"Choke-A-Lot", Way to Die #498, is the fifth death featured in "Death Gets Busy", which aired on February 22, 2009.
Plot[]
Two happy-go-lucky minimum-wage cafeteria workers, Carl and Lenny, are playing around nearby the sink and around the kitchen. One day, at around 2:20 A.M., Carl and Lenny carry two sacks of cocoa-powder and bring them to the store room. In the store room, the two workers opened up the sacks of cocoa powder and play around with the powder while playfully smacking each other. Moments after playing with the powder, the powder starts filling the store room and their alveoli, causing the two to suffocate from a lack of oxygen and die.
"Carl and Lenny are making good time. A couple of sacks of cocoa powder and the race is on. The two idiots pound and pelt each other with wild abandon. If Carl and Lenny were a little less stupid, they might've stopped once they realized they were gradually suffocating for the cocoa-charged atmosphere."
