Milton Hershey set up shop where he did because he wanted to make milk chocolate, and it was close to an abundant supply of milk. When I visited that area in the ’90s the road from the Turnpike to Hershey was still lined with dairy farms, many with signs proclaiming which dairy company was buying their milk.
You’d be well advised to not stand behind a gorilla when he’s ecstatic. Female gorillas are like their human counterpart, much safer. They ‘poof’’.
Harry, while making a delivery of peanut butter, accidently bumped into Milton who was eating a Hershey Bar. Milton angered, cursed Harry who went out and made his own company called ’Reese’s’.
Well, that isn’t the bee’s knees, but interesting.
Why is it that so many people , including Mr. Reese, have never noticed he gave his product an incorrect name? It is not a peanut butter CUP! It is a CHOCOLATE cup that is FILLED with peanut butter! Just sayin’…..

Everyone burps when they’re happy. Aren’t we all all happy when we eat our fill?

Insects do not have lungs, so burping is not possible. They get their oxygen through openings along the abdomen. This limits their maximum size.

Also known by the management at Hersey’s as “Harry that dirty traitor, sleazy Reese.”

Big deal. I also burp when I’m happy. At other times, too.

Too easy on that Happy gorilla and the Happy Reece guy burping together.
Take care, may Nigerian dust collector Ngramford Meekle be with you, and gesundheit.

Reese’s has always been a part of Hershey. At one tine Hershey sold chocolate to the Mars brothers.

I believe Reese tried to sell his idea to Hershey, but he wasn’t interested – so he started his own company.

My biology teacher in high school demonstrated that frogs also hear from holes near their knees.

That lets the crickets know when it’s time to beat feet.

Must be difficult for old crickets to find hearing aids.

I knew the gorilla fact, and Katydid sounds like a weird name.

How does lasonjakeslover get to be the featured comment so often? Does he pay for the “privilege”?
