A large group of tourists overwhelmed the world renowned Californian candy factory, pushing and shoving each other in line attempting to grab the free candy given out from the candy conveyer belts. As people rushed into the factory’s main building, the workers discovered they had an extremely high demand for their illustrious chocolate mousse bars. Unfortunately, the candy equipment just started making the first batch of the chocolaty concoction. The workers decided to tell the tourists they’d get the first freshly made batch of the mousse bars.
Instantaneously the machines changed to their high power setting, making a tremendous amount of candies, but something didn’t seem quite right. Unexpectedly, the machines went berserk. Heaps of rattling noises rumbled throughout all the machines, and sparks flew through the air. The machines abruptly burst. The candy inside of the machines flew across the factory room. Throngs of willful kids sprinted around picking up the candy and cheering as the candies launched in all directions.
The workers yelled, telling everyone to leave through the emergency exit. Parents d their kids and rushed through the door. Everyone ran like race horses to the outside of the factory. Once

He saw a lonesome tree reaching to the overcast sky. A song bird’s nest was on one of the tree’s protracted branches, and inside was a young bird. The puppy’s ear stood up straight and adjusted to hear the sound of the bird chirping. Meanwhile, intense winds churned through the forest, making the bird fall out of its nest. The puppy ran to the spot where he thought the bird would land. Luckily, the bird landed on the puppy’s back. The young bird chirped gleefully, thanking the cute pup for saving it. Graciously, he gave the bird a nod, and with a swift bark, continued walking through the forest with his newfound feathered friend riding his
Before Milton Hershey had a world wide known chocolate business, he had a small, not so well known caramel business. Milton Hershey began his chocolate making business in 1893, when his father and him traveled to Chicago to attend a big job fair (Tarshis 14), but it wasn’t until 1900 when Hershey succeed in making the first milk chocolate candy bar (The Hershey Company). Hershey attended an exhibit hall of new and amazing inventions around the world at the fair in Chicago. As Hershey walked into the exhibit hall, he was struck by a delectable smell (Tarshis 14). “Hershey was already a leading candy maker. He had created the largest caramel factory in the country, but he became convinced that the future of his business would be chocolate. At the fair in Chicago, Hershey Bought chocolate-making equipment. He had it shipped back to his caramel factory in Pennsylvania. Then he hired two chocolate makers. Soon the company was churning out chocolate candies in more than 100 shapes” (Tarshis 15).
Madelyn McQueen - Twin Falls Idaho Have you ever wondered how the delicious, classic treat came to be? Well, any event you can think of after the date of 1938, the cookie was bound to be there. Several stories about how the country’s favorite baked good came to be, have been spread and believed by thousands. For example, Ruth Wakefield unexpectedly ran out of nuts for a regular ice-cream cookie recipe and, in desperation, replaced them with chunks chopped out of a bar of Nestle bittersweet chocolate. Another story is said that the vibrations from an industrial mixer caused chocolate stored on a shelf in the Toll House kitchen to fall into a bowl of cookie dough as it was being mixed. Sadly, all of these stories are false, says Carolyn Wyman in her recently published “Great American Chocolate Chip Cookie Book.” In her book, Wyman offers a more believable version of how the cookie came to be. Wyman argues, that Ruth Wakefield, who had a degree in household arts and a reputation for perfectionism, would not have allowed her restaurant, which was famed for its desserts, to run out of such
What do you think of when you hear the word kiss? Milton Hershey did not want you to think of the romantic gesture of lips smacking together. Instead he invented the Hershey Kiss. This great invention is mouthwatering, milk chocolate that millions of people consume every year. The famous Kiss was invented in 1907 by Milton S. Hershey. Hershey wanted to intertwine romance and his passion of making chocolate. This chocolate sensation became popular for its odd tear-shaped piece of chocolate. Hershey Kisses have evolved into the fascinating chocolates people continue eating today. The multimillion dollar company continues to expand its candy making. The Hershey’s Chocolate Company took time to develop, but once they came

It had finally come down to the last of the 500 pieces for the picturesque puzzle. What A major feat for grandma and me! We had worked on it for days straight and kept it hidden under the table cloth on top of the dining room table. Grandma came over and gave me a big hug and kiss. She glanced at the clock and noticed that it was 3:30: time to feed the birds and then to start making dinner. “Let’s go feed the birds, Stephy”, she said. And we went into her little apartment kitchen, took out the package of old rye bread and headed out to her balcony overlooking Avenue Q in Brooklyn. “Ya know Stephy, the baby pigeon came by this morning with her mommy. I think she was looking for you.” I gleamed at grandma and started to blush. Grandma passed me a piece of bread to sprinkle on the floor. The ravenous birds started to arrive, one by one. Grandma sat down in her lawn chair. “When I go Stephy, I wouldn’t mind coming back as the baby pigeon. I hope you wouldn’t forget to come out and feed me.”

