Hershey's Cocoa makes for unhappy childen? (date unknown) (thelemmy.club)

Since this appears to be a food-themed day on this group so far.

I am unclear on the marketing message I am supposed to take away from this one. I thought it might be about hot-pepper infused chocolate, but I doubt Hershey made anything like that at the time, and in any case, the products on the table are not that.

Is the child unhappy about an unrelated situation we are not privy to, and wants the chocolate for consolation?

He's crying in solidarity with the worker children on the cocoa plantation. Though the fruit of colonial enslavement rings a bitter aftertaste, the sweat of their toil accords a delicious chocolate bar with which to console himself.
