HERSHEY'S CHOCOLATE WORLD

The sweetest one among my
fridge magnet collection.
Vince and I live about 30 minutes away from Hershey, Pennsylvania, aka Chocolatetown, USA/The Sweetest Place on Earth.  The headquarters of The Hershey Company are located in Hershey, PA.  As well, it serves as home to Hershey's Chocolate World.

When I visited Vince in Pennsylvania for the first time in 2009, he took me and a couple of my friends (from New York and New Jersey) to Hershey's Chocolate World.  We did the Hershey's Great American Chocolate Tour Ride, a free simulated factory tour ride, wherein aboard a mini-train, we followed the journey of cocoa beans from the tropical rainforest to Chocolatetown, USA.  We got to see, feel and hear the delicious transformation from cocoa beans to Hershey's well-loved chocolates, and at the end of the tour, we even got to sample them for free!  Sweet ride, eh? ☻

Hershey's singing cows:  Gabby, Harmony and Olympia  

There are a lot more things to see and do inside Hershey's Chocolate World, and these include Hershey's Create Your Own Candy Bar, Hershey's Really Big 3D Show, Hershey's Chocolate Tasting Adventure, Hershey's Dessert Creation Studio, Hershey's Kisses Packaging, Hershey's Photo Bar Wrapper, Hershey's Chocolate Works Machine, and Hershey Trolley Works Tour.  Unfortunately, my friends had to leave soon, so we weren't able to explore much of those attractions.  It was definitely a short and sweet visit! ☻
