Hershey has decided to consolidate production and close the Berkeley Scharffen Berger plant some time this year.

Don't fear -- Hershey still promises to produce Scharffen Berger chocolate; in fact, most of the SB chocolate is already being made at one of their Illinois plants.

It's still sad -- I have fond memories of touring the SB chocolate factory with the TE folks:

<Sigh> So, if you wanted to tour the SB factory, sooner is better than later.

Hey, weren't we going to tour the Hangar One facility? Maybe we'd better get on it before it gets shut down. (The humanity!! )
