Hershey Canada Inc. Is EVIL

[potsmokingnome]

Okay on January 26th me and my wife bought 2 white choclate and almound hershey Choclate bars! after coming home from shopping and then getting high outside, we came inside to sit down, and watch a movie and eat our chocolate bars for a munchy snack, first my wife opens hers and starts eating it, enjoying every bite, then I start to eagerly open my candy bar wraper, when i do I first notice its broken in many places and some powder spills out, then my wife starts spitting out whats chocolate bar in her mouth. I look back at my chocolate bar and notice little brown worms squirming on my choclate bar, I almost drop it in disgust! my wife is going on how gross that is, and tells me to throw it out, which at this point I'm quite disgusted as well, but I go into our computer room first and take a few pictures of the worms first. The pictures didn't turn out the greatest, but you can still see the worms. The next day I send an e-mail to Hershey with the pictures attatched, days go by with no response, so i send another e-mail, more days go by and still no response so I send one final e-mail. I would have called but I work during there business hours, so i had to wait for till lats friday to finally call them, when i get on the phone with a hershey repersentive she has a southern drawl accent so she from the southern states somewhere, and I tell her the situation and then she tells me she's sorry for the disgusting circumstances, and then tells me she will send me a panphlet to tell me aout the meal worms. The thing that disturbs me the most is that is such a common occurence that they have a panphlet on it????????? and they are sending me 20 dollars in gift certificates for hershey bars?? I'm not even sure I wanna eat another hershey bar ever again, and 20 dollars seems like an insult to me, i wasn't going to post anything about this untill I got a hold of Hershey, and now that they have addressed the situation in such an usatisfactory fashion I feel no regret about informing people of this situation. Sorry if the pics are not satisfactory but you get the general idea! Hershey is Evil!

I'd be happy with 20 bucks in hershey bars. atleast you didn't die.

It is disgusting but hey man, "shit happens"

[potsmokingnome]

Yeah just bugs me it they didn't respond to any of my e-mails, and its so common of an occurence that they have a panphlet on it!

[Strikerrr]

hahahah yea that is gross who am i kidding i'd be pissed.

[Jeff Spicoli]

You know.. you could make a shit load of money off of that

[potsmokingnome]

I can't afford lawyers though, and if they have a panphlet on meal worms as a waiver of sorts I'm sure they are legally protected some how.

[BabyFacedAbortion]

same thing happened to me when I was little but they were bright green worms and I was eating butterfinger bb's

[Strikerrr]

damn butterfinger BB's are da note.

[Jeff Spicoli]

It might be worth checking into.

[potsmokingnome]

I use to love white chocolate and almounds, now everytime I look at one of those chocolate bars all I can see is worms!

[dark0ne]

yup, chocolate worms. a few years ago i bought 2 chocolate bars, one for my mom and one for me. my mother opened her's first and noticed the dust that was on the wrapper moving. i opened mine and there was the same thing. after a heated phone call with 4 different supervisors we put the bars (wrapper and all) into a ziplock bag and mailed it to the distributor. they mailed us back 2 bookletts worth 50$, and a written appology from the plant manager. i guess if the bars sit long enugh or if air can get in the bugs will grow.

[potsmokingnome]

I'm never eating a chocolate bar with almounds in it again, they really should have a date stamp on each choclate bar wrapper.

[dark0ne]

just like any food, chocolate has a shelf life. Unfortunatly, the fda lets them get away with not stamping a date on them. it must not happen on the regular, cause other then my story this is the second time i heard of it. I still eat chocolate bars......... just not syphony bars.

[Nochowderforyou]

It might be worth checking into.

Why try sueing them? Did the worms harm him? Call him names? You would end up spending $500 a day for a lawyer just to have a case. Not worth sueing over man.

Yeah man, that's sick. I'd take the free candy bars and move on in life. Don't see sue them, get real.

You should've posted first, and asked one of us to call.

And, yeah, 20 bucks worth of chocolate bars is better than them saying, "Well, we can't do anything."

[siSTARindigo]

I had that happen when I was little with chocolate milk. Never touched chocolate again.....nasty shit.

[thebathroom]

ewwwwwwwwwww.

Thats true, it is better then nothing, just disturbed that this stuff happens on a reguluar basis that they have a panphlet on it...

[Harvesthetic]

I'd feel pretty relieved. If the worms still eat it, there is still some edible substance in chocolate :D. J/K i'd puke my guts out

Ow yeah, don't sue :rolleyes: It does suck but that's life. Would you sue the biological small farmer for having worms in his apples? No?... Then you should treat Hershey equally, the big paradox of ethics.

