KENOSHA, Wis. - A 21-year-old man was trapped in a tank of chocolate for about two hours early Friday, police said.
Capt. Randy Berner said the worker said he got into the tank at the Debelis Corp. to unplug it and became trapped waist deep in the chocolate.
"It was pretty thick. It was virtually like quicksand," Berner said, and co-workers, police and firefighters were not able to get him out until the chocolate could be thinned out.
"It's the first time I've ever heard of anything like this," the police captain said.
The worker said his ankles were sore after the incident, and he was taken to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries, Berner said.

I read about that! First thing I thought was "Augustus Gloop" from the 70s Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.

The whole deal of thinning the chocolate to get him out by adding cocoa butter was kinda curious.
About 5 years ago I a remarkably unusual view of a chocolate-covered fireman emerging from a semi-trailer that had caught fire. He was just coated with melted chocolate. Yes the truck caught fire at a chocolate factory (Blommer's). The smell near this building is always maddening and enticing, but the sight of a hunky firefighter, all lickably hot and chocolatey, well ... it was tough to concentrate on driving the rest of the day! *sighs and remembers* _____________________
