One more thing on Hershey chocolate. A few well kept secrets.

Cadburry (UK) are joined at the neck. We make their products in US, they make ours in UK, etc.

There is a guaranteed 6.5% profit margin in everything that leaves the plant. Extremely high for the industry. Sorta like Kellogs, etc. in their business. Except for one product. The Hershey Symphony Bar. The chocolate content of that bar is so high there is only a 1.5% profit. So, if you truly like chocolate, that is what you should be eating. Go ahead, try and find it. It is on limited distribution.

Last subject on candy. Now this is an exclusive for FR. Jolly Rancher has been such a successful product, Hershey is thinking of dedicating a car next year to it on Nextel. I will continue to be a little mouse in rooms and keep listening.

Tell them Kenny Wallace is looking for a sponsor. :)

I will look for the Symphony bar, but I don't think I've seen it anywhere.

I've seen that candy bar, but can't remember where. When I eat chocolate, it's usually semi sweet dark.

Cosmic. I steal all the Symphony bars when my wife buys the bags of little bars. They're wonderful!
