That's a good one - I have no idea... Maybe because chocolate in the world of sweets trumps all? My name is Nikko and I'm a chocoholic... :) Nikko

Hershey switched to making chocolate bars because caramels wouldn’t retain the imprint of his name in the summertime, but chocolate bars would. See, folks—it’s all about the branding.

Very interesting.... I'll buy that. I'm glad they switched to making chocolate bars (which I love) instead of caramel which always sticks to my teeth. Shelly
