pickChocolate Wars by Deborah Cadbury was a fascinating read (the author is related to Cadbury family, but not the chocolate-making branch). Meticulously researched, this book talks about process of creating chocolate as we know it today, and Quacker values that were the foundation of the company. The author touches on Hershey and Mars companies as well. And finally we arrived to acquisition of Cadbury by Kraft. Five stars.
Found this in the Houston airport. ✈️
pickI love this series. I know it is gear for kids, but I feel like I learn so much about the famous people they feature.
#NFNov Book 15 finished.
#TIL Milton Hershey believed workers and the community should share in his profits. He built homes his employees. He built an industrial school for orphaned boys. I wish more corporations today had this philosophy.

You're out of your mind if you think I bought this candy for trick-or-treaters. I knew I wanted to read this book, and also knew that it would be impossible to read without Hershey chocolate.
pickThis book was really interesting. I hadn't realized that Kraft and Nestle have a virtual monopoly on chocolate now. This was both a microhistory of sorts, and a family history. Deborah Cadbury is a distant cousin to the chocolate-making Cadburys, so her perspective was interesting. I also didn't know much about the history and manufacture of chocolate. The book was very informative.
I started reading a book about the chocolate business, and couldn't resist getting some chocolate. Also candy.
Heeeeeeerrres Hershey!!! Hahahaha
