I read in the paper today about an incident that happened in Kenosha, Wisconsin this past week. We used to live in Kenosha so I can believe this happening. They have a plant there that processes chocolate to sell to candy makers. It seems a workman was trying to get some chocolate to slide down a chute into a vat where it was being melted. It broke loose suddenly and slid down the chute into the vat, taking the workman with it. As the chocolate was at 110F, he was not seriously burned, but they had to add more butterfat so they could pull him out, as the chocolate was quite thick. Apparently he survived the ordeal. One wonders if he yelled "FIRE" when he fell into the chocolate, because obviously no one would save him if he yelled"CHOCOLATE". That line courtesy of the Smothers Brothers song "Chocolate". dr

Now if that had been a chocoholic that went down the chute there wouldn't have been a problem 'cause the choccie vat would have been empty before they were rescued!!

Gives new meaning to the phrase 'death by chocolate'. I bet that guy won't be able to eat another bar ever again.
