CHARLEBOIS: Canada lets Cherry Blossom melt away

This week, Hershey quietly announced the discontinuation of Cherry Blossom, a cherished chocolate treat and, in essence, a Canadian icon.

While the news has been met with a mix of nostalgia and indifference, the end of Cherry Blossom marks yet another chapter in the ongoing challenges facing food manufacturing in Canada.

I certainly ate a few of these over the years. It was one of those odd cravings.

However it has been too long to remember since I have had one. Oversweet for sure.

Bittersweet end.
