Hershey's to close Scharffen Berger and Joseph Schmidt

The SFist put it best:

Bad news this morning from across the Bay, as big conglomerate Hershey's announced that they're closing the Scharffenberger plant in West Berkeley. This comes, of course, after Hershey made nice with the locals, promising to keep the plant here blah blah blah.

It was bullshit, naturally. Get your tours in fast, people, and stock up. Here's a buck that says in one year Hershey's will release a new "Scharffenberger" line with "improved" ingredients that "cost less" and "taste like feet."
