Message Board

Hershey’s has a children’s site, called Kidztown, that features a message board that allows users (presumably children) to post questions, one would guess, generally related to chocolate. Some of the questions, however, seem to stray a bit from the subject at hand. And they range from the innocent:
Q: What are nuts made out of ?
A: It depends on what nuts you are talking about? Nuts are usually grown on trees.
To the weird:
Q: Do you have a dog?
A: I have a dog named Lady. She loves to swim and play frisbee. Do you have a dog?
To the absurd:
Q: wILL I EVER MEET THE BACK STREET BOYS?
A: My crystal ball is not responding. :o)
To the entrepreneurial:
Q: do you have to have a reason to fundraise?
A: Our fund raiser information is for non-profit groups.
To the revolting:
Q: why is there white dog hair in the king size reese’s cups?
A: Please call our Consumer Relations Department at 1-800-468-1714

Thanks to Victor F. for the tip.
