A 21-year-old man was trapped in a tank of chocolate for about two hours early Friday, police said.
Capt. Randy Berner said the worker said he got into the tank at the Debelis Corp. to unplug it and became trapped waist deep in the chocolate.
"It was pretty thick. It was virtually like quicksand," Berner said, and co-workers, police and firefighters were not able to get him out until the chocolate could be thinned out.
"It's the first time I've ever heard of anything like this," the police captain said.
The worker said his ankles were sore after the incident, and he was taken to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries, Berner said.
I thought I was the only person on earth who had one of those.
All he had to do was eat his way out! Hahahaha!
Actually, it was a vat of Guinnes, and the poor fellow had to climb out three times to use the bathroom before he finally drowned.
My thoughts too:')
My thought exactly. I hope he wore a wet suit or something for that job...
I don't have one....my mom used to sing that to my sister and I to make us laugh.
If you notice an odd taste in your next chocolate bar...
"I yelled Fire, because no one would come to rescue me if i yelled 'chocolate.'"
That was a funny song.
Sounds like a Ray Nagin baptistry for returning NO residents.

I love you two, you both had the SAME exact thought I did when I first saw the thread. :) I thought "Hmmm, reminds me of that Smothers Brother's set. :)
A classic.
