Just noticed this week that my favorit low fat candy the York Pepermint Patty, made by Hersheys is made in Mexico. Sorry Hershey! I can't go there.

check the ingredients saw a few months ago some of their products that they were using vegtable oil and not coco butter. just another way to cheapen it up but i dont think that they can call it milk chocolate with this substitution

I'm with KoKo, screw'em. Maybe they will find a new "fish heads and rice" flavor chocolate for China.

We stopped buying Hershey as soon as they announced the jobs going to Mexico. Also stopped our twice annual trips to their amusement park.

They do not give a hoot, though. Their number crunchers tell them they will sell to three new folks in other countries for every one they lose here, plus realize the massive savings in cheap labor and virtually no regulation.

Hershey has used up all that America has given to it, and now is off to greener pastures. Much like my 50-something former buddy, who dumped his wife of twenty-five years for his daughter's best friend. I have the same opinion of both.

these blogs do nothing if it does not go to the source. if you are unhappy with their procedures and decisions, inundate their website, mailroom etc with these responses. Only when you backlog the mailroom, etc might they listen.

Hershey's is a great company and they still employ thousands of workers right here in the USA!!! Some of the comments sound to me like bitter union workers that were unwilling to make contract concessions. Hershey Milk Chocolate bars rule!!!

The 'old' Hershey Trust did in fact try to sell Hershey Foods and were ordered to cess all such action by the President Judge as it was a violation of the Milton Hershey Trust. That board and CEO were rumored to be so self serving that their sole function to exist, The Milton Hershey School, was indeed changed and not for the better and against the intent of the Trust. It would help if reporters got at least some of the information correct.

Why does it take chocolate to wake people up about losing jobs to the mexico and others? If we would have paid attention to the fat cat CEO's selling us out we would still have our chocolate and eat it too.

I don't think any of us know the full story and if the Mexico plant is bothersome, we need to remember that Mexico is one of the top importers from the US giving so many others jobs by using the money they make working for Hershey. Let's get real, how many of you have bought a Chinese product or a Japanese or European car??? That is probabbly the second buggest investment you make and it sure sends more money over seas than the profit of a candy bar!!! I also wonder how many of you drive 4 cylinder cars, you must love the oil you are having us import. Hershey has been a generous giving company and if times dictate to clean some jobs that is business everywhere. Think positive and use some facts before making quick blank statements. Hershey is an American ideal product. Thanks for all your "kisses"
