Mars-Wrigley marriage leaves the Hershey camp looking to tie their own knot.

When the world's largest chocolate maker joins forces with the world's largest gum maker, you can see how the competition might get a little nervous. Family owned confectionery pros, Mars Incorporated recently agreed to a takeover of the gum gods, William Wrigley Jr. Co., for a combined annual sales figure of $27 Billion! Thats a lot of Snickers bars! This news sparked an immediate interest in Hershey Co. by London based company, Cadbury Schweppes, who attempts to put up strong a fight in whats looking to be an all out candy war! Hershey Co., makers of such delectable delights as Reeses' peanut butter cups and Kit Kats, have said they are open to the possibility of a merger with Cadbury. We will have to wait and see if Hershey bars and Cadbury creme eggs have what it takes to stand up to the apocalyptic candy powerhouse duo of M&Ms and DOUBLEMINT! Dum Dum Dum!
