Title: Chocolate Lovers Take Note Post by: Soldier4Christ on August 19, 2006, 02:46:22 PM US man survives chocolate ordeal
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. "It was pretty thick. It was virtually like quicksand," Captain Berner said. "It's the first time I've ever heard of anything like this," he added. The worker said his ankles were sore after the incident, and he was taken to a local hospital where he is recovering. The accident involved dark chocolate. _______________________________ I seriously hope they don't finish processing it. :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o Title: Re: Chocolate Lovers Take Note Post by: Shammu on August 19, 2006, 03:15:47 PM I seriously hope they don't finish processing it. :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o Well "Chocolate Lovers" looks like it is time to buy peppermint now.............. ;D ;D On another note, I'm glad to hear that the guy is okay.
