Sing with me...Hershey's Chocolate, Hershey's Chocolate, the Great American Candy Bar...

I'm a Hershey girl. Try going to the park every week. My girls want to ride the Chocolate Factory tour every week. That darn song is stuck in my head.

What can be better than eating chocolate while doing a good deed


I watched a special on The guy who invented the Hershey bar. Him and his wife started a boys school/orphanage and all profits from hershey bars went to support the school. Supposedly when they died his will stated that all future profits would continue to go to support this school..and maybe some other charities.

Sorry I'm being so sketchy but it's been a while since I watched the special and I don't remember the details.

I remember the factory tour they give in Hershey, PA. It smells soooooooooo good! And they give you a free candy bar at the end of the ride! There is a Hershey Spa where they use chocolate scented creams and soaps, but I've never been there.

In Hershey, there is a street with streetlights that are shaped like Hershey Kisses. It's cute.

Enjoy your chocolate. I think I'm going to raid the Halloween Bowl now.

And that school with all its profits is now funded by Hershey stock which is worth billions. Each student at Milton Hershey School has over $90,000 spent on them annually. That's not a typo. Ninty thousand dollars.....

We bought 100 full sized Hersey bars to pass out for Halloween. It rained early and we only had 40 kids, sooo we've been eating s'mores for dinner every night this past week!! (Did I mention my wife's pregnant?)

I'm pretty sure the special left that part out . I wonder if I dress up like a boy if they'll adopt me
