I live in Pennsylvania which I think it says below my name. Actually I live right next to Hershey, yesterday it smelled like chocolate outside  . And no, I don't care if you don't like Hersheys chocolate, so don't even bother telling me.
I don't think theres that many people who post on the forums from PA, though I think theres some who don't post a lot. ;( |
I always liked that on trips up to Hershey Park, but I can't imagine smelling chocolate all the time living right there. Of course, every so often where I live the wind will be just right so that we're downwind from the Kennett Square, PA area. I guess smelling like chocolate beats smelling like manure from mushroom farms any day of the week.
There's a bunch of people from the Philly area, but I think most of them just post on RRS now.
Damn. Now I want some chocolate. |
Well the thing about PA is there's a lot of farms..
So sometimes it smells like manure here too. It doesn't really smell like chocolate everyday either, I guess only when the winds right. |

Can't argue with you there. If I'm remembering right from the Chocolate World ride at the park, I seem to recall that being one of the main reasons Hershey originally opened the factory there. The prevelence of cows for milk.

Downtown Hershey's pretty regularly smells like chocolate. On trips up to the park, once you started smelling chocolate and seeing the Kiss streetlights, you knew you were almost there. As a kid, that would be when we'd start to get excited. Outside of town it's pretty much all farmland, isn't it? So I guess you'd be just as likely to smell manure as chocolate.
Speaking of Hershey, is there a more terrifying roller coaster than the Comet? Not that it's an especially intense ride, just that it always feels like the whole damn thing is about to collapse at any minute.

Continental Europe laughs at British chocolate with its high sugar, low cocoa and even some vegetable oil content.
But we Brits laugh at Hershey's. It is on par with The Party's "chocorations" in Orwell's 1984:
Chocolate normally was dullbrown crumbly stuff that tasted, as nearly as one could describe it, like the smoke of a rubbish fire.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate or candy bars, but when I do crave one, I'll usually go to the British section of my grocery store and pick up a Crunchie or Bounty bar.

Heh. I know what you mean - I head for the Continental section.

The diference will be, that in the USsuch candybars are made under lycense by Hershy, while their european counterparts feature Nestle choclolate. I've had the chance to compare an american Twix to a dutch one, and there's a noticable difference in taste.

Same can be said of the British and American Kit Kat bars. The Kit Kat chunky isn't even available here in the US.

I know it does, I live right next to Hershey
Yeah there's a lot of farmland, but they've been making a lot of developments recently at least where I am, so not as many wide open spaces anymore. 
I haven't been there recently, I never really liked it. But they've been making a lot of new things there I think actually. There's one that goes really high and doesn't really have a lot around it, it feels like you're going to fall off. At least that's what I remember, though I was probably young, they've made a new one or two since then I guess. |

Some of my favorite bands come out of Finland. I LOVE your guys' language, though I can't speak a word of it.

Wow thats the first time I have ever heard anyone say that they love our language, usually they just say it sounds weird.
Thanks
