Now, before I get started, I should point out that I'm aware of my intention to avoid American sweet-based facts. But I couldn't resist this doozy, printed on the side of a chewtastic packet of Hershey's Milk Duds:
Hershey chocolates are made in the town of Hershey, Pennsylvania.
The reason the fact is a bit half-hearted is because I had assumed that the chocolates were named after the place; I have now discovered that this isn't the case. The town formerly known as Derry Church has been renamed after William Hershey's factory, which is also open as a kind of Cadbury World attraction, though presumably (as it's in America) a whole lot bigger. I'm imagining chocolate swimming pools and Milk Duds falling like snow. The nearest airport's only a couple of hours away, so it may soon be time to find out.
