Chocolate bars increased by 13% do you think it was because of that scare in China?

I can't take any more. First there's the $700 billion bailout. Now beer is up a nickel a can? Enough, I say!

Oh gross. Beer is tasty. Chocolate is tasty. Beer and chocolate together...not so much. And yes, I have tried chocolate beer. Thought is was disgusting.

Since hershey started using vegetable oil instead of cocoa butter, it leaves a nasty ring around the beer glass, not to mention what veggie oil in the chocolate does when mixed with the beer, really speeds up the time it takes for it all to pass through the bowel, and exit with devastating force.

We buy those little chocolate puddings that are meant to stuff in little kids' lunches. (But I no longer have little kids around, and if I did, I wouldn't give them my pudding! Oh, yes I would. I even make sandwiches for my granddaughters, the little angels.)
Anyway ... the pudding is quite dark and has just a hint of the taste of tire rubber. Is this a tire recycling use I hadn't heard about?

To heck with the Hershey's. BELGIAN chocolate is the only way to go. European's have a much higher cocoa butter content.

My dog likes the puddings. But she would like to chew on the tires, too.
Stoney, Belgian, shmelgian ... we used to flush our toilets near Binghamton and it would run downhill into Pennsylvania, through the coal fields of Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, through the grave yards of Shenandoah and on to Hershey, PA, where it bubbled up into the chocolate maker's water supply. It doesn't get any tastier than that! Or browner.

YOU ARE A BAD PERSON DAVE GRIFFIN!! HAHA.
Truthfully Stoney, the best chocolate that my chocoholic Kathy has found is sold at Aldi's markets. Just inside the door on the right hand side of the aisle in every Aldi's we have visited, from Yorkville, to Memphis and Nashville, to Winston Salem NC. The plain chocolate bars are in blue wrappers, and the ones with nuts are in a yellow or gold wrapper. I am not a candy person, but those bars are wonderfully smooth and creamy. We don't have Aldi's here in Bristol, so whenever we get near one, I buy her a case of the candy bars. They are large bars and cost about a buck sixty nine.
I do know for a fact though Dave that the FISH poop in the Susquahanna, and the Susquahanna does run fairly close to Hershey. You could be not far off on the idea that there are poopy deposits in hershey's.
Just be careful Stoney. If ya buy a hershey bar and it smells like Charlie the tuna, but tastes like shit, beware!!

Ralph needs to get a chocolate toilet now. I'm not sure the glitter one is appropriate.
