Nestle Crunch Crisp Review

Another trip to Sam’s, another box of candy bars! This time I found the Nestle Crunch Crisp, and much like the Snickers Charged I liked it well enough.
I’m not a fan of Nestle chocolate much anymore. Like Hershey I think the quality has gone downhill over the years though there are still the occasional treats […]

Check the Label for Expired Candy

The Consumerist had a great article yesterday on how to determine if M&M’s, Mars or Hershey candy is expired:
“For M&Ms and Mars candy, there’s usually a 10 digit code of numbers and letters, but you only need to worry about the first three. The first number is the last number in the year (8 means […]

American Idol judge Paula Abdul has apparently shelled out $3000 for a dress made for the reality show Project Runway a few months ago.

They’re debunking the news that all US plants are moving to Mexico, when in reality it’s just over 10% of their workforce (so far). Snopes tags this as just “partly true,” but I can’t help but think it’s going to be tagged “true” […]

Hershey’s Extra Dark

I tried a Hershey’s Extra Dark Macadamia Nut and Cranberry bar and I had no desire to finish it. It tasted exactly like Hershey’s semi-sweet chocolate chips which I haven’t used in a while because they taste waxy. I think I was expecting something more like a Cadbury Fruit & Nut bar (also made by […]

A Hershey Holiday

I’m not usually interested in vacationing in any urban area. To me the ultimate holiday getaway is somewhere quiet and off the beaten track, maybe with a beach. However, I do think a trip to Hershey, Pennsylvania would be a very interesting experience.
This is not just a town with a chocolate factory. The whole place […]
