Deb’s Blog of Mac, Life, and Stuff

This is exactly what I just posted to hersheys.com/contactus. They may not care, but I tried and keep trying. Maybe others are too. And maybe they will listen when enough of us do.

I discovered the ALMOND JOY cookies and some of the rest of that line last week at Rite Aid, choosing to buy the ALMOND JOY. It looked great and tasted just as great. This is definitely a cookie I can enjoy.

However — and this is big — I will not be buying them again. It simply kills me to see plastic used in packaging like that. I care more about the planet and the future health of its inhabitants than I do about enjoying a cookie. You can package these with just the one inner plastic by having two rolls and rolling that plastic tightly around each roll.  Don’t tell me they won’t look perfect. The planet doesn’t look perfect. And we have no clue what we’re doing to ourselves by having plastic degrading in the landfill.

I am VERY disappointed! These are new cookies. You had the opportunity to choose your packaging. And knowing the issues you have selected to go this way.

I’m less a fan of Hershey’s now.
