It should be - especially here in this country one of the safest things that our children can do....go to school everyday. It is too bad that it is one of those places that actually holds fear for some kids.

"Our goal is to recharge growth and take advantage of all opportunities we see in the marketplace" This is what the NEW CEO - David J. West who took over the management of the Hershey Company stated on December 1st. It looks like he really meant it when he stated "take advantage of ALL opportunities we see in the marketplace".....

WHAT THE HELL IS The HERSHEY Company THINKING????That was my first reaction when I found out about this newest "candy" that they just recently released. This so called "candy" named PACS, so closely resembles the exact packaging that is used for illegal street drugs such as crack, heroin, coke etc. that the insinuation coming from the Hershey Company is to say the least appalling.If a small child were to mistakenly get ahold of a package that they thought was the candy Pacs, they could...
