6. They better not mess

with their chocolate. Dairy Milk is the only bar that I find palatable any more. Hershey can take a hike. Don't mess it up Kraft.

8. Bye to my favorite chocolate.

Only got it once or twice a year, usually on our anniversary. Sad. I despise megacorporations. So, I'll have to use Alaska Wild Berry Products (with a fabulous chocolate waterfall in the lobby) exclusively. http://www.alaskawildberryproducts.com/

9. Maybe they will now offer velveeta filled chocolate eggs.
