Worker dies in vat of melted chocolate
Camden, NJ

Authorities say a man died after falling into a vat of melted chocolate
in a New Jersey processing plant.

The victim...was loading chocolate into a melting and mixing vat at
Cocoa Services, Inc., which ships the chocolate elsewhere to be made nto
candy.

(Now for the bad part) A spokesman said (the victim) was hit and
fatally injured by the agitator that mixes the chocolate.

Reminds me of the story about the brewmaster at a large brewery. He
drowned in a beer vat. When OSHA investigated the investigator asked how
long it took him to drown.

His assistant answered: "Quite a while, he got out twice to go to the
bathroom."

That sounds like something from that weird "Strange Brew" movie
from years ago.

I know this is bad, but I keep envisioning that chocolate guy from the
