Sad. Just sad.
At least Dung_Beetle got it. Are we all that old now?
After further investigation, it was discovered that it was an employee of the Hershey Corporation who pushed the visitors into the vat. When questioned by the confectionary police, the employee said the two individuals asked him to make them a chocolate bar. So he did.
Did they at least get to lick themselves clean. I make a batch of chocolate truffles every couple weeks and one benefit is that I get to lick my fingers afterward.
I think it was really a fight over a treasure map disguised as a model sailing ship.
Article doesn’t mention if he went in head first or feet first, nor which half of him they recovered.
How hot is molten chocolate? Like, if you fall in the vat, do you get 1st degree burns from head to foot, or 2nd degree, or whatever?
Maybe you just get super sweetness, but it has a permanent effect on you?
It depends on a lot of factors. Chocolate has a complicated phase diagram:
As you can see, it could be liquid at as low as 15 C before crystallizing in the alpha phase.
Can I be your friend? *bats eyelashes *
Or was it that they basically recovered organic material equal to half of a person?
On the topic of industrial accidents, the Loose Units podcast (and one of its associated books) discussed an accident at an Australian Kellogg’s plant in which a young apprentice was working in a pressure vessel used in the manufacture of Rice Bubbles, but someone had failed to properly lock out/tag out the steam lines.
One of the pair might have been a magician. They found some Twix up his sleeve.
Some times you feel like a nut
Sometimes you don’t.
I hear they’re suing for 100 grand.
Sue for 100 grand, settle for some kisses.
I don’t think Hari wants bats eyelashes in his truffles.
Who’s suing for 100 grand? The guys who fell in the molten candy, or they guy who fell in the molten iron? Did the chocolate-coated guys get injured?
That was a Whatchamacallit…a whoosh.
Oh, good to know. I was thinking of jumping into a vat of chocolate myself. So I guess it’s actually okay to do.
Sounds tastier than crunchy frog.
No, not Hershey please. If I have to land in a vat of chocolate, that would be the last choice for me. I want good chocolate. IMO, of course.
