Even when I was a kid, I didn't like those. They'd sit in that Easter Basket until they'd be so hard they could break a window.

He’s a member of my cousins synagogue in Allentown. He’s famous here in Philly for buying the company that made Goldenberg’s Peanut Chews and CHANGING THE RECIPE.

People went nuts and they changed it back. I guess he didn’t learn from New Coke. He’s actually a very nice guy and a philanthropist.
