuals that have consumed SCP-XXXX instances are to be removed by personnel in hazmat suits via hermetically sealed body bags and incinerated.

Description:
SCP-XXXX is a set of forty-seven (47) individual chocolate bars. Each bar is 15.24 cm. long and 5.08 cm. wide, with a thickness of 4 mm. The bars are wrapped in silver foil and bear the label, "█████ Candies Scented Chocolate Bars!" A secondary line of text reads, "Once you smell 'em, you can't resist 'em!" The label lacks a nutrition facts chart or any information regarding the whereabouts of its manufacturer or distributor. The chemical composition of SCP-XXXX is identical to standard milk chocolate, with the notable exception of [REDACTED].
When unwrapped, SCP-XXXX instances produce large amounts of an anomalous airborne compound. The odor of the compound varies from individual to individual, but all universally report an odor which evokes a pleasurable or nostalgic response. Olfaction of the compound triggers a compulsion to consume SCP-XXXX among 100% of individuals who detect it; violent reactions have been observed among individuals who are denied access to SCP-XXXX. Even a trace amount of this compound is enough to trigger a reaction.¹ The taste and texture of SCP-XXXX has been universally described as milk chocolate of the highest quality.
Upon consumption of an SCP-XXXX instance, individuals (hereafter referred to as subjects) report a feeling of extreme satisfaction for an average of five (5) minutes. After seven (7) minutes, subjects report extreme internal discomfort, centering on the mid-abdomen. After eight (8) minutes, subjects will begin to convulse. [DATA EXPUNGED.]²

Addendum-01:
On █/█/█7, reports of an anomalous chemical spill at the █████ Candies factory alerted embedded Foundation agents to the existence of SCP-XXXX. [DATA EXPUNGED.] A raid on a █████ Candies warehouse on █/██/█7 by Foundation forces resulted in all fifty-two (52) original SCP-XXXX instances being secured by the Foundation with no casualties.

Addendum-02:
Recent evidence acquired during Operation ███ ███████ shows that the [REDACTED] chemicals found in SCP-XXXX was originally intended for use as a chemical weapon by the █████ █████. A Foundation investigation into the activities of █████ █████, as well as the origin and possible existence of more [REDACTED] chemicals is underway.

Experiment 01 - 7/14/17, 09:00 AM.

Research Personnel: Dr. Vindas, Junior Researcher Carter
Subject: D-125683, 25-year-old Asian male
Purpose: In order to effectively contain SCP-XXXX, it is necessary to understand its anomalous effects. Although reports from Recovery Team Leader ██████ have provided a baseline understanding, we do not yet know what the anomaly does once it enters the human body. Thus, a D-class will be exposed to SCP-XXXX directly. — Dr. Vindas
Procedure: D-125683 was instructed to unwrap and eat a single instance of SCP-XXXX.
Result: See Transcript-XXXX-T-1.
Analysis: Well that was… profoundly disturbing, and revealing. I am eternally thankful to Recovery Team Leader ██████- if she hadn't suggested wearing full protective gear around the objects, I fear much worse would have occurred. As it is, I can now write a containment recommendation for Site Director █████████. All in all, a successful test. — Dr. Vindas

Beginning log…

<Dr. Vindas's face fills the screen as he fiddles with the camera.>

Dr. Vindas: Ah, there we are. <He steps back, revealing the rest of the observation chamber, and straightens his necktie. Behind him stands Junior Researcher Carter, putting on the last of her biochemical protective gear.>

Junior Researcher Carter: All set, doctor.

Dr. Vindas: Good. <He clears his throat.> I am Dr. █████ Vindas, Senior Researcher at Site-██, and this is my assistant, Junior Researcher ███████ Carter. The date is July fourteenth, twenty-seventeen, and this is the first test of SCP-XXXX. Our objective this morning is to determine the exact effects of SCP-XXXX on the human body when ingested. Although Recovery Team Leader ██████'s reports are comprehensive, they are incomplete, as the sole affected member of the recovery team was tranquilized by his comrades and thus was prevented from consuming any SCP-XXXX instances. As such data is necessary for the effective containment of SCP-XXXX, Site-Director █████████ has given permission for direct testing upon a D-Class personnel, with which we shall now proceed. Carter, if you would be so kind as to press that button on your left?

<The camera feed changes to a view of the test chamber. Within are a small table and a single chair. A moment later, Junior Researcher Carter enters the chamber, carrying a hermetically sealed case. Upon reaching the table, she opens the case and carefully places a single unwrapped SCP-XXXX instance in the center of the table, then exits the chamber.>

Dr. Vindas: Thank you, Carter. Over intercom: Security, would you escort the subject in please?

<The door to the chamber opens. A pair of security officers, also in biochemical protective gear, enter, escorting D-125683, who is not wearing protective gear. After sitting him down at the table, the security officers exit the chamber. D-125683 looks visibly nervous.>

Dr. Vindas: Good morning, D-125683. How are you today?

D-125683: Fine, thanks. <The subject glances back at the door.> What was with the hazmats? I'm not gonna get infected with any weird shit, am I?

Dr. Vindas: No. The suits were simply a precaution. On the table in front of you is a bar of chocolate. Could you describe it, please?

D-125683: Uh, sure. <The subject picks up SCP-XXXX and examines it.> '█████ Candies Scented Chocolate Bars. Once you smell 'em, you can't resist em.' <The subject scoffs.> What kind of bargain brand shit is this? Muttering: Huh, no nutrition facts.

Dr. Vindas: Thank you, D-125683. Could you unwrap the bar?

D-125683: Sure. <The subject slowly unwraps SCP-XXXX.> Wow. That smells great. <The subject proceeds to quickly consume SCP-XXXX, leaving only the wrapping behind.>

Dr. Vindas: How was it?

D-125683: Fantastic. <The subject laughs.> Really good. I think that's the best damn bar of chocolate I've ever had in my entire life. Rich, creamy—my compliments to the chef. You got any more of those, doc?

Dr. Vindas: Perhaps later, D-125683. How do you feel?

D-125683: Great. That really hit the spot.

Dr. Vindas: I'm glad to hear that. We're going to observe you now, just for a little while. Sit back and relax, and let me know if anything changes.

D-125683: Fine by me, doc.
