Chocolate tour

I'm going to go on a chocolate factory tour on Saturday. So I can see "where the magic happens!" I'm very much looking forward to this. I remember watching factory-tour style videos on Mr. Rogers (the crayon tour!) and other various shows and I was fascinated. Seeing raw goods mashed and pulped and molded and whatnot into recognizable product is just riveting. Of course, I find watching clothes dry in see-though driers at laundromats kind of mesmerizing too, so....yeah.

I've actually been on a chocolate tour once before in Vermont. It was fun, but we couldn't get behind the glass where the machines were, though I totally would have worn a hair net and those detox-Reebox slipper things! I've high hopes that on this tour I can stand beside the machines and maybe, just maybe, touch an Ooompa Loompa. Kidding. I'd never touch an Oompa Loompa.

Would you touch this creature?
