For some reason, my grocery store got a shipment of Organic Reeses Cups. They were in the clearance section. I thought these were Reeses at clearance prices, what could go wrong. They tasted funny and had a strange texture. I bought only two. Even at clearance prices, these were not worth it. I never saw them again in the store. And I worked there.

Imagine if they expanded to other continents.” And then the part about shipping internationally - Canada being part of North America, that statement is correct. 😊 However, thanks for bringing this to our attention - they are in fact also sold outside of North America (we weren’t as thorough with our research as we should’ve been). Apologies for the misinformation, we can only strive to do better in the future.
So Hershey's throws out the defective ones. Such a waste of food product. When Luden's candy (made famous for their Luden's Cherry Cough Drops" was in operation in Reading, Pa they also made the popular 5th Avenue bar as one of their products. It has a crunchy peanut brittle type filling coated with chocolate and formed into a bar. At the plant, they had a small retail store, open to the public where one could go in and purchase big bags of 5th Avenue bars that were defective (seconds). Nothing wrong with them except they may have not been completely coated with chocolate, or deformed, or broken in such a way during the manufacturing process they were not marketable as a wrapped candy bar product. The candy was perfectly fine, fresh, and safe to eat. These seconds were sold in big bags unwrapped for a buck. Later Hershey's bought Luden's, and closed the plant. Hundreds out of work.
