Firefighters helped the Wisconsin man who got stuck while retrieving a Snickers bar. His 20-year-old cousin says: "He happened to look in the gas tank. There was chocolate in there. He tried to get it out. He started picking it out with his hand and his hand got stuck." The local paper published a photo gallery (pageview opportunity!) of the rescue. (WisInfo.com)

So the story is that someone at the tire shop put candy in his tank? Why? The story seems half-reported.

How the hell does a candy bar end up in a gas tank?

I have heard of putting sugar in the gas tank, but ususally that is without the nougat.
Can't tell you how beneficial all 8 of those pics were... when one would have sufficed.
Sure, if he was a hot girl, the more pics the better.

"Sir. Are you still holding on to the candy bar? You have to let go!"

Notice everyone around him has a "Dumbass!" smirk on their face.

See picture #4. Sure looks like his hand outside the gas flap. I guess it sounds better than "finger caught in gas inlet"

He can't, his hand in in the gas tank filler. But somebody did by picture #5.

This is becoming one of my biggest pet peeves. And I just turned 37, so maybe this means I'm getting old.. But DAMN if I have to bite my tongue until it bleeds when I can see some fool's underwear while his pants are around his knees.
It's disgusting, and I have to fight off the need to say 'pull your damn britches up, NO ONE wants to see your underwear, much less have you sit on their furniture in your underwear'. I don't understand it.

did they save the candy bar?

Does not surprise me, this idiot getting his hand stuck in the gas tank. Did you see where this fool wears his pants? Around his knees?? Please, next time, smoke while reaching into that gas tank, hoodlum.

@ Jimmy
You're right. The only thing that would have made this article great was if he was smoking and the fumes... well...
