I agree. Hershey bars have never been popular around here and I can only
assume that it is because so many others share my lack of enthusiasm for
their chocolate.
A few years ago we were at family camp and my nephew and his girlfriend
were there. I worry about the guy. His father was quite obese,
diabetic, suffered from circulatory problems, was a compulsive eater and
dropped dead of heart failure at the age of 61. The nephew, who had
always been very fit and active as a kid and as a young man, had been
packing on the weight at an alarming rate.
Nephew invited us to a campfire for Smors and said he had brought lots.
He sure had. He brought not a box of cookies, but an entire case, plus
at least a dozen backs of marshmallows and a case of chocolate bars.
I had one. It was okay. One was enough for me, and that was probably the
first one I had had in 20 years or more.
