I don't like this. Maytag. Fannie May. Now Hershey's. And many more I can't remember who all has gone to Mexico. Maybe I will boycott. I have no idea how old my Maytag washer and dryer are, high capacity, top-loading washer, brought them home when my aunt died in 1989. Like new then, small leak in washer otherwise ok, think the dial/timer is getting out of sync. Fannie May I can no longer afford although I see one of the new supermarkets less than one mile away carries some. I used to love to stop by the placein the mall they had and get a little bag of my favs, trinidads, fruit and rum, apricot something w/white chocolate and toasted coconut, orange peel, several others. Hershey's about all I buy of that are the powdered cocoa, like it the best, and sometimes regular chocolate bars for s'mores, kisses for peanut blossom cookies. We have a Nestle's plant here in town, wonder what they make? I can make my own chocolate-covered orange peel, but it is a lot of work, tastes the same, found several versions that sound fairly easy of a recipe for truffles, so I can make trinidads . . .

Phew. For a second there I thought you were talking about FNMA, but that's Fannie Mae. (It would explain a lot IMHO though...)
You forgot Lifesavers. They went to Canada, even though they were offered alot of discounts. I found out that Jeerzee, the sweatshirt maker is operating out of Mexico.
Here's a question. If alot of the jobs are going south, then why are the illegals coming north...
Do you mean Fannie Farmer?
There used to be a Fannie Farmer factory and outlet store in Clarksville, VA. It's closed.
Personally I prefer Cadbury chocolate, so the only Hershey's I ever buy is plain bars for the occasional summertime S'more. We send Kisses to some friends in England at Christmas, they say they remind them of Christmas parcels my parents sent to them in the 50's when rationing was still on. Who can figure what will trigger Nostalgia. :) I dwvwloped my fondness for Cadbury the same way from Christmas parcels they sent us in the 60's.
I did like the toasted coconut that Fannie Farmer made, can't say I ever had a Trinidad. I've always made my own chocolate covered candied fruits and peels.
