Hershey Bar Succumbs To Heat…Sad, But True….

Hershey Bar melted in record heat @ the Snellville, GA Walmart…

Today’s visit to our friendly neighborhood Walmart began by circling the parking lot hoping for a decent spot since the asphalt was emitting waves of heat. I don’t have one of those handy-dandy car thermometers, so I am not really sure what the temperature was at the time.  Suffice it to say, it was hot.

As I left my mommy-van, something shiny caught my eye. I am easily distracted…where were we? Oh yeah, something shiny. I stepped up to the curb where I focused in through the waves of heat coming up off of the somewhat gooey tar and saw an even more gooey site. Sadly, it was a dead Hershey bar. Squashed in the prime of life, the Hershey bar was likely destined for a tasty summer chocolate pie or the melty goodness that is a s’more…To go before its time, in the parking lot of the Walmart was sad. I paused and felt sorry for the Hershey bar, took a photo and made my way toward the air conditioned store as quickly as I could wade through those heatwaves.

Inside, lined up neatly, were the brothers in shiny wrappers of the poor chocolate delight dribbling down the parking lot. They looked a little sad, but stalwartly stood side-by-side waiting their turn to become chocolately summer goodness. Hooray for the Hershey bar! Live on!
