Oh, this is classic.
A 21-year-old US man ended up in hospital after spending two hours trapped in a vat of chocolate, police in Wisconsin said on Friday.
The man said he had climbed into the tank before becoming trapped waist-deep in chocolate, police chief Randy Berner told AP news agency.
However, other reports suggest he was stirring the chocolate when he fell in.
Rescue workers and staff at the Debelis Corporation used cocoa-butter to thin out the chocolate and pull him free.
I just love the notion that cocoa-butter came to the rescue. And here's how the article ends: "The accident involved dark chocolate." That made me chuckle. Normally accidents involve a car barreling down the highway at breakneck speeds or a cable snapping, but no. This one involved dark chocolate. Precious dark chocolate...mmm...There are worse ways to go, I suppose, than death by chocolate.
