Hershey's Chocolate World

Hershey's Chocolate World Hershey, PA

Hershey, PA So we went to Hershey’s chocolate world to buy some chocolate, and come to find out, they sell more chocolate then there are cocoa beans in the world ! They sell big sizes, individual sizes, extra-large big sizes, and really big extra large-big sizes. Holy cow they sell a lot of chocolate. They had a free ride that went through a simulated factory line of the chocolate making process. It was pretty cool especially as there were very few people there and no line for anything. But of course the fact that it’s 45° and raining, and the clouds are touching the roads has nothing to do with us being a tourist.

However, let me proceed to how we checked out, we actually had a buggy (shopping cart) full of Hershey’s chocolate stuff. Never before have I bought so much chocolate, however we wanted to make sure that we had enough to fill a box to mail to the kids so that meant buying a bunch. The cashier was very nice and rang up our grand total (I won’t say how much it was but suffice it to say it was three digits). When she finished I asked her for the “Chocolate World Lovers discount”. She placed her hands to her cheeks and looked at me in horror and said “oh no I have to bring this all up over again”. Of course when I saw her look of horror, I immediately went into damage control and asked her why? She said there really is a chocolate world lovers discount that was created in the 1980s for special company customers, that provided them a discount as much as employee discount would be. She says although those discounts are rare now, there are still people out there with them.
She was so relived to know I was bs-ing, and not card caring customers of the past, she handed me our scroll (receipt) and bag(s) of goodness and off to the rain-soaked BFT and the Post Office we went..
