    Never heard of it.  I did see Morgan Freeman doing a commercial for Mountain Dew Ice though and thought “does he really need the money that badly?”

    It's weird. First time I tried it I liked it. then I got the king size and hated it. Now I'm undecided.

    He could, but it'd be 100% bullshït.  He's a master bullshïtter.

    Unless Hersheys Gold is another name for Scharffenberger which they bought (and probably hosed) I'd give it a pass as the normal Hersheys to me tasted like sugar, milk chocolate vomit.

    Well, I don’t have a hoighty toighty chocolate palate, but that color is all wrong.  Needs to not look like a chocolate bar probably so you don’t compare it to actual chocolate.

    I just buy a bar made of actual chocolate every now and then. I noticed that Hershey seems to be stuffing everything imaginable able into a bar in order to minimize the “chocolate “ used.

    Cacao Prices are insane right now. I get what they are doing. Nobody is going to buy a $3 **** Hershey bar.

    $1,000,000 for one hour on the set?

    The ingredients sounded so good, so I bought one.  How could THIS be bad???  Well, it was GROSS!  Total "MISS" on Hershey's part.

    I thought these were horrible. My l=wife loved them. I guess it's different strokes for different folks.

    I had two of the regular size yesterday.  One after lunch and another after dinner.  I liked it.  Haven't seen the king size one yet.  I haven't found many candy bars I don't like.

    How many people have had the Cherry Mash?

    I started to pick one up out of curiosity whilst standing in the checkout line at CVS last week but was too skeptical.  Y'all have confirmed my suspicions. Winning!

    Ya, but they are good and have been around for 100 years now.  That's on old candy bar that is made about 60 miles from my house.
