- Most of us know Hershey's for their famous chocolate bar and a few other chocolate products. But there are many other chocolate and snack food products that you probably didn't realize were made by the Hershey Company. This video talks about the size of the company, and their plans to make it EVEN BIGGER.

Little update on the Gold Bar. I tried it and it is delightful.
Company Man speaking of updates, I found them at a Walgreens near me. I liked it too. Just seems like not a lot of places carry it, but I was told every Walgreens carries them. Have a good day.
Company Man i liked it.
do Mondelez International
It's great!
I love it.
You only forgot one thing... that they only own an entire theme park in HERSHEY Pennsylvania
Pac Evoez Don't forget a whole resort and town based on chocolate.
@@Kadekuru that's... not a wooosh
4640jds well they are both connected
and he forgot about the Hershey squirts
Can confirm it is a really good park as I live about 20 mins away from Hershey
Had kit kat and reeses beside me got a york ad.... Hershey's is on to me lol
In the UK we get zero adverts for Hershey and the only bars I see are milk chocolate and dark - surrounded by the ocean of purple that is Cadbury when they're tucked into the shelves
Cookie layer crunches are amazing if they really didn’t do that well, I’m legitimately shocked. My teacher gave me one and since that day I was totally addicted
The Gold bar is so good!
Brookside dark chocolate is delicious. You can barely even tell it’s dark chocolate, definitely recommended
In May of this year, they acquired Lilys Sweets. apparently its a chocolate chip company, I've never heard of it till now but the main chocolate chips i can think of are made by nestle in those yellow bags, so it makes sense they'd wanna compete with nestle in that market.
also, SkinnyPop, Pirate Booty and ONE Brands, a line of low-sugar and high protein bars were acquired since this video came out. he really should've waited a few years !
Amplify Snack Brands (Acq. for $ 1.60B in Dec 2017), Lily’s Sweets (Acq. for $ 425M in May 2021), Pirate Brands (Acq. for $ 420M in Sep 2018)
Don't forget about their bootleg M&M's called Hersheys Pieces!
i believe when they say snack market its mainly involving chips and so like Frito and Lay. also as of recently they acquired pirate booty chips so they really are doing so.
Make one on Luxottica, they are a really interesting company, that most don't know about
In Canada, Kit Kat is Nestle... and Cadbury is just normal Cadbury
I learnt about kitkat-it's sold by nestle in India
I expected some talk about Hershey Park in Pennsylvania and the town it resides in Hershey
Hershey's is basically the Disney of the chocolate/candy industry
7:56 Soooooo T H I C C 😩😩😩👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
While it's extremely convenient that he dropped this vid right before the launch I doubt he's getting paid.... that being said I will definitely try that gold bar.... maybe he should get paid lol
I got a Reese's ad right before you talked about Reese's.
😳
This segment discussing the Reese's candy portion of The Hershey Company is brought to you by... Reese's!
No you didn’t
dude Hershey's is like the Disney of chocolate!
check out mondelez, they own like all european chocolate brands
Hershey's and Disney are one the bigger companies💢💡
On the Mars video I saw a comment that said mars was the Disney if chocolate lol.
I know I seen a comment that said mars is the disney of chocolate on the mars video
@@jimothypersson8306 get ready for the Hershey’s Mondelez merger
Late but I live about 20 minutes away from Hershey/Hershey Park (we get season passes every year) and I knew all of this, I thought it was weird going into Chocolate Word and seeing beef jerky when they acquired that company 😂 Those Gold Bars were nasty af, they just came out with a Hershey Bar with Reeses Pieces in it that's pretty good though.
Suggestions for the "Bigger Than You Know" series: Samsung, Yamaha, Honda, Coca-Cola, Microsoft, and Wal-Mart.
Really enjoy your videos, keep up the great work!
Envy In Motion People. Please like this comment so Company man can see. Please......
He touched upon coke and pepsi in some video
Only Wal-Mart... Samsung, Yamaha, Microsoft and the rest are pretty known (even the military division Samsung has)
Volkswagon. They own practically every major car company that's based in Europe.
I'm not sure where you live, but here in America all of those are brandname giants. They're all known to be crazy huge.
