A little malfunction at a Lindt and Sprüngli factory leaves this Swiss town dusted in chocolate and cocoa snow.
Every chocoholic's dream came true for residents of Olten, between Zurich and Basel in Swiss when a little malfunction at a Lindt and Sprüngli factory led to chocolate raining from the sky. Small chocolate shavings rained down after the ventilation system at a Lindt and Sprüngli chocolate factory malfunctioned.

The Lindt & Sprungli company confirmed that there was a minor defect in the cooling ventilation for a line for roasted “cocoa nibs” in its factory in Olten, Switzerland. The nibs or the fragments of crushed cocoa beans are known as the basis of chocolate. Due to the strong winds blowing across the town, the powder spread around the vicinity of the factory, leaving a fine cocoa dusting. Yes, finally some sweet news in 2020!
The ventilation system was later fixed and the production of chocolate continued as normal. The company informed that chocolate particles were totally harmless to people or the environment.
Look at the excitement of these people:
It finally happened guys!! 2020 screwed up just enough that it finally did something right.
