They need to scrap that nonsense and just bring back the Bar None.  Best candy bar ever.

Oh yeah, those are good. I wonder why they don't qualify for this distinction.

My favorite is a cookies and cream white chocolate bar. Always loved those.

No thanks....  

Hershey used to make a lot of chocolate in Canada and the USA.  I don't know about the actual US plants, but the Canadian plant in Smiths Falls Ontario was shuttered and all production was moved to Mexico.  The plant is now a medical marijuana facility.....

Mexican Hershey's?  Um, no.  You can keep it.  I stopped buying any Hersey product when they outsourced it to Mexico.

They also shut down the Oakdale, CA (near Modesto) plant.  One of the problems facing candy makers is the price of sugar in the US.  Thanks to restrictions on sugar imports to prop up the domestic sugar industry, we lose jobs in the candy making industry due to lower cost of sugar in other countries.  Thanks Congress!

My favorite chocolate hands down is Scho Ka Kola. It's a bitter sweet dark chocolate and you have to order it from Europe. It can't be sold in the US because it sounds too close to Coca Cola. I was told this by a company rep. I actually heard about this stuff on here.

Hershey's is dead to me after they decided to quit making Bar None bars back in 1995.

How long has the Cookies and Creme flavor been around?

ETA: I guess it was the last "new" one, at 1994.

It's still the current "best" one, and looking at what the next one is, will remain the best Hershey's bar, so far.

ETA: Unless they decide to make the mint Cookies and Creme bars again, those were awesome. Irc they also made a white chocolate bar with pieces of Candy Cane, too. Journalists, can't even research fucking Hershey's bar history without fucking it up.

Out of curiosity, I just dabbled around the et and figured out what initial facts the morans at MSN butchered while writing that.

Turns out, Hershey’s announced a new base flavor - “gold” with this new bar. Previous bars have been either based around “milk,” special dark” or “white” - and all chocolates.

Now it makes sense - it’s not their fourth “bar,” but fourth “flavor.”

Journalism - where failed real estate agents re-invent themselves.

Hershey’s has started to claim they’ve improved their ingredients in their classic milk chocolate bar. Can’t say I’ve tried their new stuff.

This “caramelized creme” intrigues me, as the spelling allows plausible deniability relative to their assertions in their ingredients list: https://www.thehersheycompany.com/en_us/products/ingredient-overview.html#ffdd

Mexican chocolate, meh. The hotter it is, the more wax gets put into the mix, good unadulterated chocolate should begin to melt at human body temps unless you add ingredients like wax.

Looks like crap.

Cacao costs more than corn syrup and coloring, so I presume that's why they didn't put this in a chocolate matrix (which might have been pretty good, I think).

Another scam candy bar that substitutes air filled, in this case pretzels, volume in order to create the look of a reasonably sized candy bar at a far lower cost than real candy while still charging the same price as real candy bars.  KitKat bars, Hershey Crunch bars also fall into this category.

I don't think Hershey chocolate tastes the same as it used to.  I can't remember when that started.  I've been eating candy since the mid 1950s.  The plain chocolate Hershey bars I've had in the last few years are certainly waxy.  Adding a bunch of crap to their chocolate probably helps hide that.

I don't care because

a.) The only candy I like is dark chocolate, which is expensive and also part of the white patriarchy fascist power structure that systematically exploits and enslaves women of color

b.) I don't eat candy bars because I'm getting older and I don't want moobs like the rest of america

No, it's definitely changed for the worse.  Whether it's a freshness issue, or what, I'm not sure.  My mom still claims the stuff you buy at Chocolate World tastes better, I'm not sure if it's all still made there or not.  Their higher-end stuff used to be noticeably better, too.  Symphony Bars, Golden Almond, and something else, to my recollection.

I asked my mom to send me a bag of Hershey's miniatures when I was in Iraq.  They tasted terrible.  I thought it was the heat and travel.  Nope.  Big change right around 2008/9, I think.
