    Sooooo unbearably sugary and sweet. Yikes.

    I bought one many decades in childhood and couldn’t finish it despite loving cherry-centred chocolates.

    I found out when we visited the Hershey plant in Smiths Falls before the closure that it was originally a local brand targeted for the super-sweet preferences of Eastern Ontario and Quebec - which are apparently shared with Louisiana and Georgia.

      Yes the Maritimes is in mourning my friend says. The last one I had was probably 1980 but I hate fruit in chocolate by and large.
