Hershey’s Miniatures
The Hershey Company is one of the largest chocolate manufacturers.. Founded in 1894 by Milton Hershey, this Pennsylvania company is known all over the world, especially in the United States.
The Hershey’s Miniatures collection of chocolate bars was introduced in 1939, and these miniature little candy bars were intended for use by sales as sample bars. They included…
The Milk Chocolate Bars which were introduced in 1900
The Mr. Goodbar, which debuted in 1925
The Krackel jumped on scene in 1938
And the Special Dark was introduced in the 1970s. I believe there was a dark chocolate bar in the Miniatures, but it was branded as something different.
According to The Hershey Company’s latest financial reports, the company’s current revenue (TTM) is $11.16 Billion.
