Don't know a URL. It was in this morning's paper (remember those?). The fire was in a Swiss chocolate-bunny warehouse. Perhaps feeding the phrase into Yahoo! news might yield results.

Deb suggests airlifting several tons of graham crackers and marshmallows to Switzerland.

The price of all burnt bunnies will be laughingly refunded!

Count me in on the graham crackers

If I were in a darker mood, I would consider this evidence for the non-existence of God. A just and loving God would take out the Palmer Chocolate bunny warehouse.

Yes, a firey death to the grainy chocolate. I would also guess that a just and loving God could reincarnate the Palmer bunnies as something better. Lindt pastilles before they make it back to bunny form again?

Oh, the humanity!

On other news, the neighboring milk bottling plant is syphoning the resulting syrup for chocolate milk.

You may not want to buy any Swiss Miss cocoa for the next 8-10 months.
