Upton Sinclair wrote a book about it. Anyone remember the passage in “The Jungle” about the workers who fell into the rendering vats?

I remember that. I also remember the story of the Irishman who drowned in a huge vat of whiskey. He fell in five times. His friends kept pulling him out, but damned if he didn’t keep falling in again.

On the bright side, the mortician didn’t need any embalming fluid for his body.
