    Odd that products made and packaged in the US, from government subsidized corn syrup, and not the most affected by tarrifs, still jump in price. Maybe inflation will be the scariest thing this Halloween

      A majority of Hershey products have been made in Mexico for some time! It was “somehow” cheaper - possibly in part to tricklin’ down trade agreements - to ship the ingredients there and then send the finished product back. As much a “fun” fact as the “fun-sized” candy. Even the JustBorne/The Peeps peoples of Pennsylvania manufacture a bunch in Canada.
