Yes, I’m from Pennsylvania. I grew up in Harrisburg (the State Capitol) and always lived pretty close to Hershey. Most of you have probably heard of this quaint town, mostly because of the famous chocolate. I remember so many nights when I’d walk out onto the porch and the night sky was filled with stars… and with the sweet aroma of the cocoa bean mixed with milk.
I loved the smell of Hershey’s Chocolate. Day or night, it didn’t matter to me. I did discover, however, that not everyone shared my enthusiasm for the wonderful odor. In fact, several of my friends actually worked in the factory and they couldn’t stand the aroma. The last thing they wanted to see, smell or taste was a chocolate bar!
Do I still crave Hershey’s Chocolate? You bet I do! It doesn’t take much for me to envision the flowing chocolate in the factory, the sounds and the smell that went with it. (Yes, I’m old enough to have toured the real factory before they shut if off to the public and built Hershey’s Chocolate World.)
Oh, I know what you’re wondering: “What does Hershey’s Chocolate have to do with computers and the Internet?” Excellent question!