I go to Hershey Chocolate World in Hershey, PA, and ride the chocolate world tour ride every year. Then I buy a shitload of candy. Then I usually eat it in like 2 days.
bonecanoe86 same
Hershey's Milk Chocolate (hoo hoo)
bonecanoe86 yeah same it’s like two hours from me. Why didn’t he mention their amusement park?
Wait!?!, They have an amusement park!!!???, WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME!!!!!!

Hey Mike you should do a video on Coca Cola's Christmas ads, seeing as we are close to Christmas.
You should do a video on the decline of Sega.

Fun fact: Hershey's started as a caramel business! Also, because of the whole town being built off the the chocolate factory, it wasn't effected by the great depression that much.
The Lancaster Caramel Company I think it was called
Yahoo next?
I'm pretty much everywhere, I'm not surprised.

Didn't know about GOLD now I'm hype!
eduardo torres same goes for me
They are being sold in my area at the moment. It's good.
Well now I have foreknowledge of another item I’ll inevitably have to pack out at Shoprite in the near future. As a grocery stocker I’m surrounded by nothing but products all day so this video and channel fascinate me on a deeper level than your average viewer.
eduardo torres hell yeah Looks yummy
david girard Stay grinding fam. 💪🏼
I've been to Hersheypark! It's in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and it's great for coaster enthusiasts!
Superstar Candy i'm going next week haha, i live 2 hours away from there :)
I bet
I've been there hundreds of times.
I live in hershey so I got tired of it fast
Superstar Candy yes lol I’ve been on 110 different coasters and Skyrush is my fav
Fun fact, Hershey has a town in Pennsylvania and in the town they have (if I remember correctly) one of the richest orphanages, which I think also owns a bit of Hershey.
Yup, I think it has to do with the Milton Hershey Foundation. He was quite the philanthropist.
Yeah, it's the milton hershey school.
@@russianman8703 greedy cheapass school had to be threatened by IRS and the state of PA to use the $6 billion trust. 3 of my uncles sit on MHS alumni board, which btw directs the funding
I wasn’t shocked at all. I actually live near Hershey, Pennsylvania (the town where the production is located). They have an amusement park there and inside is a place called chocolate world. It’s every snack you could really think of. They have a mini ride dedicated to telling that same story you told.
It’s a really nice place to visit too. My family goes to Hershey Park many times a year.
They’re a very respectable brand.
starfish wonder They actually do still make chocolate there, not the original factory but they have another more modern factory just outside Downtown Hershey that's still producing.
Adam Smith exactly
My parents work for the factory, and no it isn’t. They treat the people who work in the factory like crap. Making them work 16 hour days multiple times a week.
Astrid Wagner It’s not legal to make a person work more than 44 hours a week against their will. So that’s about 3 days...
CupcakKe Kreations my mom has often had to work at least 2 16 hour days in a week. And she often works 8 hours 7 days a week. She says a lot that she’s being forced. Like, she’ll say “I didn’t want to work this weekend but I’m being forced to” Even if she already worked a 12 or 16 hour day during the week.
Next do one of the biggest snack food companies Mondelez International. Most people haven’t heard of it but it owns some very big companies including Cadbury, Oreo, Toblerone, Milka and Kraft. They even recently tried to buy Hershey
Wow at the last one if its true.
I see a pattern here
Wish they did so i could get some ACTUAL Cadbury.
Make sure to mention how they're based in New Jersey, USA corporate-wise. Not Mexico , despite the Mexican sounding name and having some manufacturing in Mexico. Republitards are kinda big right now into boycotting Mexican products. Mondelez is not Mexican.
Daniel V I'm boycotting Oreos because the last of them that I bought the cream was so small it looked like a quarter on a silver dollar. So eff 'em!
next: Disney
Daniel Chavez yes please
Agreed
Yassssss
I think we already know that Disney is a giant, but would be an interesting video nonetheless.
