Rich, Creamy Ordeal

A 21 year old employee of Debells Corp, a chocolate concern, fell into a vat of viscous chocolate and underwent a two-hour nightmare last Friday. Darmin Garcia said he was pushing the chocolate down into the vat because it was stuck, when it loosened unexpectedly and he slid into the hopper.

"It was in my hair, in my ears, my mouth, everywhere," said Garcia, who has worked at the company for two years. "I felt like I weighed 900 pounds. I couldn't move."

Police and firefighters tried to free him but couldn't get him loose until the chocolate was thinned out with cocoa butter. Garcia was pronounced delicious, treated for minor injuries and released.
