There are some places in life that you can't help
but smile when you visit. Hershey, Pennsylvania is one of these places. I've
never been to a place this blissfully happy. However, this shouldn't come as a
surprise, because when you live in a town decked out with chocolate..who
wouldn't be happy, right?
With lamp posts the shape of Hershey kisses,
streets labeled Coco avenue, and chocolate signs tempting you towards a kiss or
too...I felt as though I stepped into real life version of Candyland. And to be
honest, I kind of did. So with my extra loose jeans in hand, I looked in the
distance towards the giant amusement that loomed silently over the town. Which
happened to be my guide to the infamous Hershey Chocolate Factory (aka happiness with
a silver jacket).
Hershey bars, kisses, Mr. Goodbars, Reese's, fudge,
chocolate chip cookies...this place had it all. I've never seen a building so
colorful and so packed with candy. Five pound Hershey bars, two pound Reese's
cups, four gallon Hershey syrup..do they really make products this big?
Apparently, they do. But before exploring candy land I decided to give myself a
brief history lesson on Mr. Hershey and how he made this product such a
success.
While I won't bore you with the details, let me
just state this man is a true inspiration...especially to the town of Hershey.
If you ever need a good pick me up day, head on over to Hershey park. Not only
will you be smiling, but your taste buds will as well :]
