I don't mind the cost of roses going through the roof every February-- it's routine supply & demand. But this is unacceptable:
Just in time for Valentine's Day, the Hershey Company which is the nation's largest candy maker, says it is raising the wholesale price of its chocolate bars for the second time in a year.
The company says it needs to make the move to offset rising energy and commodity costs.
It also says it is more exposed to the rising cost of milk and cocoa than its competitors, which include Mars and Nestle.
Rising costs, gotta make a profit, blah, blah, blah. Don't they know that chocolate is a constitutional right?
