About 6 years ago I used to work near the Hebert Candy factory. They had premium chocolate and make your own sundaes.
Once in a while we would take the kids there, everybody had a good time and the stuff was absolutely wonderful.
Hebert’s also made most of the bars that the kids would sell at fundraisers. They were pretty good and unfortunately helped me maintain the waistline I have today.
A few years ago they sold off the fund raising part of the business, but kept control of the main Chocolate operation.
Saturday the wife and the youngest had a Mom and son day. There were gone for hours and one of the stops included the Candy Mansion. When they came home late in the evening the were bearing candy corn for him (his favorite) and some Genuine Hebert Chocolate for me.
I hadn’t had it in a while and as sucker for any type of Chocolate I happily took one.
It was simply AWFUL!. It was inferior to the “store brand” chocolate offered in the local supermarket and not in the same planet let alone the same league as a Cadbury bar. If they were selling stuff like this a decade ago I would be twenty pounds lighter.
I may be proudly banned from Little green footballs but let me say this to Charles: If Hebert’s chocolate every declares themselves “proudly banned from lgf”, you should be the proud one.
