All I could think of, of course, was this:

Also, if you’re going to fall in a vat of chocolate i Pennsylvania, it at least ought to be in Hershey.

According to the story, no injuries had been reported, and I hope it stays that way. Although I’d really like to know how this happened.

Several first responders were injured when the victims fought removal.

3

Were they covered in a thin candy shell for transport?

~VOW

4

How is there no Augustus Gloop reference yet?

6

But was the chocolate ok?

7

The article didn’t say - I have to assume they were tourists and not employees?

8

At leas they were rescued before being converted into chocolate products, unlike the unfortunates in “The Jungle” who fell into processing tanks and went out into the world as Durham’s Pure Leaf Lard.

9

May I assume that they did, indeed, yell “Fire!” when they fell into the chocolate?

10

Well, I’m glad they’re still breathing. I’d hate to hear all those ‘Death by Chocolate’ jokes.

11

Had they died, I’m sure the mourners would have said, “The funeral was delicious!”

They started to worry when one of them didn’t emerge from the vat after getting out to pee for the third time…

I Fell in a Vat of Chocolate

Sweet! :slight_smile:

14

Isn’t that one of the exceptions to the First Amendment? Wouldn’t want panicked people jumping into a vat of chocolate.

15

They were probably trying to fill a cup with chocolate. Leaned over too far.

Mommy there is a shoelace in my candy.:yum:

16

A chocolate covered eyeball! Is it Halloween?

~VOW

17

Chocolate covered nuts now has another meaning.

18

So does Peter Paul’s Mounds.

Especially if you consider Rubens.

One Payday, Mr. Goodbar wanted a Bit-O-Honey
So he took his Miss Hershey behind the Powerhouse
On the corner of 5th Avenue and Clark
Where he there began to feel her Mounds
And that was an Almond Joy
Which definitely made his Tootsie Roll
He let out a Snicker
As he slipped his Butterfinger up her Kit Kat
Which of course caused a Milky Way
She screamed “Oh Henry”
As she squeezed his Peter Paul and Zagnuts and said
“You’re better than the Three Musketeers”

Better than Steven Dierkes, who fell into a vat of molten iron at a Caterpiller plant; they recovered half of him.