Reminds me of George Carlin saying (not literally)

"You're fucking up your immune system by avoiding all risks. It's getting weaker by the day because we sterilize every type of food available."

Hey, when we used to grow lettuce in our garden, sometimes the bugs show up there. Do you know how many insects we eat on a regular day? Enjoy those 20 $ of earthworm ;) jk

[Tetrahydrocannabinol]

Wow thats amazing...some truly horrific pics there. ahaha
This isnt the first time ive heard of this happening..

[king kong bong]

um i got a newsflash for those of you that eat mcdonalds burgers. those burgers are made of about 75% meal worms. happy dining...

[BigHomie]

[note to self] never eat a hershey bar in the dark again [/end note]

[D.Boone]

dude its just a meal worm u might as well eat it its some good protien fry it up!

[dopesmoker]

why does everyone freak out when theres bugs, worms and insects in their food? They're pumped full of protein.

[D.Boone]

prolly cause they are all slimy a freaky lookin. but youre right they are full of protien. and insects of all kinds can make a tasty meal. if prepared properly

[dark0ne]

it's not knowing what that wiggling thing is. There are some type of worms that get into your digestive track and fuck things up for you. If i see a bug or a worm in a food thats not sapossed to contain them that kinda freaks me out.

[slipknotpsycho]

Yeah just bugs me it they didn't respond to any of my e-mails, and its so common of an occurence that they have a panphlet on it!
You need Jim Addler, the Texas hammer!

[nuggetgirl]

Dude, the same thing happened to me once.
I was eating peanut butter sandwich cookies and had eaten like 3 of them, when I got to the fourth one I was gonna twist it open and lick the cream outta the middle and when I looked down there, it was full of meal worms. It was really pretty disgusting looking.
Meal Worms happen alot I've noticed also in Flour if you leave it in your cupboard to long.
But in all reality I'm sure all you men on here eat pussy....
I'd rather eat a meal worm than some girls pussy that I'd just met at the bar.
LOl

Ladies and Gents,,, Be sure to check your pasta before you cook it and eat it...

[sweetnhighz]

gee wonder if i can get money back from a fukn gas station that had water AND diesel mixed in the gas and my tank was empty by the way, and filled up the gas tank. next thing i know my car breaks down middle that day, week later finally get it towed to a mechanic and finds out my fuel tank is dead due to water/diesel in the gas. like WTF! $712.88 later and all i wanted was $26 in gas? what the fuk!!!???

That would be pretty hard to prove... I've gotten bad gas before,I did the repair myself though...

I would probably in my rebel way stand just before the gas station and tell people what happen,either the cops will move me or I get the owner to pay me to stop harassing them... The ladder would be a long shot...

[sweetnhighz]

i gots sample of the gas that was in my tank, looks like oil in water at the very bottom.....its gonna b an interesting battle.

[Skink]

Best of luck to you... Might not be a bad idea to hang around the gas station and see if any Irate people come in... You can talk to them and just maybe...

Usually The bad gas thing happens when the their tanks are being fill at the same time they are pumping or they were pumping at the bottom their tanks... water is heavier then oil so it stays at the bottom of their tank,when their tank gets filled it bring the water into the mix and gets pumped into your car...

If you got bad gas it is highly likely someone else did and two against one in a law suit is a home run...

[sweetnhighz]

yea so far nobody else has come forward so i may have to put an ad in the paper cause damn $25 in gas cost me $712.88 and that sux!

[God v2.0]

mmmmmmm chocolate covered meal worms, im sure that could be a delicacy somewhere.

Psh i wouldn't care about worms, ive eaten worse things than that before. but yes insects a packed full of protein which is good for you.

Dude, I'm a mechanic, and whoever charged you 712.88 ripped you off. The worst it couldve been would have been a fuel pump or fuel filter, and either of those would've been 2-250 a peice. shoot, even if you have to get your whole gas tank replaced, which shouldn't happen from bad gas, it wouldn't have been more than 300. May I ask if you are male or female? Females tend to get ripped off alot at garages. I would say they probably overcharged you a shit ton on labor.

well my husband took it into a chevy place that is huge and well known. and it was the fuel pump and they had to replace the whole gas tank due to diesel being mixed with water and gas. and i know i wont get reimbursed which is all i want cause the corporate place of the gas station is saying the car is too old which its 2003 with 63000 miles on it fuel tanks dont last forever due to the hot and cold weather blah blah blah but it did snow hella that weekend so i dunno. i jus know i got fuked and i had the vaseline and everything brotha. sux sux sux!:(

eck!
