Maybe the factory owner could sell the chocolates to Planned Parenthood and human embryo research proponent Michael J. Fox, who could give them away to big donors.

Thanks, S&A!
Poor bugger...probably yelled, CHOCOLATE!", and then wondered why no one came to rescue him.

No mam, he did not suffer. In fact he got out twice. Once to go to the bathroom and once for a jar of peanut butter. Yes it was JIF.

Important safety tip, that.

Hmmm...if they’re that worried about contamination, why use an open vat?
To: Mr. Silverback
Terry Pratchett’s “Thief of Time”. A character commits suicide by chocolate. (It also turns out to be a potent weapon against extradimensional invaders.)
To: Slings and Arrows
To be honest, I'm extrapolating from a visit to a cosmetics factory. They had huge open vats of lotions and makeup, and as we walked along the catwalks (kitty ping?) between them we were warned not to "dip" because they would have to dump the whole vat. We're talking 5000 gallon vats here.
So I assumed that since the chocolate is to be eaten, the rules about contamination would be at least as strict as for skin-care products. I may be wrong (but it would of course be the very first time in my life) [rolls eyes heavenward], but I'm pretty sure that if someone were to die in there, they'd have to take drastic measures with the chocolate and the cleaning of the tank itself, and also that they're probably insured.

My Dad always said they never used the steel if someone fell in. I know there would be nothing left, it was just done outta respect. Hoffas prolly in the concrete at the bottom of a river...lol
Yes, Go Pat Go!!!! I wish he would advise Sarah. No one knows history better.

I never heard that about not using the steel, but I believe you.
The stories I heard were a bit more sinister... something about the bookies tossing the body into an open hearth or coke oven so nobody would find the evidence. And of course, that steel would get used.
Of course, those were only stories and nobody ever named somebody it actually happened to. But the stories sound like something that could probably have happened.
But I'm sure your Dad's story is probably true too. Accidents happened in the mills all the time. And I'm sure they did what little they could to show respect for their lost coworkers.

I agree that they are supposed to do that. However, I know of numerous situations when they take it to the back or other room , and bring it back out as replaced.. Unfortunately.

I hope I didn’t touch on some aspect of your psyche best left unexplored.

I hope I didn’t touch on some aspect of your psyche best left unexplored. The desire to be fawned on by many beautiful women, what else?
Cheers!
