The two people who fell into a tank of chocolate at an Elizabethtown factory have been rescued.

WGAL reported that the two people who became trapped in the tank at an M&M/Mars factory were pulled out by emergency responders this afternoon.

Can't even muster a facetious joke on this. It would be beyond horrific, chocolate aside. hlthe2b Jun 2022 #1

I'm surprised they survived--at least as far as we know.

for sure Augustus Gloop or at least Willy Wonka would be mentioned, I thought he was kidding at first. Augustus Gloop's end was the most scary, because it was the most possible(extremely unlikely, yet more possible than the others) The movie came out 5 yes before I was born, so I watched it plenty in reruns and it was the first VCR tape we ever owned, I've probably seen it at least 50 times.
Poor guys, I hope they are ok.