Bird constantly annoys Squirrel along the way by asking him irritating questions. Squirrel asks Bird that he should migrate with the other birds but Bird didn’t care about migrating as he claims where he is is fun. Bird then leaves Squirrel to wonder off himself when he finds a quarter on the ground. He then examined it not knowing that The Cat is right behind him. After seeing The Cat’s reflection Bird then has a little small talk with The Cat and runs away shortly. Bird comes across Squirrel who yells at him jokingly that he has “found” someone he knows. Bird is then knocked out cold by accidently flying into a
This thrilling event happened in New York on the late afternoon of March 25, 1911. The tendentious Max Blank and Isaac Harris owned the top three floors in the Triangle Shirtwaist Company in the Asch Building. Most of the workers were Italian and European Jewish woman immigrants. It was near closing time for the young workers until that calm afternoon quickly turned into a frightening moment for everyone. At this moment people’s lives were flipped upside down forever when the fire broke out on the eighth floor in the Asch Building. To this day, there is no set cause as to why the fire started. All they have is that people heard an explosion that came from the eighth floor followed by bundles of clothes falling from the sky. The people soon noticed that not only were there bundle of clothes falling but those ‘bundles of clothes’ were actually some of the young workers jumping and falling from the window seals. The outburst of the fire was horrible, woman were falling through the ceiling while other taking their lives by jumping out the windows. Female workers found themselves in trouble when they tried to open the ninth floor doors to the Washington Place stairs but the doors appeared to be locked. On the other ...
It was a cold, winter day in our town. The smallness of our home caused my family and I to have to squeeze into the whole thing. We didn’t have much money, so we had to do what we could with the little that we had. All of the houses in our town were small and broken. All we had in our tiny town were a couple of stores, shops, and the infamous Willy Wonka factory. If I had a ticket in my hand, I would go to the Willy Wonka factory.
Milton S. Hershey was born in a small Pennsylvania town named Derry Township on September 13, 18571. He was the only child of Fannie and Henry Hershey. His mother was a Mennonite2 and moved often, which disrupted his education and could only finish 4th grade3. Hershey became an apprentice of a Lancaster candy maker for four years and started to get into the candy business. Milton opened his first candy store in Philadelphia on 1876 at the age of 184which failed after 6 years and went bankrupt on 1882.5 Milton then tried his luck at opening candy stores at Chicago and New York, both resulting in failure and went bankrupt again on 1886.6 When Milton visited Denver, he discovered how to mix fresh milk with caramel and returned to Lancaster to start a caramel business on 1883. 7his business proved to be a huge success and was named the Lancaster Caramel Company8. The success of this caramel company was the thing that set Milton as a candy maker and provided him with financial stability to start on his next interest, chocolate. Milton purchased his first chocolate-making equipment from a German company called J.M.Lehmamm Company on 1893 that was displayed in the World’s Columbian Expedition9. He started a sub-company called Hershey Chocolate Company under the Lancaster Caramel Company and began to produce chocolates. On 1900, Hershey sold his successful caramel company for $1,000, 0010and in order to set his sights to begin mass-producing chocolate. Hershey needed a place to produce that much chocolate and returned to Derry Township, PA to build his new factory on 1903. The Derry Township was an ideal location for producing chocolate because of its source of water, fresh milk, and workers. The factory, later named The Chocolate Factory was built on 1905 and used latest mass production techniques that produced the first milk chocolate that was made in America 11.
Market research and information about the industry is very important to the organization because it will allow the organization to position itself well in terms of sourcing chocolate raw materials and in identifying the market for its products. For example, understanding that some chocolate product purchases are seasonal, e.g., at Christmas; around Mother’s Day; and, on Valentine’s Day, allows the organization to have more product on hand and to create displays, in store, that will increase purchases and attract more customers when existing customers tell their friends about the availability of high end products, at reasonable prices, in their store.
Panting, I clung to a single branch, somehow withstanding the winds blown by the giant bird, powerful enough to rival tornadoes, Itsuki tucked in my jacket, held by my free arm. After a while, I managed to slowly, inch-by-inch, foot-by-foot, I squirmed up until the bird was only a few meters away. Moving my precious dog to my back, I murmured, “Hold on, lil’ guy. Don’t fall off, ‘kay?” With that, his paws dug a little more into my back. I took a deep breath, gathering my courage. I waited for the split second between gusts, and made my leap of faith, then quickly snatching a refrigerator-sized feather from the humongous creature’s beautiful, brown plumage. It shone so magnificently in the sunlight… and now I was up against it, it was coarse, yet soft and comforting, I could rest on
Growth of the chocolate industry over the last decade has been driven in large part by an increasing awareness of the health benefits of certain types of chocolate. Chocolate consumers are considerably price insensitive. Except in rare circumstances consumers are willing to purchase what they consider an “affordable luxury.” Chocolate is one of the most popular and widely consumed products in the world, with North American countries devouring the lion's share, followed by Europe
So as your "Trick or Treating" or just having a simple snack of chocolate, remember how the simple bar got there through a complex serious of processes.
