Milton Hershey

Milton Hershey appears in Reese’s heir vs. chocolate skimpflation as the chocolate-business figure for whom [[HBReese|H.B. Reese]] worked before Reese founded the H.B. Reese Candy Company in 1923. The source uses that link to show that [[Reeses|Reese’s]] and Hershey were connected before the later 1963 sale or merger.

Milton Hershey’s role in this wiki branch is historical context rather than direct participation in the current label dispute. His presence helps explain why a modern formula debate around [[ChocolateCompound|compound chocolate]] can still be narrated through founder legacy, company lineage, and Consumer Brand Moat.
