Encore: Hershey's vs Mars | Chocolate Town | 1

It’s 1886 and in New York City, a young confectioner called Milton Hershey is desperately trying to save his business.

But he’s about to get a visit from a man who will change his fortunes forever, paving the way for him to introduce America to the joys of milk chocolate… and build a sweets-fueled empire.
