Better Switch to Hershey Smile

Blerugh! Hershey is the most vile peice of dog turd ever!
I remember when had my first Hershey bar, I spit it out! It's soooo bad. I don't know what's wrong with it, it just isn't chocolate.

But actually, when it comes down to it, they're doing the world a service by keeping population rates down, and also are an aid to natural selection!

Here's my counterpunch: http://art-bin.com/art/omodest.html

It still doesn't mean that Nesquik is unhealthy =)

Sorry, you're right. I just think it's really bad tasting chocolate. It's just... It just isn't right.... I don't know, I might eat some if I got xbox games from it but... eh.

Chocolate is apparently a very personal thing. My wife and I argue about this quite a bit. She doesn't care for Hershey either. Her favorite is Dross Dark which, of course, I don't care for. Shocked

When I went to The Netherlands last year, she asked me to bring home some good Dutch chocolate. My Dutch friends wouldn't hear of it. They said to get her Belguian chocolate if she wants the best. So I brought home some Belgian chocolate - she loved it. Very Happy

(Lucky for me Laughing

Same for rootbeer, Europeans (myself included) can't stand root beer. *shrug* Crazy americans =)

Now that we seem to talk chocolate, apart from that it makes you happy there is also a connection with slavery and child labour. For instance see http://www.american.edu/TED/chocolate-slave.htm .

And apart from good chocolate coming from Belgium, the Swiss know what's good as well traditionally.

Although I must say that nowadays things are changing a bit & it's possible to buy some pretty good stuff overhere as well, the 70% stuff I mean.

Eh. As far as slavery goes, something history doesn't measure into my decision to buy it. We all have our own histories. Guridelli is really good too, here in San Francisco

That link, http://www.babymilkaction.org/pages/boycott.html , isn´t really that offtopic as it may seem. This story has been unfolding for at least two decades. However, it does tell a lot about how this industry operates. Another matter is that there are similar/related practices going on concerning drugs marketed and sold in 3rd world countries. This is really scary stuff.
