SANTA PLEASE BRING ME A HERSHEY BAR


I don't have a real handle on progress when it comes to some of the personal changes in my life. Like people messing with my chocolate. I get it when gas goes up, and when I have to pay twenty five dollars for a piece of luggage to travel with me. I do my best to be green....I turn the lights out at night and chew gum for three days straight a long time. Bad news about interest rates, and mutual funds tanking are a disappointment but I can mooch off my kids ride it out.

Do
you know what really upset me today? I heard that Hershey is raising the price of candy 11%. What were they thinking?


This is where the Hershey family lives. Right smack between Willy Wonka and Bossy. I know for a fact that Bossy eats Hershey laden s'mores. What is this thing called greed all about?

This is what's happening to the price, and the volume, and the stock is tanking...down 5% in one day.

Back in the 50's, that would make these six cents and eleven cents.


But would
you really want to pay $277.50 for this?


And this cute little two pounder goes up to $27.75.
