California backlash ?

Sadly ... some people just don't have the courage of their convictions... from the Modesto Bee

...said she hasn't decided whether she'll stop eating Hershey products, partly because she's a confirmed choco-holic.

"I really feel bad for the workers, and I'd hate to be in their shoes," she said.

"It's been here a long time, and it's sad," said Howard, 30. "But I'll buy everything the same way."

Sooo happy to hear you feel bad .. so bad you won't give up ONE brand of chocolate bar ??? WOW.


"When I think about the water in Mexico, I wonder about the chocolate," she said.

Ummm.. you should wonder ... it would take me all night to write what Neo gets across in a few short words ... so i'll just quote him:

"moving to mexico.. . the land of "the big bite"... where every significant transaction yields someone a bribe... means that consumer safety just dropped right off the radar.

i'll buy my chocolate here in canada... and i'll sleep easier at nights."

Smiths Falls got lots of mentions with this latest closure (around 60 separate news releases) ... from the looks of this article, the Town is still holding on to some pipe dream ... or are they talking about The Chocolate Shoppe ???

"We've recently heard that Hershey's decision is final," said Elaine Mallory, planning and administrative director for Smiths Falls. "But our hope is that they'll have a continued presence here."
