Hershey Canada sending Cherry Blossom to the chocolate graveyard.
I'm baffled that it even lasted that long. I have never even seen anyone ever buy or eat one of those. I don't even know what it looks like out of the packaging and every time I see it at the store the picture on the box reminds me of something straight from a medical encyclopedia.
My partner went out to the store and bought 36 of them, clearing the shelf. They are her moms favorite candy, so she is going to give her a year+ supply of them.
The last one I remember eating was in the 1980s from my grandmother, we used to buy them for her for Valentine's I think? They were so so horribly sweet and drippy and gooey and not in a good way.
Sooooo unbearably sugary and sweet. Yikes.
I bought one many decades in childhood and couldn’t finish it despite loving cherry-centred chocolates.
I found out when we visited the Hershey plant in Smiths Falls before the closure that it was originally a local brand targeted for the super-sweet preferences of Eastern Ontario and Quebec - which are apparently shared with Louisiana and Georgia.
Yes the Maritimes is in mourning my friend says. The last one I had was probably 1980 but I hate fruit in chocolate by and large.
Oh no, these are my Dad's favourite!!
Better go get him a bunch. I don't even know where you buy them in stores anymore.
I bought some at Bulk Barn for Christmas.
