A Call to the CYY Reference Library


The phone rang the other day.

Me: "Hello?"
Alexandra: "Did you know that Hershey's makes both the Skor bar AND the Heath bar?!" (Not even a hello!)
Me: "I'm off to research this." Click.
She was causing quite a kerfuffle. She was in the mood for toffee and decided to take a closer look at the two. Yes, it's true, both are made by Hershey, and both have practically identical ingredients, except for Heath, which also has partially hydrogenated goopdy goo. How perplexing. Why on earth would Hershey make two such similar products? And do they really taste that different? I told her we have to do a blind taste test now. This should be fun!
