@aescling our experience is that makes it harder to find chocolate not made with slave labour, not easier

we already mostly weren’t buying Hersheys because you know their chocolate is sourced from slave labour however idk where else you can get chocolate in the rough shape of a Kiss

do you pronounce the singular and plural of Reese’s the same?

what is the plural of LEGO? we asked a fan and they asked if we were cops
