maybe he was imitating Augustus Gloop. those children's books are such a bad influence :shock: 
How odd that they thought to add "The incident involved dark chocolate". Like, if it had been milk, he would have eaten his way free but he wasn't especially fond of dark.
It's like that old tale... A woman gets a phone call from the brewery where her husband works.
"I am afraid your husband fell into a vat of bitter and drowned earlier".
"Was it quick?" she says between sobs.
"Well... He got out to go to the toilet three times."
Laugh... The tears rolled down my leg :lol:

Somebody'll probably bite into a Twix and discover 'Allah' in Arabic script along the biscuit base.

American confectioners market a great deal of high-quality chocolate bars and confections. Although when you read the fine print on a package of top-end chocolate, you generally find that they're buying their chocolate from the Belgians!
The one mass-market American-made chocolate that's half-decent is Ghirardelli's; they make very decent dark chocolate bars; as good as run-of-the-mill European, at least. And yet you're more likely to find Ghirardelli bars stocked with the flour and other baking supplies than with the rest of the candy. Most Americans don't like dark chocolate. The fools...

This chocolate vat ordeal saved a woman's life.

A woman pulled alive from the aftermath of a Pennsylvania factory explosion which killed seven co-workers survived after falling into a vat of liquid chocolate.
Flames had engulfed the RM Palmer Co factory in West Reading and Patricia Borges’ arm when the floor collapsed, sending her into the chocolate and extinguishing the flames.
The 50-year-old, who broke her collarbone and both of her heels in the fall, was rescued from the rubble nine hours later.
