It seems that the Hershey Company is pulling up stakes and moving to Mexico. So this means that, like Susie at Suburban Guerrilla, I will not be buying any more of their product. Kansas City has a local chocolatier, Russell Stover. They also own the old and famous Whitman's brand. Guess I will be buying my local chocolates.
In some ways that is good -- they have a whole lot less wax and hardener than Hershey's!

I hope US relations with Mexico don't sour because of this move. ;-D
