A man said it was nightmare having chocolate in his ears, hair and mouth after falling into a 70 gallon vat of liquid chocolate Friday.

21-year-old Donovan Garcia said he was pushing chocolate into a vat at Debelis Corp. after it became stuck and fell in.

Garcia said, "I felt like I weighed 900 pounds. I couldn't move."

Fellow employees, police and firefighters had to thin the chocolate with cocoa butter to get Garcia free of the bubbling hot, 110 degree chocolate because it was too thick to pull him out. It took two hours to free him.

Police Capt. Randy Berner said, "It was pretty thick. It was virtually like quicksand."

Garcia was treated for minor injuries and has been released from the hospital.
