Mexico is at the end of the rainbow

Pot of Gold chocolates. A Canadian staple. I gave my mom, my dad, my teachers, my grandparents, well... probably several dozen boxes over the years growing up.

And in fact, LB's grandma was buried in a special commemorative tin of Pot of Gold chocolates.

The Moir's chocolate factory in Nova Scotia - makers of Pot of Gold chocolates - closed for good on Friday.

Here's an excerpt from a Toronto Star article:

As part of its restructuring, Hershey also announced the impending closure of its plants in Ontario, Quebec and the U.S., and the construction of a new plant in Mexico.

Ohhhhh... closing plants in Ontario, Quebec and the U.S. but building a plant in Mexico. Got it.

But here's more...

"This change is part of our broad supply-chain transformation, and as part of this we are shifting production to our manufacturing partners in Canada, as well as Hershey's manufacturing facility in Monterrey, Mexico," company spokesman Kirk Saville said this week.

Read between the lines. Remember the commercial? It goes something like this:

"We all know where the rainbow ends. We are told it's a Pot of Gold."

I think the new lyrics are...

"We all know where the rainbow ends. We are told it's Mex-i-co..."
