Many people credit this as the very first chocolate bar for eating.John Cadbury added a similar product to his range in 1849, and by today's standards these original chocolate bars would not be considered very palatable. The early eating bars of chocolate were made of bittersweet chocolate.…

    Early on Milton Hershey had a rough start. He had faced many adversities before the age of eighteen. Milton was born on September 13, 1857 in Pennsylvania (Schuette 5). He was an only child for most of his life. Hershey had a younger sister who “contracted scarlet fever in 1867 and succumbed to complications accompanying that disease” (qtd. in Shuman). This left him the only children of Henry and Fanny (Ginzl). Hershey’s father aspired all his life to become rich some day. Most of his plans were failures. One time “Henry quickly moved his family to what became Oil City, where he invested his meager funds in what turned out to be quite unprofitable speculations” (qtd in. Shuman). Hershey spent most of his childhood moving from one place to another while; his father pursued his crazy schemes.…

    American chocolate manufacturers use about 1.5 billion pounds of milk only surpassed by the cheese and ice cream industries, and as of 2006, consumers spent more than $7,000,000 a year on chocolate related products.() So why do we spend so much time and money on such a small chunk of sugar?
