The company slashed its net sales growth and earnings outlook after consumers balked at rising retail snack prices due to soaring cocoa costs. Hershey reported third-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $2.34, missing the $2.56 forecast held by analysts tracked by Bloomberg. Salty snack sales in the quarter plummeted in the US, while candy sales were marginally higher.    On an earnings call on Thursday, CEO Michele Buck told investors that "pressure in the snacking categories are really driven by the consumers feeling pressured financially."

The SPR contained over 630 million barrels of crude oil when President Joe Biden took office in January 2021. In the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent rise in gasoline prices ahead of midterm elections, Biden announced the largest drawdown of the SPR in history. By July 2023, the SPR was down to 288 million barrels, some of which were due to sales Congress had mandated. That was its lowest point since October 1982. Last week, the SPR had 375.4 million barrels.

#106 Today we talk to Connie Kwok.    Connie and Pat met over 20 years ago when she was just starting out.  And once she left the agency, her career took off like a rocket.    Connie has worked on the agency and client side for some of the biggest brands on the planet and in so many different verticals – it's sick!   And because that wasn't cool enough she left the “traditional brand world” and jumped into the world of BitCoin and Blockchain.    Here's what to listen for in this episode:    ➤ Connie's playbook when she comes into a new company. What it's like working with these big “heritage” brands and why the brand story is important in creating a digital strategy.    ➤ Why a brand story is so important when it comes to developing a digital strategy.    ➤ How she goes about building her teams – and her one key question when she is meeting new team members.    Connie was awesome – you'll love hearing her story.

Reese's may be in violation of state and federal laws with its new sweepstakes offer currently advertised on packs of peanut butter cups. The promotion on two-cup packages reads "You could win $25,000" and, in smaller print, "See details inside." But only after consumers have bought and opened a package can they see the small print: no purchase is necessary to enter the sweepstakes. The Reese's contest was first reported by Edgar Dworsky, a consumer advocate and former assistant attorney general in Massachusetts, who runs the Consumer World website. Hershey Co., the Pennsylvania candymaker that owns the Reese's brand, didn't immediately respond to telephone and email messages left by The Associated Press. Sweepstakes are primarily governed by state laws, which require that no purchase is necessary to participate. A contest that requires a purchase is a lottery, which is subject to different rules. Three federal agencies — Federal Trade Commission, the Federal Communications Commission and the U.S. Postal Service — also enforce laws governing sweepstakes depending on the medium. The Postal Service requires mailed sweepstakes offers to make clear that no purchase is necessary, for example. The FTC doesn't govern sweepstakes specifically, but has broad laws prohibiting "unfair and deceptive acts." The FTC said that it can't comment on the practices of particular companies outside of an investigation. It wouldn't confirm or deny an investigation against Hershey. Dworsky said a sign near Reese's candy displays making clear that no purchase is necessary might meet legal requirements. But a spot check of candy displays in multiple states, including California, Virginia and Washington, found no such signs. Dworsky noted that Reese's ran a similar promotion earlier this year that ended in April using the same packaging. Some of those packages are still for sale, even though the sweepstakes code has expired, he said. Dworsky said he's concerned that the packaging could lure consumers into thinking they need to buy it. "You never have to pay to play. All these packages should be recalled," he said.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are getting the vegan treatment. The Hershey Co. said that Reese's Plant Based Peanut Butter Cups, which went on sale in March, was its first vegan chocolates sold nationally. A second plant-based offering, Hershey's Plant Based Extra Creamy with Almonds and Sea Salt, will follow this April. The chocolates are made with oats instead of milk, Hershey said. Hershey has experimented with vegan chocolate before. It sold an oat-based chocolate bar called Oat Made in some test markets starting in 2021. But the new products will be the first sold throughout the U.S. under the “Plant Based” label. Hershey said consumers want choice and are looking for products they consider healthier or with fewer ingredients, including reduced sugar and plant-based options. Hershey also introduced an organic version of Reese's Cups in February 2021. Younger consumers, in particular, are looking to reduce consumption of animal-based products, says Euromonitor, a market research firm. In a 2021 survey, Euromonitor found that 54% of Generation Z consumers were restricting animal-based products from their diets, compared to 34% of Baby Boomers. Nestle has sold its KitKat V, a vegan KitKat bar, in Europe since 2021, while Cadbury sells a vegan chocolate bar in the United Kingdom. But so far, U.S. vegan chocolate options have generally been limited to premium brands, like Lindt, or organic chocolatiers like Hu Kitchen. Hershey said it developed plant-based versions of Reese's Cups and Hershey bars — some of its most popular products — because there's a dearth of mainstream plant-based chocolates in the U.S. market. The plant-based versions will cost more. Hershey wouldn't share details because it said retailers set final prices. But Rite Aid lists a 1.4-ounce package of two plant-based Reese's Cups at $2.49; that's about $1 more than consumers would pay for a regular package. Hershey charges a similar premium for organic versions of its Reese's Cups, which went on sale in 2021. And ditching the dairy won't cut calories. While Hershey didn't release all of the nutritional facts, the 1.4-ounce package of plant-based Reese's Cups has 210 calories; that's the same number of calories as a 1.5-ounce package of traditional Reese's Cups.

