For the longest time, when people thought chocolate, one of the names which would pop into the consciousness would be Hershey's.  The Pennsylvania business, which lent its name to the town where its headquarters is, manufactured all sorts of candies and treats which had one thing in common - chocolate.  But, betrayal and outrage are the only possible reactions to the distressing news coming out of the candy giant.  If you're a chocolate connoisseur, Hershey's chocolate isn't really chocolate.

America's drug warriors never seem to tire in their quest to have something to get their bowels in an uproar. It's not enough that they seem intent on creating another "illegal drug" they can prosecute. Although, they might have an argument here - the use of Salvia divinorum does produce hallucinations (although not addictions). But our drug warriors are now onto another insidious drug-related threat to America. This substance doesn't produce highs, lows, or much of anything beyond potential tooth decay. No, the main thing about this substance is that the damned pot suckers taste just like weed.

Well, I know there are plenty of chocolate junkies out there besides just me.

I'm also a sucker for Heath bars, Jelly Belly jelly beans (President Reagan's favorite), Reese's peanut butter cups, and I'm only getting started.
