His candy factory was right down the road from Milton Hershey's—yes, THAT Hershey's—and he needed to set himself apart. So Roscoe embraced a single holiday to get the competitive confectionery edge: Easter. Chocolate eggs, jellybeans… and a secret treat painstakingly sculpted behind closed doors: a marshmallow chick with inquisitive waxy black eyes. These chicks circulated in obscurity until a Navy engineer-turned- candymaker molded them into a squishy, sugary phenomenon. (Today, 1.5 billion Peeps are eaten worldwide, just during Easter alone.) Find out how Peeps went from secretive snack to Easter GOAT—and why some people love ‘em, some hate ‘em, but everyone loves exploding them in the microwave.

Send us a textJoin us for an enlightening conversation with Lou Paioletti as we uncover the rich legacy of Italian-American heritage in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Lou takes us on a heartfelt journey, sharing his family's migration story from Tuscany to Hershey, a town renowned for its chocolate but also a beacon of hope for countless Italian immigrants drawn by industrial opportunities. We explore how these families, including Lou's ancestors, contributed significantly to Hershey's industrial evolution, particularly in the stone quarries and the broader employment landscape of the 1920s and 1930s.Lou's personal stories offer a vivid portrayal of maintaining ties across continents. Through shared memories of a father who served in World War II and the cherished weekly calls with relatives in Italy, we delve into the emotional resonance of family bonds that defy distance and time. These narratives are a testament to the enduring connection between Italian-American communities and their cultural roots, highlighted by Lou's own experiences of gaining citizenship and the magical encounters during visits to Italy.The episode also casts a spotlight on the labor movements of the 1930s, revealing the complex legacy of Milton Hershey. While his projects kept many employed during tough times, they also sparked unrest and a failed strike in 1937, with Italian-Americans at the heart of these events. Through engaging stories and critical reflections, we celebrate the resilience of this vibrant community and debunk stereotypes, acknowledging their vast contributions beyond the confines of popular culture's limited narratives. Join us as we honor the true legacy of Italian-Americans in shaping not only Hershey but also the broader American landscape.Turnkey.

BBB034-1 Henry Oscar Wilbur was a Philadelphia chocolatier who was probably most famous for his small chocolate pieces with his name on the bottom.  He called them Wilbur Buds and offered a spirited competition to Milton Hershey's Kisses.

Today we head on down to the chocolate milk microchip, to drink our cares away and talk funny about all things theme parks. This week Ryan tells Adriane all about his trip to the sweetest place on earth, Hershey Pennsylvania, and the theme park where chocolate flows like the salmon of Capistrano Hersheypark. the brainchild of factory man and chocolatier Milton Hershey. So will the massive coasters turn our stomachs or will that happen with the enormous milk shakes ....  To find out, you just gotta listen in.

Almost everybody loves chocolate.    Henry Oscar Wilbur was a Philadelphia chocolatier who was probably most famous for his small chocolate pieces with his name on the bottom.  He called them Wilbur Buds and offered a spirited competition to Milton Hershey's Kisses.    Although Hershey is not buried locally, his beloved wife Kitty spent nearly three years in a receiving vault until a new cemetery was built in Hershey as her final resting place.    Grain merchant Franklin Baker once received a load of coconut as payment for a boatload of grain.  Baker turned this serendipitous occurrence into a lifetime of working with coconut, such that the name “Baker's” is almost synonymous with coconuts.    You'll hear about these three Laurel Hill West residents - two permanent, one temporary - in this episode of Biographical Bytes from Bala #034 – Sweet Tooth: Wilbur, Baker, Hershey.

Rerun. Hersheypark was created as a recreation ground for the workers and families who staffed the Hershey chocolate factory in Pennsylvania when it opened on 30th May, 1906. But visitors from across the State soon came to marvel at its playgrounds, boating lake and band-stand… and, before long, the environs began to morph into the chocolate-themed amusement park it remains to this day. Its success exemplifies the ‘Company Town' phenomenon: at one point, 3% of the USA's entire population lived in a town that was owned and run by the company that they worked for. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how caramel, not chocolate, first paved the way to Hershey's success; debate whether Hersheypark was a philanthropic gift to his employees, or a cynical bid to keep them from leaving; and explain to Americans why Brits would prefer an attraction with less butyric acid…  Further Reading: • ‘More Than 110 Years of Hersheypark Happy' (Hershey, 2022): https://www.hersheypa.com/about-hershey/history/hersheypark-history.php • Milton Hershey, The Man Who Built A Chocolate Empire (All That's Interesting, 2022): https://allthatsinteresting.com/milton-hershey • ‘From Sweet To Sweeter: The Legacy of Hersheypark' (Hersheypark Enthusiast, 2021): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIJlIYlPo38 ‘Why am I hearing a rerun?'

