A German street was covered with chocolate after a factory spill, according to reports.

About one ton of liquid chocolate trickled out of a nearby factory tank in Westonnen, coating the pavement before solidifying. German newspaper Soester Anzeiger said it was triggered by a “small technical defect” in a storage tank, The Guardian reported.
