HERSHEY, Pa. (CBS) – A Florida woman is upset about the lack of designs on Reese’s holiday-themed peanut butter candy - and now she’s taking parent company Hershey to court over it.
Cynthia Kelly filed a federal class-action lawsuit Thursday in the U.S. District Court in the Middle District of Florida, alleging several Reese’s products don’t match their photos as depicted on the wrappers.
For example, Reese’s peanut butter pumpkins are merely pumpkin-shaped hunks of peanut-butter-stuffed chocolate, and the actual product has no Jack O’lantern-style carvings as the wrapper depicts, Kelly alleges.
That has something to do with the way that milk and chocolate is processed - in some markets they still have their delicious original taste. But its a agamble though, and nothing ruins my day as much as biting down on a much awaited hersheys kiss after a long day and almost-barfing
It’s the addition of butyric acid during production to lengthen shelf life.
