Chocolate falls like snow on village - 31st August 2020
In Switzerland, it snowed chocolate.
Lindt is a chocolate company. It makes chocolate from cocoa nibs. Cocoa nibs are very small pieces of cocoa beans.
There was a problem at the Lindt factory. A machine stopped working normally. The machine sent cocoa nibs into the sky. There were strong winds. The winds carried the cocoa to a nearby town. The cocoa fell from the sky. It was like cocoa snow.
Cocoa doesn't hurt people. So no one was worried. The cocoa landed on a car.
Lindt says it will pay for any cleaning. But no one is asking for money.
Now, the broken machine is working. Lindt is making chocolate again.
