Today a Hershey's chocolate bar caused a wave.

He loved Hershey's chocolate. His favorite was the dark chocolate bar with almonds. Seeing it in the store was fine, and I even debated buying a bar even though I'm not a fan of dark chocolate. I didn't put it in my basket and continued my shopping.

But driving home, I thought about that chocolate bar and how I would have bought it. How I probably would have bought two because he would have finished the first in a day. And that caused a tidal wave.

If you like Hershey's chocolate, please have some for him.
