"...we live in a world economy and I am glad, Americans are not the only ones that can make a decent product."

So you think that "world economy" will will help your kids get a job, or make it easier to find a good one if you lose what you have?

I can't believe how many folks have pointed out that "Nestle is not an American company". I believe they still made them here until recently. Why would anyone want to eat candy made in a 2nd rate country where they still have sewage running in the streets? Isn't Venusalia screwing us on oil? Why give them your money?

BTW - Have you had a Nestles Crunch or a Butterfinger lately? They suck. The chocolate is waxy (probably so it won't melt as easily in being shipped here.) That's what made me look at the back of the wrapper in the first place.

I know that some people think that there are better chocolate brands (Godiva, Ghiradelli and Dove) than Hershey and they are entitled to their opinion. I think Hershey is the standard and the others have different flavors because of their additives. Again, it's a matter of opinion but the taste of Hershey's is far superior to Nestle's and always has been.
Haven't bought a Nestle's product since their baby formula was banned in the U.S. as a poison and they shipped their stock to Africa. Nothing like taking a charitable tax deduction for donating a lethal product.
Milton Hershey, on the other hand, built a school for children from broken families and those kids grew into adults who anchor the central Pennsylvania business and social structure. No one got laid off at Hershey's during the depression. Workers got real homes with yards, not the usual company-town hovels.

Your mistake about the source of the product is no reason for outrage.
