Hmmm? I only just noticed it on the label recently.
I always thought the chocolate on a Reese's Peanut
Butter Cup was pretty decent. Although, now that you
mention it, it seems to me that Hershey's chocolate
used to be a lot better than it is now, or maybe I
was less discriminating in my younger days. Hershey's
kisses are the absolute worst. They have a texture like
they have sawdust in them as filler. I haven't had a
plain Hershey's chocolate bar in years. I prefer
Nestle's when I do have one. Well actually I prefer
Cadbury's Milk Chocolate when I can get that.
