The invoice from Hershey was paid and as one of his children I can 
verify that the candy was plentiful on that contract. Every time he 
would come home from Hershey he had a briefcase full...

Check with John Poston, who was called in by Hershey at the time
immediately following the incident. His measurements indicated that 
there
could not possibly be any level of concern. After much pleading to 
suggest
some kind of action, John indicated that some plastic could be 
deployed if
they desired, and was reworded with a gracious supply of assorted 
candies
to take home. ( I assume his invoice was also paid.)
