Based on the ratio analysis performed, it appears that the Hershey Company’s liquidity is sufficient to meet cash needs and current obligations. The current ratio and current debt coverage ratios were decreasing from 2002 through 2004, which corresponds to an increase in short-term debt and a decrease in cash on the Company’s balance sheet over the same periods. Hershey attributes the increase in debt to corporate consolidations, capacity expansion, and modernization and efficiency improvements. Outside of the increase in debt, accounts receivable turnover and average days’ collections appear to be steady, which indicates that Hershey is able to effectively manage its receivables and employs effective credit policies. The Company’s inventory ratios also indicate stable levels of inventory size and turnover. Despite the fact that Hershey appears to be shifting to reliance on short-term debt to fund current liquidity needs, the Company’s overall liquidity position appears to be stable.…
The article, A more svelte Oreo will tempt the cookie's traditionalists, written by Washington Post was about "milk's favourite cookie", Oreo and their new cookie, Oreo Thins. These sandwich cookies are expected to be, "slightly wider and just a little over half as thick as the original wafers," according to Washington Post. The new design is interesting because the cookies are created to be consumed straight from the packet, instead of being twisted, licked and then dipped into milk like the original wafers. These new wafers are 7 calories less than the original, but are not meant to be eaten as a diet cookie. Oreo thins are will probably make a lot of profit, since Oreos are, without doubt, the most widely purchased cookies throughout history.…

Everyone remembers going around as a child for one night of the year dressed up as his or her favorite ghoul or storybook character and returning home with a sack full of delicious candies. There were always a variety of candy types, but most of these candies were usually made by two of the major companies in the industry.

The marshmallow experiment is one of the best-known studies in psychology that was conducted in the late 1960’s by an Australian-born clinical psychologist Walter Mischel at Stanford University. Back then, the study tested over 600 nursery kids and this experiment has been existing and continuously conducted by researchers until now. The instruction was that the children could eat one marshmallow immediately or if they could wait they would receive two marshmallows later.

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? Well I believe it is because the candy industry in America has greatly exposed our awareness to the delicious treat. Powerful entrepreneurs such as Hershey and Mars have paved the path for candy companies to advertise and sell their products, likewise Chocolate enthusiasts such as Steve Almond and Betty Crocker have given the general public the knowledge and expertise of what a good chocolate bar should taste like, without these influential people, the chocolate industry would not be what it is today.…