Over the past year, retailers have become incredibly creative in addressing their supply chain issues. Unfortunately, a better procurement process, new capacity providers and automation can only go so far as many of these retailers are seeing unprecedented growth pushing their supply chain operations to its limits.In order to get a step closer to their distribution operations, many large retailers have taken steps this year to take full control of their supply chain. Some have bought their logistics providers, like American Eagle Outfitters, while others have bought their manufacturers, like Hershey Co., giving them a chance to build a more agile supply chain that happens to generate revenue as well.Home Depot has recently taken these steps by chartering its own container ships but also taking over shipping responsibilities from its vendors.

Upon viewing Mid-Day Squares’ Instagram page for the first time, you might be wondering why the brand’s three founders are so prominently featured and look more like modern pop stars and streetwear models than the owners of a food brand. However, the portrayal of Lezlie Karls Saltarelli, Nick Saltarelli and Jake Karls as millennial celebrities is part of a thoughtfully curated social strategy and a purposeful business model that has helped Mid-Day Squares become one of the hottest brands in CPG. Launched in 2018, the Montreal-based brand, which markets a three-SKU line of refrigerated snack bars described as “everything a chocolate bar isn't, and everything a protein bar wishes it was” is carried throughout Canada and is rapidly expanding distribution in the U.S. at retailers including Sprouts and Whole Foods. Backed by a total of $8 million in funding, including financing from investment firms Boulder Food Group and Selva Ventures, Mid-Day Squares expects to generate $10 million in revenue in 2021 and has a goal of reaching $100 million in sales within three years. The brand’s fast growth and vision has already attracted the interest of The Hershey Co., which reportedly saw its offer to acquire the company rebuffed by its founders. In an interview featured in this episode, Karls Saltarelli, Saltarelli and Karls spoke about how Mid-Day Squares has achieved its rapid start and upward trajectory, including lessons from prior entrepreneurial endeavors, as well as the keys to its unique and compelling social strategy and why a commitment to clean ingredients and consistent communication with the brand’s consumers gave the brand a solid foundation on which to build. They also explained why a business therapist has been vital to their development as co-founders and leaders, why vulnerability and love are cornerstones of the brand and why they plan to keep the company independent. Show notes:  0:40: Interview: Lezlie Karls Saltarelli, Nick Saltarelli and Jake Karls, Co-Founders, Mid-Day Squares -- The co-founders sat down with Taste Radio editor Ray Latif for an expansive conversation, including why “transparency is Mid-Day Squares' currency,” as well as how data validated the initial concept, why it took some convincing to get one of the founders on board and the reasons behind the brand name. They also discussed how they incorporated lessons from other startups into Mid-Day Squares, the influence of “Shark Tank” in their social efforts and why they identified non-traditional grocery sets for snack bars as key to their retail strategy. Later, they explained how they present their vision to investors, why they turned down an offer to sell the company and shared their plans for the brand’s next stage of development.  Brands in this episode:  Mid-Day Squares, Perfect Bar, Reese’s, Flow Hydration, Hydrant, 5-hour Energy, Kind Snacks, RXBAR

The Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co., owned by the candy behemoth Mars Inc., filed a lawsuit in May against five companies for selling cannabis-infused edibles that look like Skittles, Starburst and Life Savers. Although the suit focuses on intellectual property rights, the plaintiffs also argue that the copycat products could lead people, particularly children, to mistakenly ingest drugs. A spokeswoman for Mars Inc. wrote in an email that the company is “deeply disturbed” by the products. America is at an interesting crossroads: one where Big Candy, vilified in the wellness era as a primary source of refined sugar, has become an unlikely sheriff in the Wild West of recreational marijuana consumption roamed by pandemic-stressed adults. In recent years, similar lawsuits have been brought by the Hershey Co. (against TinctureBelle for products resembling Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Heath bars, Almond Joy bars and York peppermint patties), Mondelez International (against a company hawking Stoney Patch Kids) and Ferrara Candy Co. (against a store selling Medicated Nerds Rope). These lawsuits have all been settled, with the smaller companies agreeing to halt production and sales of the offending products.
