Oh, Hershey's :^(

There's an interesting post over on the Candy Blog about inaccuracies on Hershey's website. Inaccuracies regarding the chocolate content of their candy, that is.

What's most disappointing to me is the number of products that are no longer technically chocolate anymore. I stand by the if it's not cocoa butter, it's not chocolate way of thinking and unfortunately, by that definition, a lot of what Hershey's offers is no longer chocolate.

Hershey's has a line of fancy chocolates now, but honestly, I'm not really interested. They've taken the cocoa out of the candy bars that I enjoy, and want to charge me a premium for it. I don't mind paying extra for good chocolate, but Hershey's cocoa shenanigans leave me with a bad taste in my mouth (pun intended) and I don't want to support that behavior.

Disappointing.
