Grandson of the inventor of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups accuses $HSY of hurting the Reese’s brand by shifting to cheaper ingredients Brad Reese, 70, in a letter to Hershey’s corp brand manager said that for multiple Reese’s products, Hershey has replaced milk chocolate w/ compound coatings & peanut butter w/ peanut crème “How does The Hershey Co. continue to position Reese’s as its flagship brand, a symbol of trust, quality & leadership, while quietly replacing the very ingredients that built Reese’s trust in the first place?” FDA says to be considered milk chocolate, products must contain at least 10% chocolate liquor (paste made from ground cocoa beans & no alcohol) & must contain at least 12% milk solids & 3.39% milk fat Companies can get around those rules by using “chocolate candy” instead of “milk chocolate" Hershey acknowledges recipe changes but said "trying to meet consumer demand for innovation" “I absolutely believe in innovation, but my preference is innovation w/ quality”

$COCOA $CC.X_F $MDLZ $HSY The "Skimpflation" era is meeting a massive supply overhang. 📉 Forecasts now suggest a 200k ton surplus for the 25/26 season. Short interest is rising as West African liquidity dries up. Watch the $3,500 support level. If that breaks, we’re looking at a total reset to pre-crisis averages. Bearish momentum is dominant. 🐻🍫 #Cocoa #Futures #StockMarket #Macro
