As if 2020-too could not get any worse, we got even more devastating news. Hershey’s announced yesterday that they will not meet the Halloween and Christmas demand for their sweets.
Why? Because our fat asses have been eating too much of their product since the pandemic started, and they can’t keep up with demand.
“[We] have a strategy of prioritizing everyday on-shelf availability,” CEO Michele Buck said on the conference call yesterday, according to CBS News. “It was a tough decision to balance that with the seasons, but we thought that was really important.”
Which candies will be in shorter supply? They are Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Kit Kat, Mr. Goodbar, Almond Joy, Jolly Ranchers, Hershey’s Kisses, Good & Plenty, Heath Bars, Milk Duds, Mounds, Payday, Rolo, Twizzlers, Whatchamacallit, Whoppers, York Peppermint Patties, and Special Dark.
So if you like me, who used to look forward to Halloween for those little Special Dark bars, this news is especially devastating.
And to the little kids who live around me. I don’t care what they say; it is OK to take candy from a baby. So if I see you with Special Darks in your bags, they will be mine!!!
