Man trapped waist-deep in chocolate

KENOSHA, Wis. - It might sound like a chocoholic's dream, but stepping into a vat of viscous chocolate became a two-hour nightmare for a 21-year-old man Friday morning.

Darmin Garcia, an employee of a company that supplies chocolate ingredients, said he was pushing the chocolate down into the vat at Debelis Corp. because it was stuck. But it became loose 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."

The chocolate was 110 degrees, hotter than a hot tub, said Capt. Greg Sinnen of the Kenosha Fire Department.

Co-workers, police and firefighters tried to free the man but couldn't get him loose until the chocolate was thinned out with cocoa butter.

"It was pretty thick. It was virtually like quicksand," said police Capt. Randy Berner.

Garcia was treated for minor injuries and released.

After more than two hours in the chocolate, does he still have a taste for it?

"Not so much anymore," Garcia said.

I wonder what they would do with all the chocolate. I know they couldnt sell it but could the guy have taken the whole thing home and gave it to his wive and kids? Lol this is the stuff I dreamed about after I saw Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory lol. I envy this man Even if it was 110 degrees.

What are you talking about "they couldn't sell it"? I am pretty sure I ate this man's chocolate waste when I got a bar from the vending machine at school today. :p

This is the kind of therapy they need to give to gluttons and chocoholics.

Nice find, Cylon.
