Firefighters Rescue M&M’s Factory Workers Who Got Stuck in a Giant Vat of Chocolate – Opinion

For some, it’s probably how they’d want to go. But for a pair of candy factory workers in Pennsylvania, a recent sticky situation wasn’t going to keep them down. And now they’ve fought to see another day beyond their sweet yet swampish swim in a tank of treachery.

On Thursday, the employees were grinding away at Elizabethtown’s Mars Wrigley factory.

For the unfamiliar, a few of the company’s confections:

• Snickers
• American Heritage Chocolate
• Twix
• MilkyWay
• Mars
• M&M’s
• Dove chocolate
• 3Musketeers

The duo were seen grazing an enormous vat’s edge at 1:51 p.m. They both fell in, for reasons that are still not clear.

Dreamy, creamy chocolate was the contents of this enormous container. And yet, a nightmare took hold: Though the glossy goop was only waist-high, the coworkers’ high-calorie captor wouldn’t let them leave. The colossal chocolate basin was too big for them to leave, no matter what they did.

There were likely to be questions: If they had to stay up all night, what would happen? Can they remain awake long enough to live? Which tragic fate would strike first — drowning, or diabetes?

It was a good thing that help was on the way.

Lancaster Online has it laid out:

More than two dozen emergency personnel were dispatched to the scene shortly before 2 p.m….

The fire crews determined that there wasn’t a way to rescue them from their porridge-like pools.

Perhaps the chocolate was too thick; if so, melting it wasn’t on the menu: As we all know, such can only occur in a mouth.

First responders M(editated) & M(ulled).

According to dispatch reports, rescue units made a cut at the bottom to release the workers.

Dispatch stated while the two individuals were “not floating around” in a vat of chocolate, officers had trouble getting them out.

The firefighters were still present at the scene as of 2:30 p.m. At 3:10, the first rescuer was removed. The second was extracted at 3:10.

According to Assistant Supervisor Nick Schoenberger of Lancaster County 911 Dispatch, “One patient was transported by ground, and one person was transported by helicopter.”

ABC27 notes, “The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating this incident”

A Mars Wrigley spokesperson said they were managing the situation and are “extremely grateful for the quick work of the first responders.”

Officials from the Associated Press stated that they were both maintenance workers for an outside firm at the time.

It brings back April’s emergency.

Lady Drops Her Phone in an Outhouse, Tries to Retrieve It and Falls in — Says the Fire Department https://t.co/tzBYhjf5mI

This is what I covered at that time

She reached in head-first…

In the words of Brinnon Fire Department Chief Tim Manly, that “didn’t work very well, and in she went.”

The hapless hiker was unable to get out of its stew for at least 10-15 minutes. She eventually realized that an appearance was impossible.

Despite being trapped, she had one good thing: her phone worked and was available.

She was then able to get help.

Respondents included both the Brinnon Fire Rescue and Quilcene Fire Rescue teams.

The two tragedies might have appeared somewhat similar without going into details. However, in certain sensory aspects, the two tragedies differed wildly.

Mars does make Juicy Fruit. The outhouse lady likely was consuming the juicy fruit.

Congratulations to everyone involved for getting back to Pennsylvania

The workers were swimming for two hours, and everyone is aware that peeing in pools can be quite common. Did the chocolate get drained, and was it cleaned with cleaner afterward? It’s a point to ponder the next time you bite into a candy bar.