Daniel Chavez Yes
There will never be a better chocolate than Hershey's Cookies n' Creme. It's so damn good
Daniel Gonzalez that and Twix

The Fat Cat personally I really like that newer cookie bar 😌
You need to try more chocolate
if you think that is chocolate you dont know what actual chocolate is

I want to tell you that I'm very thankful I found and subscribed to such a wonderful and highly intelligent individual and channel as yourself. Your videos are very informative and add a little spice to the experience, I feel, that helps me relate. I use your videos as they play to listen and educate myself when I am doing highly mundane tasks (wash/bathroom stuff, writing, et cetera) and they go along so well with those tasks I have become hooked on them. I say this because my brain seems to actively listen to them, understand them during these times and I feel I treat them with more respect and attention.
Regardless of how I watch, I do watch them - very attentively. I consider them a good course on education despite the opinions of the narrator (you). I feel that even though you voice your findings, they are clearly unbiased in most respects and represent a very fair and analyzed view of the subjects. I ask you to continue your videos and I thank you humbly from the bottom of my heart that you chose to commit to this. It is such a wonderful series - such as these about companies - and anything else you produce I am very pleased by. I know I am just one voice, but as that one voice, as I say **thank you very much**!!!
Cannot relate more to a comment. I'm a business undergraduate who's currently really into marketing. I absolutely love these videos as they help me look at brands and companies in a completely new light. Thank you so much.
I was just reading about the person who made Hershey's and this video popped up.
Kai Bannon what a coincidence!
I guess you're in good company, man.
The Cookie Crunch bars are delicious, but too expensive for what they are.
Agreed.
I've lived in the Hershey area my whole life. I knew about all but 2 of these. I think you should also talk about how it is really 3 companies; The Hershey Company, Hershey Foods and Hershey Entertainment and Resorts.
There is a chocolate world in times square, it was so weird to see when Hershey is in your backyard
Frito-Lay would be a good one for a bigger than you know i think.
Colin Sugar Frito Lay is owned by PepsiCo
my bad, typed one thing thinking another.
Company Man just did made a video of Frito Lay🍟
Now I know why Kit-Kats are better in Japan and Europe compared to the US. Smucker's would be a good company to do next. They own more brands than Peanut Butter & Jelly.
LOVE your channel. I’ve learned something from each and every one of your videos.
So awesome!!👍👍
I'm a simple man, I see a new Company Man's Video, I click Like
i worked for them back in '97. it was a monthlong contract. great company, cool people, great campus. :-)
sweet
Not gonna lie, that Hersheys gold bar sounds really good, but I've only seen those "cookie layer crunch bars" in super markets, not at the typical bodega/ delis I usually get my snacks from. Maybe the reason for their underperformance is due to the fact that most people shopping at super markets aren't looking for snacks, and if they are, they're probably looking for stuff they know they'll like. Not some "cookie-whatever it's called." Seems like they were trying to target a more "high end" snack market and it didn't go over well.
Nice video as always.
Face For Radio the are good but rather expensive compared to regular Hershey bars or something
Face For Radio My brother loves the cookie bars. But man, this video got me wanting the Dark bar, Symphony, and I want to try the gold (I've seen it around and it sounds amazing!). Gonna be grabbing some bars on the way home 😁
I remember seeing them in walgreens. my initial reaction was "oh it's another hershey's thing that's not gonna last in two years."
Word I forgot Hershey use to come wrapped in aluminum foil
I live in Israel, and Hershey has recently begun to bring their products here. So they definitely try to reach the global market!
Well they are still not the eu much
@@alumlovescake Nestle, Mondelez International, Ferrero, and Lindt are going to be the competitors of Hershey's. It is going to be a tough market.
@@xxxx2228 They could try in my Life I've only seen one Hershey product the butter cups and they are only sold in a few stores
I live in Brazil and i see
Great video again, can you do 3M MMM
+1 for 3M!
Minnesota mining and manufacturing. Yeah I heard of them. What about Nintendo playing cards, Nintendo hotel chain, Nintendo taxi, Nintendo food service?
Joe Smith interesting ideas all around.
PA girl here who has been to Hershey many many times. It's a HUGE thing around here, obviously.
No joke about the design being iconic. I could spot a Hershey bar on a shelf from halfway down the aisle in a poorly lit grocery in rural China.
That chocolate was mana from heaven.
