Man dies after fall into vat of chocolate
A man died after he fell into a vat of melted chocolate in a New Jersey processing plant.
The accident happened yesterday as 29-year-old Vincent Smith, a temporary worker at the Cocoa Services plant, was loading chocolate into a vat where it is melted and mixed before being shipped elsewhere to be made into sweets.
A co-worker tried to shut off the machine and two others tried to pull Mr Smith out of the 8ft-deep vat.
He was hit and fatally injured by the agitator that mixes the chocolate.
This story clearly has no international relevance, so its inclusion by BN suggests that it’s being distributed as one of those humorous ‘and finally’ stories that are often used to fill space. How hilarious. The man suffered an unimaginably frightening and horrific end, but it involved chocolate, so it must be funny.

The one-liners that could come of this are gonna be awful.
I’m resisting the urge right now.
Did they decide to sell the chocolate on anyways? Normally reports like that end with a assurances from the company that they didn’t.
They probably had to, times are tough and all..
Spare a thought for the man who was steamed to death while cleaning a giant soup cauldron last May. [link]
Fuck, that’s awful… Poor bastard.
