Hershey

Hershey makes more than chocolate, they make a wide range of candy and mints, which is also candy. Yes, some of them are raspberry flavored, but are they beaver butt juice flavored? Let's find out.
First, I visit the FAQ page on their website, hoping to see beaver butt juice somewhere. Hilariously they have a nutrition and wellness page. It's candy, no matter what you want to believe. Sadly, I could not find a mention of castoreum anywhere. So, it's back to the e-mail form.
Every site seems to have odd questions they ask. Hershey wants to know if you're an adult, like they're going to show you some chocolate porn, or something.
Chocolate Porn.
Here's the email: "Hello, I was wondering if any of your delicious products, chocolate, or otherwise, uses castoreum as a natural flavor. If I don't receive a response within 30 days, I'll assume the answer is yes. Thank you for your time."
It goes to a page telling me they will respond in a "timely manner". Whatever that means, but they also give me a phone number: "You may call Toll-Free 1-800-468-1714. (Weekdays 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM ET)".
Having worked at call centers for credit cards, cell phones, cars, and medicare, I had a to laugh a bit at the people working in the Hershey call center.
It's amazing how many attractive woman wearing headsets are pulled up in a google image search of call centers.
Seriously, I hate to leave you hanging, so here's a link to some chocolate porn.
