Fail. Next up, bug based chocolate.

[dfwgator]

[who knows what evil?]

FAIL.

[Blurb2350]

The company’s marketing geniuses are still arguing over how to rebrand Kisses. Should be a doozy.

[moovova]

Sounds...appetizing.

[vortigern]

It’s sad to see a once well-loved food industry giant trying so desperately hard to commit marketing suicide.

[Vaduz]

Plants get murdered to be peanut butter Cups.

[N. Theknow]

And they will still taste like crap.

[NohSpinZone]

Terrible week for the company that was so revered as being instrumental in America’s candy diplomacy after WW2.

[DallasBiff]

Hershey’s decided to go woke, if they had marketed it as lactose intolerant version, you wouldn’t see the uproar.

[bobbo666]

Go to DailyWire and buy their She/Her or HE/Him chocolates. One has nuts. Need a hint as to which?

Send to favorite vegan, dipshit.

[Ultra Sonic 007]

Send to favorite vegan, dipshit.

???

What did I say to earn such ire?

[Mount Athos]

dark chocolate doesn’t contain milk...

[Osage Orange]

Where does Chocolate come from?

I know the answer...

It ain't meat.

[hopespringseternal]

Buggers?

[Osage Orange]

Well there are black and white cattle...and brown cattle.

I'll bet some have ate a peanut or two...

Now butter is a whole different animal..

[Right Brother]

Milk chocolate is not chocolate.

[HamiltonJay]

Oh I am sure the reason for it has nothing to do with Lactose but targeting the radical vegans or whatever they call themselves.

I suspect highly it will not be on the market long... most of these niche type of things never last long at all..

[Salman]

Do they not already produce dark chocolate as well as the more popular milk chocolate?
So this is merely a marketing gimmick.

My guess is the new products taste just fine, but I'll never know because ... Hershey's, you know.

[Pennsyltucky Boy]

This is seriously woke bullshit from the company whose founder and namesake more or less invented Milk Chocolate. I guess they can now just call it Plant Based Emulsifier Chocolate. Another case of woke children being employed in product development and promotion who have no appreciation or recognition of how their self indulgent woke world outlook can destroy a company image that took decades to build. Sadly their product quality has already been degraded to the point where this will hardly matter as they continue to swirl toward the drain.
