Nope, this isn't a scene from Charlie and The Chocolate Factory - it actually happened

You might remember Augustus Gloop, the ill-fated gluttonous youngster from the Rohl Dahl tale, who famously exits the show after falling into Willy Wonka's chocolate river.

Well, something strikingly similar has happened in the US, only with out all the eccentrics!

A chocolate factory has been fined over 13 thousand euro after two workers fell into a vat of chocolate.

The incident happened last summer at a Mars Wrigley plant in Pennsylvania in the U.S.

Emergency responders rushed to the scene and freed the workers by cutting a hole in the bottom of the tank.

Both workers were carrying out maintenance works and one had to be brought to hospital.
