Chocolate lovers! We’ve all wished we could one day swim in a gushing chocolate waterfall or play in chocolate snow. But one Swiss town actually saw their chocolate dreams turn to reality. Residents of a Swiss town woke up to witness chocolate snowfall due to a chocolate factory malfunction. It started snowing particles of fine cocoa powder after the ventilation of the nearby Lindt & Spruengli factory malfunctioned. A minor defect in the cooling ventilation for a line for roasted “cocoa nibs” in its Olten factory, between Zurich and Basel, led to this ultimate Willy Wonka moment. When it comes to chocolate, India’s first-ever chocolate museum is located in Ooty.

A Lindt & Spruengli factory at Olten had a minor defect in ts cooling ventilation for “cocoa nibs” causing chocolate snowfall all around.

They also repaired the ventilation. But the residents of this Swiss town would surely wish it would rain chocolate everyday right!
