This day after Valentine’s Day, many of us may be indulging in chocolate sweetness given to us by our sweetie. 1,500 employees of Hershey Co. are likely cursing the confection since today the company announced that their jobs will be cut. In addition to the cuts, The largest U.S. chocolate maker also said it was planning to build a manufacturing plant in Monterrey, Mexico and outsource some jobs to that plant.
The moves come as the company looks to free up more money to spend on marketing as it tries to regain lost market share from archrival Mars Inc. The overhaul is expected to reduce annual costs by $170 million to $190 million by 2010, it said.

Ray Nagin, that’s who. Or at least that’s what he says:
“If I offended anyone, I sincerely apologize,” the mayor, who is black, said Tuesday. “I need to be more sensitive and more aware of what I’m saying.
“I want everybody to be welcome in New Orleans — black, white, Hispanic, Asian — because that’s the kind of city that we deserve going forward,” he said. “
You’re forgiven, Ray. And expect a check from Nesquik and ChocoMilk in a couple days.

Chocolate New Orleans: Anti-Latino rhetoric?

New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin is at it again. He’s surfacing now to promote not just the rebuilding of New Orleans (I thought he had moved to Dallas?), but the rebuilding of a “Chocolate New Orleans”.
WTF?
“I don’t care what people are saying Uptown or wherever they are. This city will be chocolate at the end of the day,” Nagin said in a Martin Luther King Jr. Day speech. “This city will be a majority African-American city. It’s the way God wants it to be.”
