While it is a horrid, mean, nasty thing to do to a poor student . . . the greater travesty is that she wants Hershey's while she's in a city where she has access to much *better* German, Swiss, and Russian chocolate. Your kid sister needs reprogramming, stat.
I was going to say soemthing similar! In my view, Russian chocolate is one of the better things about Russian food. Aside from Russian ice cream, which is really excellent. And that crazy Russian sweet milk coffee, yum. But maybe it's just something she misses about home. :) Boo, bad mail folk, taking a symbol of family love.
I agree that European chocolate is in many ways superior -- but she wanted a taste of home, and that's Hershey's. And it was what I'd promised her.
And for that matter, if the chocolate there is so much tastier, why didn't the damn postal worker leave the damn Hershey's alone? Not that I'm bitter or anything.
It could be worse. It might be the ocean eating your chocolate. I have a friend who's on a BIG Navy ship that's roaming about at sea. Her mother warned me that mail doesn't always get through because sometimes it gets washed overboard. Yup. Uh-huh. Think that's how saltwater taffys were invented?
