We start with Milton Hershey’s caramel empire and his vision for a model town, before diving into the company’s ventures in Cuba, battles with unions, and its wartime role in fueling soldiers with chocolate.But this isn’t all sugar and nostalgia — we dig into the uncomfortable truths too. From corporate restructuring and shock sales to modern accusations of child labor and dangerous heavy metals in its products, we explore how the “sweetest place on Earth” built its empire and the bitter aftertaste it sometimes leaves behind.Whether you love Hershey’s or wouldn’t touch one with a ten-foot candy cane, this is the story behind the wrapper — the triumphs, the scandals, and the legacy that still shapes how the world eats chocolate today.About the Show:The Jason Hassett Show is where raw opinion meets deep-dive research. Unlike Jason’s polished documentaries or racing coverage, this series is unfiltered, unscripted, and unapologetically curious. From UFOs and surveillance states to corporate scandals and global finance, nothing is off-limits.Chapters:0:00 Intro2:53 Milton & Caramel5:19 Founding Hersheys11:59 Hershey Industrial School18:08 Hershey’s Cuba19:56 Unions & Change24:23 WW2 Chocolate Boom27:30 Milton’s Death32:21 Hersheys Food35:39 Hershey’s Shock Sale37:48 Big Expansions & Restructuring41:00 Child Labour & Heavy Metals#HersheysHistory #ChocolateWars #JasonHassettShow #MiltonHershey #ChocolateIndustry #CorporateHistory #FoodIndustry #AmericanHistory #UnfilteredTruth #ChildLabor #HeavyMetals #CocoaTrade #HersheyScandal #FoodControversies