Hersey would have quite a hard time in Europe, their chocolate can't compete with European Brands, especially in countries like Switzerland, Belgium and France. The first time I tasted Hersey's kisses, I spat it out because it tastes like cheap chocolate. I brought some back and everyone agreed they were not good. I think they would have better luck with some of their other brands like Reese's, but the market is pretty saturated.
Well I happen to work at a Hersheys Chocolate World here in the States and we get a lot of people from Europe and yes most of them don't like the taste ( which I'm not offended by cuz I love European chocolates as well ) but most of them do like the taste... But yes Reese's is a popular one for them
Tastes like vomit.. nasty stuff.
Yeah? Well, chocolate was invented in Mexico so you Europeans can suck it.
I loved the “Zero” candy bar! I used to eat them like crazy, in the ‘70’s. I couldn’t find them for awhile, then they were back on the shelves about 10 years later (more or less.).
My Mom loves “Kit-Kat,” and will eat an entire bag, by herself. My Dad loves “Rolo’s.”
Was a story done already on the honey bun?
Me too! I love Zero bars, they don't get enough love. I would always buy one on my trip up north every year. Bit they are hard to find now.
My fave
If you speed his videos up to 1.5x speed, they sound more natural to the originals... Does he do it to drag them out??
I grew up in Hershey! Love the video! When it rains in the town you can smell the chocolate!
also the Hershey Trust owns the chocolate company (Hershey Foods) and the entertainment sector of everything in town from HersheyPark to local restaurants. They also foot the bill for the Milton Hershey School which benefits under privileged kids. They're doing great and definitely not hurting for money
I’ve always wanted to go there.
Kind of like Golden, CO where thr prevelant smell in the city is the smell of yeast and matled grain from the Coors brewery. Something that you either love or hate.
I live there
No way!! I gotta visit Hershey sometime in April 😂
Could you do Pepsi next? I've always heard they made much more than drinks but I never knew the exact details
MegaCrasherMusic nope. Taco bell is yum brands with KFC and pizza hut. Fritos, lays, dorittos, ruffles and most chips are Pepsi brands. I the bottled water brands and lot of food. Pepsi has bigger market share than coke.
Joe Smith Pepsi was one of the big players in the start of what became Yum! Brands, and as far as I know are they are the only major fast food places that serve Pepsi Co. products.
itsthatoneguy5 could be. I haven't dug that deep. Just saying what I know off top my head. Could be some sort of "strategic alliance" like ocean spray
Joe Smith yep
I hauled product for PepsiCo. For a super-bowl like 5-6 years ago giants beat the pats ... i thought I was delivering Pepsi but they would load me with gatorade and quaker oats bars like granola bars
I feel like people are getting The Hershey Company, and Hershey Entertainment and Resorts Company confused. In the town of Hershey in Pennsylvania, Hersheypark, Chocolate World, The Hershey Lodge, and other fun things are owned by Hershey Entertainment and Resorts Company. The Hershey Company (the part that makes all of the chocolate) doesn't have much of an affect on the town. Their headquarters is there, and that's about it. The two are separate companies, that both use the same IPs. That's why those things weren't mentioned in the video.
Chocolate World is actually owned by The Hershey Company
Hershey - we need you to collab with Nestle and need unique KitKat flavors like Japan! Please and thank you.
why would you ask Hershey if this vid was not by hershey
@@screechys - Maybe they'll watch it.
The rise and transformation of Toy Biz.
For Cadbury, Kit Kat, and Rolo it's just the States, Canada has other companies making those products.
Alec Kyte Let me guess, Cadbury's making Cadbury's, and Nestle making the other 2.
No, Nabisco make Cadbury.
There's also a Hershey amusement park in Hershey, PA.
Hersheypark is not owned by the Hershey Company. It is owned and operated by Hershey Entertainment & Resorts Company.
The company had its own town with a professional hockey team (AHL) and averages the 2nd highest attendance in the league (9k per game average)
Do a video on the Sherman trust act
Before you said "You snack on Jerkey" all I heard was "You snack on..." Then an ad for resse's peanut butter cups played
I know this was 2 yrs ago, but,
I got an ad for the Nintendo switch
It’s Charlie and the chocolate factory all over again!
Hershey’s isn’t big outside of North America because their chocolate actually tastes like water compared to most European chocolate and it’s barely cheaper.
