Chicago – A young boy was found today in the King Cocoa Chocolate Factory after being missing for 10 days.
When police were asked why it had taken so long to find the boy, they said, “His mother didn’t report him gone until this morning.”
“It was the best birthday EVER!” mumbled the boy whose tongue was too swollen from sugar to say more.
“Look, he’s my little angel and he just loves chocolate,” said the boys mother. “So I brought him here for a birthday tour, right?” She then continued, “And then I turned around, and he was gone, and I thought, well…what the heck? Where better than here?”
Officials for the factory are so far non-committal as to any damage that may have been done. “We are still trying to evaluate how many different vats he may have stuck his head in,” said the floor manager.
“We’ve certainly been set back in some areas,” said the owner of the factory, Warren Peatz. “On the other hand,” he continued, “He tracked so much chocolate back and forth between rooms that we may have discovered a new flavor.”
Asked if he would do it again, the boy nodded his head vigorously right before he passed out from sugar shock. His mother, when asked if she would do it again said, “For sure…I didn’t have to get outta bed for like a week.”
Mr. Peatz, when asked if he’d like to go through it all again refused to comment, but we learned of unconfirmed rumors among management about bringing the boy on board as an unofficial flavor consultant.
After lengthy treatment by paramedics, the boy awoke to this news and said brightly, “It’s my dream job that I dream about all the time while I’m dreaming about the dreams I have about chocolate.” He then managed to grab a police officer’s handcuffs and cuffed himself to a butter cart, right before passing out again.
