I’m Going To Give You Almonds For Free!

 

Mr. Hershey said to Mrs. Hershey, “Catherine, the Hershey Bar is great but I need to make it better. I’ve decided the best way to do that is to Add Almonds to it. The people around the world have been very loyal to the Hershey Bar all these many years and I mean to reward them by inserting Almonds and not even charging for the Almonds. Yes, my dear, you heard me right, I’m adding Almonds and I am leaving the price at only 5 cents!”

My Dear Readers, this Blog Posting is not an attempt to make Milton Hershey look deceptive. It’s just a Fella Way to bring to you an Interesting Morsel of Chocolate History.

Having written the second paragraph above, I am admitting that the first paragraph above was completely made up by Fella. The next paragraph is completely true but it ties in quite nicely with the untrue first paragraph, don’t ya think?

The Interesting Morsel of Chocolate History...

The first Hershey’s chocolate bars with almonds were produced in 1908 because they were cheap to make. The nuts took the place of some of the more expensive milk chocolate, which meant Hershey’s could keep the price of the candy at a nickel.

Ain’t that a hoot!

Would I kid u?
