OK, that was probably the most bizarre post title I've ever written, but if you need a break from the bizarre show trial up in NY that even has reliable Leftists scratching their heads then read on! First off, I never got around to writing a post on Hershey's Chocloate's woke campaign of celbrating Women's History Month by erasing women and replacing them with men. When did even my beloved childhood candy decide it now needs to hate me? Seriously, I'm so old I remember when a seemingly all American brand like Hershey proudly branded itself "The Great American Chocolate...

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are getting the vegan treatment. The Hershey Co. said Tuesday that Reese’s Plant Based Peanut Butter Cups, which go on sale this month, will be its first vegan chocolates sold nationally. A second plant-based offering, Hershey’s Plant Based Extra Creamy with Almonds and Sea Salt, will follow in April. The chocolates are made with oats instead of milk, Hershey said. Hershey has experimented with vegan chocolate before. It sold an oat-based chocolate bar called Oat Made in some test markets starting in 2021. But the new products will be the first sold throughout the U.S. under...

The new candy line features two products, a chocolate bar called "She/Her," and another with nuts called "He/Him." In response to Hershey Canada's International Women’s Day campaign featuring a trans-identified biological male, Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing announced an anti-woke competing chocolate brand with two varieties: Jeremy's Chocolate. The new candy line features two products, a chocolate bar called "She/Her," and another with nuts called "He/Him." The launch video, which featured Daily Wire personalities Brett Cooper and Michael Knowles, Boering said "our friends over at Hersey's don't even know what a woman is." The promotional bars that Hershey produced for...

Video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww5Lf97hXQMMNot so long ago, a left-wing pressure campaign forced Harry’s Razors to cut ties with a couple of right-wing podcasts. Little did they know, that decision would create a thriving competitor in the men’s shaving niche. In a real-world example of punching back twice as hard, Jeremy Boering, the ‘lower-case g lower-case k’ ‘god-king’ of the Daily Wire started a rival company as an elaborate middle finger at Harry’s for pulling ad revenue. (Pay attention business-minded Conservatives sick of the left’s bully tactics, there’s a potentially thriving business model in here for you.) His rival razor company turned...

Hershey is taking heat this week for featuring a man posing as a woman in an advertising campaign celebrating International Women’s Day. The hashtag #BoycottHersheys began trending on Twitter on Thursday after the chocolate maker introduced transgender activist Fae Johnstone as one of its “Her for She” honorees, The Daily Wire reported. Hershey will sell chocolate bars with wrappers featuring Johnstone and four actual women. In a video announcing the campaign, Johnstone says, “We can create a world where everyone is able to live in public space as their honest and authentic selves.” Hershey touted the woke campaign in a...

Hours after Hershey's Canadian brand launched its HER for SHE campaign in conjunction with International Women's Day, social media activists began calling for a boycott of the iconic chocolate maker.

Hershey Co (HSY.N)said on Thursday it would fall short of meeting demand for the all-important Halloween and Christmas holiday seasons this year, blaming a scarcity of raw ingredients and difficulties in securing suppliers.

HERSHEY, Pennsylvania (LifeSiteNews) ­– The Hershey Company recently fired several unvaccinated workers who sought religious exemptions from the COVID-19 jab mandate, in some cases citing Pope Francis’ support for the abortion-tainted vaccines. Office workers interviewed by The Epoch Times said that the company subjected them to months of meetings pressuring them to get jabbed, as well as invasive questions about their faith and personal lives that some described as “interrogation.” “I really thought I’d be OK,” said Kim Durham, a sourcing buyer and payment analyst who left Hershey in January. “I thought, you cannot question my faith. Nobody can question...

Hershey Company began firing unvaccinated office workers. Hershey is asking employees to sign a nine-page confidentiality and release agreement that removes their rights to sue or talk about their experience. Although their signature comes with a “special separation payment,” many haven't signed the agreement and won’t get money. snip But it stopped being fun after months of human resources meetings that employees say included education about the vaccines, asking if the employee had changed their mind about getting the shots, and uncomfortably invasive questions. “I really thought I’d be OK,” Kim Durham, a payment analyst and sourcing buyer, told The...

Pa. Health Department Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine started her daily coronavirus response briefing Tuesday with a response to the “multiple incidents of LGBTQ harassment, and specifically transphobia directed at me, that have been reported in the press.” A Tioga county tavern recently apologized for a menu item that mocked Levine, who is a transgender woman, while a Facebook post about a fundraiser at the Bloomsburg Fair featured a male wearing a woman’s dress and a wig. The post suggested that it was a Levine impersonation.

A mother who said her “disabled” son was denied access to Hersheypark posted a video of him crying in the car, and it was a scene that picked up speed on social media like one of the tourist attraction’s iconic roller coasters. Pamela Heinbaugh said in the 2-minute video that her son has severe asthma “so he can’t cover his face,” and is autistic. “He can‘t wear anything on his head. He can’t wear a hat. He doesn’t even like to wear shoes,” she continued, aiming her phone at his feet while continuing to film. She also pointed out that...

At a campaign rally, President Donald Trump mocked concerns about global warming, saying that oceans would rise just “[o]ne-eighth of an inch within the next 250 years.” Although Trump’s comment may have been a joke - and not intended to be a prediction of sea level rise - his figure is many times lower than scientific estimates. Trump’s remark came in Hershey, Pennsylvania, during a section of his speech bashing wind power - one of his favorite topics at rallies. This time, the president also jokingly referenced global warming, poking fun at people who are concerned about sea level rise....
