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

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

It ain't meat.

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.

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.

They threw away all the good will they had taken decades to build and for what?

Yuck! Soy or one of those gross ersatz milks. NEVER, although I already gave up on them for their trans bar. Sad, for a lifetime chocoholic.

They say younger consumers want this. I think it’s just the latest fad for them and will get bored with tasteless stuff.
