Worker trapped in chocolate: I thought I was going to die
August 19, 2006 (KENOSHA, Wis.) - A 21-year-old man who was trapped in a vat of piping hot chocolate says he thought he was going to die.
Darmin Garcia was almost chest-deep in the viscous chocolate for more than two hours early yesterday.
He works for a Kenosha company that supplies chocolate ingredients.
He says he got stuck when he was pushing the chocolate down into the vat at Debelis Corporation because it was stuck. Then it got loose and he slid into the hopper.
Garcia has worked at the company for nearly two years. He says he was scared and feared for his life.
He was retrieved and taken for treatment of minor injuries at a nearby hospital.
Garcia said he used to like chocolate but after this ordeal, he's not so sure.

The Link!
There actually have been people who died by falling into a chocolate vat. I guess this guy is lucky the vat wasn't deeper or maybe the chocolate was too dense making him boyant enough to float. The story doesn't really say.
