The town of Olten, Switzerland had a chocolate snowfall last week, an event that might be thought possible only in a Willie Wonka movie.
But Olten’s event was real, if accidental. A malfunction in a cooling system at a nearby Lindt chocolate factory that was producing chocolate nibs resulted in a fine powder of chocolate shavings being deposited for several blocks around by brisk winds.
Although the company quickly offered to pay for any necessary cleanup, it was reported that no one had taken them up on the offer.