Steve Balliet is the Senior Manager of Hershey's US Owned Retail in Hershey, PA.  In his role, Steve runs both Hershey's Chocolate World locations, with one in Hershey, PA, and one in Times Square in New York.  Steve began his career at Dorney Park as a seasonal supervisor where he found his passion for the business, particularly in leadership.  Later, Steve took an opportunity to move to Hershey, where he has been for more than 20 years.  In this interview, Steve talks about working for a purpose, from the bean to the bar, and transformational leadership.   Working for a purpose “When you think about Hershey, you think about fun, you think about chocolate, and you think about kids.” The Milton Hershey School, founded in 1920 by Milton Hershey, is a boarding school for orphan boys.  Currently, the school serves thousands of underprivileged kids from all around the country from kindergarten through 12th grade.  The school is funded by the Hershey Company and Hershey Entertainment & Resorts in perpetuity. For Hershey employees, whether they work in the theme park, hotel, factory, or any other business entity, they get to come to work every day knowing that their work serves even more than a profitable business, but that it truly goes to a cause that helps so many people in need.   From the bean to the bar “Our stories are rooted in reality and authenticity.” One of the most iconic aspects of Hershey's Chocolate World is being able to take the factory tour, a dark ride that takes riders through the story of how chocolate is made.  Steve refers to it as being an immersive experience, as it brings guests into a compelling story that is both educational and entertaining. The factory tour was part of Milton Hershey's vision of being able to showcase how the product is made to demonstrate the high-quality standard that goes into each and every piece of candy.  In the 1970s, the popularity of the tour prompted the creation of Hershey's Chocolate World to create the tour as a standalone experience.  Over time, the ride has been updated to reflect continual changes to the story; however, the original track layout and ride system remains unchanged.   Transformational leadership “My day exists to make my team look good.” Steve refers to himself as a transformational leader and is passionate about developing the individuals in the teams that he supports.  Steve defines transformational leadership as taking complex ideas and making them simple so they can be understood and implemented with ease. Transformational leadership also incorporates continuous improvement.  Steve stresses the importance of failing fast and learning from mistakes in the interest of growth and continual development.  Steve says that you should strive to make the guest experience a little better than the day before.   To learn about Hershey's Chocolate World, visit www.chocolateworld.com.  To connect with Steve directly, you can email him at sballiet@hersheys.com.   This podcast wouldn't be possible without the incredible work of our faaaaaantastic team: Scheduling and correspondence by Kristen Karaliunas Audio and video editing by Abby Giganan   To connect with AttractionPros: AttractionPros.com AttractionPros@gmail.com AttractionPros on Facebook AttractionPros on LinkedIn AttractionPros on Instagram AttractionPros on Twitter (X)

Is the University of Chicago-blessed, "greed is good" near-term profits approach to business wearing out its welcome? James O'Toole's The Enlightened Capitalists: Cautionary Tales of Business Pioneers Who Tried to Do Well by Doing Good(HarperBusiness, 2019) is a welcome addition to the current debate about what is the right balance between the near-term profit motive and long-term social goals in running a business. O'Toole, an emeritus professor of business ethics at USC, argues that entrepreneurs have and can be financially successful and still treat their employees, partners, and customers with respect. He provides two dozen case studies of founders and leaders, ranging from Milton Hershey to Robert Wood Johnson to Herb Kelleher, who tried to do more than just make a quick buck. These pioneers believed that if they practiced a form of ethical capitalism, the profits would roll in. And they did. The challenge that O'Toole recognizes from the outset is that the culture these founders created rarely survived their own tenures at the top, and that the unrelenting pressure of the market ultimately wears down even the most well-intentioned business leader. In the end, he concludes that large publicly traded corporations face the greatest pressures, while smaller, private or trust-held businesses have an easier time of creating and sustaining a positive culture. The Enlightened Capitalists is a must read for every aspiring business leader and investor, even those who are convinced that they are on the "right" side of the debate. The judgments can shift rapidly. Even a spectacularly successful New Economy company that had for years as its motto "Don't be evil" (since replaced with "Do the right thing") can quickly end up being vilified in the media and charged by regulators for its monopoly-like behavior. As Kermit might say, it's not easy being good (or green.) Daniel Peris is Senior Vice President at Federated Investors in Pittsburgh. Trained as a historian of modern Russia, he is the author most recently of Getting Back to Business: Why Modern Portfolio Theory Fails Investors.

