The Hersey's chocolate bar as seen in WWII movies would be completely unacceptable
today since they weren't meant to be a treat but instead, an emergency ration. It
might be a good idea to sell those Hersey's today as emergency rations since it
looks like the weather might give us a wild ride this season. My guess is that
a nutrient rich material that doesn't require refrigeration and has a long shelf
life would be a grand idea in case the shit hits the fan.
