    Several years ago my daughter’s school had a trip to a (small, local) chocolate factory.

    For part of the trip the children queued up to dip a marshmallow into a vat of chocolate to taste it.

    My daughter was one of the first in the queue, ate hers and went to the back of the queue for a second one… I was so proud 😁

        Ah, it was full health & safety… large stainless steel vat containing hot molten chocolate, rotating stirring paddle, steps (unsecured) up to an open inspection hatch… but they wore hair nets…

        And, I think they had that policy where all the staff could take as much chocolate as they wanted… so of course, all got sick & tired of that and never took any more.

          Did you sign an NDA and this is the only version of the story you are legally allowed to repeat?

          (I’m glad for stories like that - I lived visiting factories/companies and farms throughout all school days. Kids need to understand what the production factors are & how logistics connects us all.)
