It’s snowing chocolate!
Yes, a Swiss town is actually living our best dream. According to a report by The Guardian, the residents of a Swiss town, between Zurich and Basel, were welcomed by a sweet surprise when they saw their little town covered in cocoa due to a malfunction at a popular chocolate-making factory.
The officials of the Lindt & Spruengli company confirmed that ‘there was a minor defect in the cooling ventilation for a line for roasted cocoa nibs (fragments of crushed cocoa beans) in its factory’ in Olten, Switzerland that sent out fine cocoa particles in the air.

Strong winds in the city spread the particles of cocoa in the vicinity, dusting the town with it. A car got lightly covered with a brown layer of cocoa, reports News18.
According to the company officials, they offered to pay for any cleaning needed post the cocoa shower in the city, reports Mail Online.
However, they also added that the company’s production wasn’t affected and that the cocoa particles were completely “harmless to the people or the environment”. The ventilation system has been finally repaired.
I wish I could experience this once in a lifetime opportunity. *sigh*
