They’ve only been there since 1986? Where were they made before that?

It was first produced in York, Pennsylvania by Henry C. Kessler at his York Cone Company in 1940, for sale in the Northeastern United States, Ohio, Indiana and Florida. [1] In 1972, the York Cone Company was acquired by Peter-Paul, which launched the York Peppermint Pattie nationally in 1975.

In 1978, Peter-Paul merge[Cadbury Schweppes]]. York passed to the Hershey Foods Corporation when it acquired the US operations of Cadbury Schweppes in 1988.

Probably Hershey, PA.
40 years ago, I went on the plant tour.

God only knows who or where their stuff is being made now so I don’t buy it.