I’m a rep for Mondelez International in Canada. You NEED to do an video on Mondelez. Message me if you need to consult.
I knew quite a few of those brands were made by Hershey because they're used as ride height categories or incorporated into ride names at Hersheypark.
How weird! This Gold bar has been out for months, but I've never seen it sold in stores....
Angela M I’ve seen it like twice at dollar tree and Target
Hershey's chocolate > Nestle chocolate.
I’m Allergic to peanuts and Hershey’s is the main candy I think of when I think of candy I can have but they own the main thing I think of when I think of candy I can’t have. Just wow
In my year and a half working at a gas station, every person I recommended the Reese's Stick to loved it and came back for more. In this candy lovers humble opinion that candy bar nearly surpassed my lifelong love of the good ole Hershey Bar.
Its 2019 and I live in Asia...
This is the first time I have ever heard of Hershey's Gold and I want it! ;-;
2019... never heard of Hershey's gold
I hope to God they keep those cookie layer crunch bars, I need that in my life so damn bad
They should make a competing company called HimHe’S
Pepsico should be next. Anything made by Pepsi
XtremeTony and Kraft, Albertsons Grocery Stores, GSK, 3M, Disney, AT&T, Marriott Hotels, Holiday Inn,
Hersheys was as big as I expected, they own a theme park afterall
They do not.
Hersheypark used to be owned by Hershey Chocolate Corporation until 1927. That year, the non-food production businesses were separated into its own company (this included the amusement park, the electric company, the water company, the laundry, a nursery, and other businesses), called Hershey Estates. Today, that company is called Hershey Entertainment & Resorts Company.
Still under the Hershey banner and trademark, they own Hershey Park still
I worked for the company (Hershey Entertainment & Resorts Company) between 2001 and 2015. We didn't make chocolate.
The Hershey Company is owned by the Hershey Trust Company, which this video was not about.
The Hershey Trust Company owns The Hershey Company via majority ownership of the public stock.
The Hershey Trust Company owns Hershey Entertainment & Resorts Company through sole private ownership.
These two companies are separate. The businesses were deliberately divided, so, in the event the chocolate company ever failed, it wouldn't take the town of Hershey with it.
So no, The Hershey Company does not own Hersheypark, the Hershey Trust Company does.
And that doesn't even get into the third Hershey Entity, the Milton Hershey School, nor another entity, the M.S. Hershey Foundation.
No not how it works lmao, they use the same brand TM
Prediction: Hersey's Gold will be a flop. Why? Because you can't fool the customer THAT much. A dry pretzel is just a bunch of air surrounded by a bit of crunch, and the inclusion of pretzels into candy therefore represents an attempt to replace a percentage of the candy with air. It's basically the same thing they tried with their cookie-candy and failed, but with even more air. You can replace chocolate with cheaper caramel and nuts and get away with it because people like caramel and nuts. They like crunchy things, but not to the extent that they're going to pay two bucks for a crunchy bar that weighs half of what a same-price solid chocolate bar weighs. After all, you can always buys a bag of pretzels and alternate your snacking.
I have an idea for Hersey: fire your marketing idiots and use the salary and ad-campaign savings to drop prices 50c a bar to start recovering lost market-share.
Hershey's is nice but i prefer cadburys,alot more milky and smooth ^_^
I am surprised this video didnt mention Ronzoni, San Giorgio, and some other pasta brands, Hershey owned Ronzoni from 1990-1999, meaning at the time of the video, it was Hershey owned. San Giorgio was from 1966-1999. In 1999 Hershey spun off all their pasta brands to get cash to expand in chocolate, but still owned a 30% stake in the new company until 2021 when that was fully sold to another company, fully divesting Hershey's from Pasta
what about Mondelez? They make Oreos and Cadbury.
Derp Kang And they bought Kraft in 2012.
Only part of Kraft, Heinz bought most of Kraft.
I work for mondelez we don't own Kraft we used to be kraft we split off some years back.
Who's Elmond Joy?
Pretty sure he's related to Moun Dess. I think she's his cousin
Caught that did ya? 😂
He played sax in Mr. Goodbar's orchestra in the 1940s.