O'Toole, an emeritus professor of business ethics at USC, argues that entrepreneurs have and can be financially successful and still treat their employees, partners, and customers with respect. He provides two dozen case studies of founders and leaders, ranging from Milton Hershey to Robert Wood Johnson to Herb Kelleher, who tried to do more than just make a quick buck. These pioneers believed that if they practiced a form of ethical capitalism, the profits would roll in. And they did. The challenge that O'Toole recognizes from the outset is that the culture these founders created rarely survived their own tenures at the top, and that the unrelenting pressure of the market ultimately wears down even the most well-intentioned business leader. In the end, he concludes that large publicly traded corporations face the greatest pressures, while smaller, private or trust-held businesses have an easier time of creating and sustaining a positive culture. The Enlightened Capitalists is a must read for every aspiring business leader and investor, even those who are convinced that they are on the "right" side of the debate. The judgments can shift rapidly. Even a spectacularly successful New Economy company that had for years as its motto "Don't be evil" (since replaced with "Do the right thing") can quickly end up being vilified in the media and charged by regulators for its monopoly-like behavior.

Kate interviews Diane Howell, her housemother while a student at The Milton Hershey School, a private boarding school in Hershey, Pennsylvania for K–12 students. The institution was founded in 1909 by chocolate industrialist Milton Hershey and his wife, Catherine Hershey. The school began as a vision shared by Milton S. Hershey and his wife, Catherine, to provide a home and education for orphaned children. That dream has grown into what is now a state-of-the-art multi-campus school and home to more than 2,000 income-eligible children from across the United States.

On this episode of Our American Stories, an American candy store in 1900 looked very different than it does today. Candy was a special treat sold almost exclusively in candy stores. Even though there were plenty of sweets to choose from, Milton Hershey knew the one thing that was missing: chocolate. Chocolate was sold in Europe, and only a very few affluent Americans had ever tried it. Here to tell the story is Don Papson, President and Executive Director at The M.S. Hershey Foundation, and Amy Zeigler, Senior Director of The Hershey Story Museum. Support the show (https://www.ouramericanstories.com/donate)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 29, 2023 is: dyed-in-the-wool • dyde-in-thuh-WOOL • adjective Someone described as dyed-in-the-wool has very strong, uncompromising beliefs or opinions. // The festival was held in a remote, rural town, ensuring it would attract no one but the most dyed-in-the-wool bluegrass fans. See the entry > Examples: “Nearly a century after Milton Hershey brought hockey here in part to entertain chocolate factory workers, the Bears and their fans still hold a novel place in the sport. The oldest AHL team serves as the primary development club for the Washington Capitals, even though it has supporters who have been season ticket holders longer than the Capitals have existed. Some players refer to Hershey as the ‘33rd NHL city' because of the team's dyed-in-the-wool fan base, much of which comprises generations of families that have followed it since World War II.” — Roman Stubb, The Washington Post, 4 Apr. 2023 Did you know? Early yarn makers would dye wool before spinning it into yarn to make the fibers retain their color longer, an order of operations still frequently followed. In 16th-century England, that make-it-last coloring practice led writers to draw a comparison between the dyeing of wool and the way children could, if taught early, be influenced in ways that would last throughout their lives. In the 19th-century U.S., the wool-dyeing practice put eloquent Federalist orator Daniel Webster in mind of a certain type of Democrat whose attitudes were as unyielding as the dye in unspun wool. Of course, Democrats were soon using the term against their opponents, too, but over time the partisanship of the expression faded and it is now a general term describing anyone or anything that seems unlikely or unwilling to change.

Jason Wolfe is the definition of a serial entrepreneur. He sold MyCoupons.com for roughly $23 million in 2000, shortly before the DotCom bubble burst. Jason rolled over his proceeds into successive wins with his companies Direct Response Technologies (acquired by Digital River for $22 million), Jambo Media (for $15 million) and Giftcards.com (by Blackhawk Network for $120 million). Pretty impressive. Even more so when you consider how he grew up. After growing up in the Milton Hershey School, an orphanage founded by Milton Hershey, Jason was living out of his car. He taught himself how to code by using books at the local library and CompUSA's 'Building the Perfect Web'. This led to building the first coupon website and launching his first internet business. From 1995 to 2000, Jason built the business, raising $500k in VC from Jupiter Media and garnering >$1 million in annual sales and 20 million page views per month. Today, he is building GiftYa, GiveInKind, and PerfectGift, which have the potential to be his biggest businesses yet. ​Jason's Challenge; Give more. Be Kind. Pull someone else up.

Christopher MaherTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Christopher Maher. In this episode, we chat about the family tragedy and events that led to his growing up in a group home built by Milton Hershey, what inspired him to join the U.S. military and become a Navy Seal. Then we follow his path from the military, to studying the practice of traditional Chinese Medicine. We talk about why he made that decision, and what he has learned from these studies. Next, we discuss his True Body Intelligence teachings, and how he helps people find 'supreme clarity' by creating a more balanced relationship between one's yin energy & yang energy. Finally, we find out what FREE FOR LIFE means, and why he wrote a book about it. We laugh a lot, we get serious a lot, and we get real. I'm sure Christopher will be back, so stay tuned!
