Damn. It sure is dusty in here.

We hear plenty about the evils of the Nazis, but tend to ignore the hell that the Soviets inflicted on German civilians.

It probably had more cocoa and less corn syrup back in the '40s.

Candy Bombers is a good book

This is the origin story for Augustus Gloop.

*sniff* Cripes! It wasn't even that long of a story! I need a drink or something.

On the less hormonal side, it's stuff like this that changes lives. Reminds me to move forward on a couple of volunteer projects I haven't asked the right questions about yet.

Dammit subby, now I'm all teary eyed.

\Hero indeed

your right coolest damn story i ever did hear

Is this the candy story over Berlin

Walker: Suddenly out of the mist came a parachute with a fresh Hershey chocolate bar from America. It landed right at my feet. I knew it was happening but couldn't believe it was for me. It took me a week to eat that candy bar. I hid it day and night. The chocolate was wonderful

You sound young and a little ignorant.

I bit into a pepper.

Can I please stop crying now?

/so much for "Ugly Americans" being patently true

carrion_luggage: The kids especially enjoyed the Reich's Pieces.

Racialism and Nationalism. Two great tastes that taste great together^TM

I'm going to guess that 60 years ago it contained actual chocolate.

And we all know that helping the Germans is always a good idea..

Now there is a movie I'd pay to see.

i didn't think they used HFCS in the actual chocolate bars.

/i could be wrong, that shiat is in everything

scottydoesntknow: He pulled up about 300 yards above our heads, it was one of the coolest airplane moves I've seen, mainly because he was doing it at us.

//Badass story in the article.

Mine isn't as cool as that, but I went to a little airport open house for the first time ever last year. Being a chick I was all "I don't get why this is cool, but airplanes are neat and we'll walk around and look at them."

Fast forward 30 minutes to the actual AIRSHOW, and I'm getting a crick in my neck and everyone around me is probably sick to death of hearing me go "OMG! Look at that! What's that? Holy cow that's so awesome!" :P

Is there an Internet rule that says no matter how positive a story is, that there's always going to be some total douchebag posting in the comments?

Really? You're going to troll *this* thread?

Very rarely do I actually pity anonymous Interweb folk. /golf clap

I was slicing onions.

Does anybody know why did the powers that be allowed Germany to continue to exist after two world wars...

/methinks, they didn't deserver a third chance
//it could have been nicely partitioned among France, Poland, Czech, and Austria...

I hope you get really hungry sometime. Hungry as in nothing to eat for two weeks--not a damn thing. Report back on how gloriously wonderful you think that Hershey Bar is when one falls out of the sky in front of you. You don't seem able to think outside your apparently comfortable situation and understand what these German kids were going through at the time of the story.
We have lots of hungry kids right here in America. I recommend you go find some of them and give them food. You will find it to be a supremely uplifting experience. Buy them some shoes while you're at it. If you open your eyes, you won't have to look far to find people in need.

That's why Hershey's chocolate was only around for a year or two, because it's so disgusting.

wut?