When you notice you live in a town that is famous for candy... at least candy costs less than anywhere else🤷♂️ gotta love Hershey!
BTW...I'm not a fan of Hershey's chocolate...even though I've to Hershey, PA and the the factory...and the park...they use "soured" milk...which can be tasted almost immediately if you know about it...my favorite? Godiva...followed by Ghirardelli...
Anyone else here watching from Pennsylvania

Candy used to cost a lot less back in the day. I am 39 now and can remember candy bars were sold 3 for a $1.00 so roughly .33 cents. It cost now twice as much. I'm sure there are people who can say it used to cost .10 cents.
Thuan Tran inflation
yes .. once upon a time in America a Hershey bar could be bought for 10c or 3 for a quarter/25c .. sugar price supports (mostly for Hawaii) in America were a production issue from the mid 80's on till the domestic Sugar Beet industry broke the Hawaiian Cane market (Hawaii finally closed its last sugar cane factory a couple of years ago) .. availability of Beet sugar has brought America sugar in line with world markets; yet prices for finished goods remain high, as the candy industry has consolidated (less competition) and this video shows its easier to BUY market share than to EARN it.
Do general motors or samsung or volkswagon next
The history is fascinating. Milton wanted to use whole milk to make his candy, so he first built the whole town, including every store you'd need, and the houses that his employees would live in. ..he built all this out in dairy/cow country...so they would have access to the fresh milk from the dairies....then he built the chocolate factory. It was well known that you could not use FRESH WHOLE MILK for candy.. it would not work, I forget why...maybe it would spoil...but his scientists kept on until they figured it out....the history is on the History Channel....The Food that built America...that series is fascinating
People "USED TO MAKE" chocolate milk and ice cream sundaes? Then what the heck did I make last night with ice cream, walnuts and Hershey's syrup?
Hersheys silver?
Made with the freshest of Hershey Kiss Wrappers?
Company Man - Bigger Than You Know
5:12 Actually, in Canada, KitKat is still made by Nestle.
Same with Rolo
Hershey also owned San Giorgio and several other pasta brands under its subsidiary Hershey Pasta. Hershey Foods spun off Hershey Pasta in 1998 to become New World Pasta, now merged with another company as Riviera.
Cadbury = Greatest Chocolate EVER!
What's crazy is I was about to start looking for a new company man video like 3 seconds before I got the new video notification. Lol!
I just think it’s amazing that when you go to the store only about ten names own the entire thing
Coca-Cola

Nestle
P&G
PepsiCo
General Mills
Kellogg’s
Mars
Johnson&Johnson
Unilever
General Electiric
Hershey's gives off serious Willy Wonka vibes, which is funny, because it's not actually a 'Wonka' product
Also side note, Charlie in the Chocolate Factory is one of the best ads of all time, next to My Little Pony.
I'm pretty sure the smoke stacks at least were based off of the original Hershey's smoke stacks, brown with white letters going vertically
Hershey has not only Hershey Foods, but they have two daughter companies. Well, one company and a non profit charity school. They have Hershey Entertainment and Resorts Company, and the Milton Hershey School. I work for HERCo and they have a hand in all of the town of Hershey, Pa. They have an amusement park, around 5 restaurants, 2 hotels, a giant candy store, Chocolate World, a zoo, a garden, a golf course, 2 ice rinks, a stadium, an ice hockey team, a campground, a theatre, and have a hand in our Chipotle, Rite Aid, Duck Donuts, and Tanger Outlets. They are huge and have the backing of Hershey Foods. Milton Hershey School was started by Milton and Catherine Hershey because they couldn't have children. So they started and orphanage for boys. Now it is a boarding school for kids who's parents make less than $15,000 a year. My grandfather went there and it is incredible. They are so rich because not only did Milton leave his fortune to the school when he and his wife died, but a penny from every Hershey bar goes to the school! That's a crap ton of money. Last year, they built and tore down an auditorium so they could stay a non profit. So yah, Hershey is not just Hershey Foods. Just a side note, Mark Hershey Farms, the ones who make the ice cream, while being in Palmyra, a neighboring town, are not Hershey foods! They are different, Hershey doesn't make ice cream that isn't available outside HERCo property.
Your delivery always sounds like this is hard for you to do.
