6677: Chocolate Stimulates Economy…?


Sweet and sour news in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• Hershey’s reported 1Q earnings rose 20 percent, spurred by Easter chocolates sales. It’s always nice to profit from the commercialization of a spiritual holiday.

• UPS reported 1Q profits dropped 55 percent. Looks like Brown can’t get in the Black. The company should have introduced Easter boxes.

• Jobless claims rose to 640,000. Is it too early to get people started on making chocolate Easter bunnies for 2010?
