Episode 23: The Fake Chocolate Scandal

The chocolate industry is quietly changing what's inside the wrapper, and almost nobody's talking about how far it goes. This episode traces "melts in your mouth, not in your hand" back to its real origin - a WWII battlefield, a hidden 20% stake, and the surprising fact that M&M's and Hershey's have been family since 1941.

Then we follow the money into the current cocoa crisis, the Brad Reese/Hershey's scandal, the legal "chocolatey" loophole, and the neuroscience proving your brain tastes the brand more than the bar.
