Why?
In this BBC news story, I have one real question. Why is it that the phrase "The accident involved dark chocolate" is (1) the closing line of the story, (2) important enough to deserve it's own paragraph, and (3) even mentioned at all?

I think that the components of dark chocolate are different than milk chocolate...maybe making it thicker? On the other hand, it could be a metaphor of getting stuck in something dark and evil...
Did you notice the picture with the article also noting that it was dark chocolate the man fell into?
I did, and for me it enhanced the mystery. I think your first guess is the most likely explanation. The thing is, that would make more sense to me if they included it in context, i.e. "Because the vat contained dark chocolate, it was heavier and thicker, and complicated removing him."
