Chocolate and coffee go up and down all the time. You can look at the history here, among other places:

Looks like it took a wicked jump (by a factor of six) at the beginning of 2024; right now it's near a local minimum, but still more than four times its traditional baseline.

I’m hoping that climate change makes me have to go to the bathroom less in the near future.
Knowing my luck climate change will make me have to go to the bathroom even MORE in the near future!

I don’t like Hershey’s chocolate. It’s milk chocolate for me, and I don’t eat chocolate that often anyway because I’m diabetic.

Don't care. If it gets too expensive I'll buy less. Or none at all.
It's called adapting.

Hershey is gross. I like the weird little Lindor balls... I eat a bag, fill with self loathing, then don’t eat another for about six months. Then the sad cycle repeats.
