"Damage is estimated at €100,000 -- not counting the psychological harm
caused by the impending chocolate shortage in the German capital".

A day without a chocolate, is like a day without a sun.

A day without a chocolate, is like a day without a sun.

absolutely. fortunately i stocked up on chocolate last week so i'm not affected by the psychological trauma that has hit my city as a result of this accident!

Willy Wonka would have approved. In "Charlie and the Choclate Factory," gluttonous German Augustus Gloop gets sucked into a river of choclate. Luckily no one met that sticky fate on Thursday evening when a semi-truck loaded with 13 tons of chocolate bars had a small accident on the German Autobahn. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/0,1518,504479,00.html">the truck suddenly caught on fire as it was cruising through the night near Ludwigsfelde just south of Berlin.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/0,1518,504479,00.html">The heat from the fire made quick work of the sweet cargo and before long, a mini chocolate river was flowing across the highway.
