My plans to leave the Halloween candy on top of the cupboards where I can't reach it, has failed.
I've eaten 10 pieces of it already. And I still have four days to go.

Note to self: there is no such thing as just one mini-hershey bar.

The big box of Hershey's chocolate is especially dear to me (except for the Mr. Big's, ugh), because at the end of 2007 the last Canadian Hershey plant will have closed. They are relocating to Mexico to keep their labour costs down. And I will have to give up:

Reese's peanut butter cups

Hershey's bars

Glosette Raisins

Nibs

And most other chocolate bars worth eating.

With Nestle buying out most other companies, all that remains is Cadbury's. But if you know something evil about Cadbury's, let me know.

The funny thing about Fair Trade chocolate, and this isn't really a criticism, I guess, is that it's so very high brow all the time.

Want a chocolate bar? Sure, this one is 70% cocoa! Want a flavoured bar? Well, this one contains chillies and spices, and this one contains dried cherries and rose petals!

Why can't there just be a couple that are like, fair trade chocolate with caramel goo inside? Or a peppermint patty. Or peanut butter swirl?

There is fair trade sugar, so maybe these guys should team up and help me pollute my body with a more equitable kind of garbage.

My disclaimer is that this rant will absolutely not stop me from eating the blueberries and lavendar bar. That shit is absolutely delicious.
