Different M&M plants had a variety of...er...offerings. Waco TX had a huge piece of chocolate with a knife near the front entrance where you could slice off as big a piece as you like when entering the building. In Hackettstown NJ, the main corporate office of the M&M Mars division (and a plant that makes M&M's) all conference rooms had a variety of M&M products available. We could also stick a paper cup in the production area of the plant and get cupfuls of M&M's prior ro rhe sugar shell enrobing process. At the end of each shift, a bowl of M&M's was placed in the employee area, and staff were encouraged to sample them as a quick test to make sure the quality was consistent shift to shift. Other plants had a variety of stuff for us to sample. Oddly, none of this happened at the Kal Kan plants, including the corporate office/plant in Vernon CA. 😀 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple found out we lived near Hershey and “oh wow, it must taste really fresh then”. To be nice I said “no it’s the same” while thinking of all the preservatives that must go in a dairy type product Edited February 11, 2021 by JimF-LowBari 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
