Sweet! Ahem.... No pun intended
When I saw the headline I thought for sure it was in Burlington at the Nestle factory. Opening up the story I was surprised to learn it was in my hometown of Kenosha. Kenosha on Newsvine -- sweet! [shout-out to K-Town]

They should make a gummy-chocolate Jesus, so communion can actually be worthwhile.

Am I the only one wondering what they would have done with the chocolate had he gotten out? Were they going to sell it, meaning that a bunch of people would eat chocolate some guy had walked through. I gotta say, that's pretty gross.

#6 - Fri Aug 18, 2006 12:00 PM EDTIt said in the article they thinned it out, so I doubt the chocolate would be any good anymore. However since he got into the tank to unplug it, it sounds like a common occurance? So maybe people do crawl around in our chocolate. Hopefully they have some kind of protection though... like a thin candy shell.

Sean Balsiger that was my exact thought when I read this article, they act like it's totally normal for a guy to be walking around in our chocolate.. I'm feeling less like eating my m&ms today...

Well, I really doubt that it has that much of an effect on it. I'm sure that he was wearing a protective suit or something. I mean do any of you guys send mail at all? The glue on envelopes has been known to house cockroach eggs, and dead rats have been found in the vats. It's just a matter of what you're willing to accept. Since I haven't heard of any epidemics spread by dirty guys bathing in the chocolate vats I'm not too worried about my chocolate supply.

#10 - Fri Aug 18, 2006 3:33 PM EDTBeing a strolling licksnack for children's parties naturally leads to being flypaper for lawsuits.
(Though "Strolling Licksnack" would be a great name for a rock band)

To whomever is interested in the cleaniness of your chocolate: The average bar has eight insect legs.

Twizzlers sure as heck don't got enough.

Tom & Dick "Smother's Brothers" were way ahead of this story in the '60's !
Their song lyrics:
I fell in a vat of Chocolate.
Whatd' you do when you fell into the chocolate?
I yelled 'FIRE' when I fell in the chocolate, 'cause no one whould save me if I yelled 'CHOCOLATE'.
(Tommy and Dick please excuse the abrreviated version of your song. My sister, Ruth and I still remimber it correct word-forword to this day.)

Surely they meant "wrapped." Wrapped in delicious, silky, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate! Chocolate of the Gods! Chocolate used to make our favourite candy bars across the country! Wrapped in heaven!
And then...covered in beeeeees!
