Brad Wolfe, communications supervisor for Lancaster County 911 Dispatch, told CNN that firefighters had to “cut a hole in the side of the tank to get them out.”
A spokesperson for Mars Wrigley, which makes M&M’s, Snickers and other candies, confirmed in a statement Friday to The Washington Post that the workers were taken off-site for evaluation.
It is still unclear how the workers got stuck in the tank and how much chocolate was in it at the time.

Beat me to it. Such funny stuff.
I yelled fire when I fell into the chocolate indeed.
Maeve O’Leary is home making dinner as usual, when Tom Casey arrives at her door. “Maeve, can I come in?” says he. “I’ve somethin’ I must tell ya.”
“Of course you can come in. You’re always welcome here, Tom. But where’s that husband of mine?”
“That’s what I’ve come to be tellin’ ya, lass. Im afraid there’s been an accident down at the Guinness brewery.”
“Oh, God no!” cries Maeve. “Please say it’s not so.”
“I can’t, Maeve. Your husband Fergus is dead and gone. I’m that sorry, love.”
“Oh, but how did it happen, Tom?”
“It was terrible, Maeve, terrible. He fell right into a vat of the Guinness Stout and was drowned.”
“Oh my dear lord in heaven!! But tell me, Tom, did he at least go quickly?”
“Well, no Maeve, no. I can’t well say that.”
“No?”
“The truth is, he got out three times to pee.”
I read the newspaper headline and immediately started humming the Smothers Brothers song. Thank you!
What a way to go. Death by chocolate. Death by 1,000 slurps.
Rumor has it that their pay was docked for the time spent in the vat and for the amount of chocolate estimated that they swallowed, dripped on the floor and stole in the pockets of their clothes.
4 words Lock out, tag out
I think that reminds me of original Charlie & Chocolate Factory.
Note to self: No M&Ms for a while.
My old tagline, before America went all Apocalyptic. ;)
