Appeal:

"Cherry Blossom is a type of chocolate bar in Canada produced by Hershey Canada Inc.. Hershey used to produce it at its Canadian manufacturing facility in Smiths Falls, Ontario. It is now produced in Mexico.

The candy had been manufactured since the 1890s by the Walter M. Lowney Company of Canada which was taken over by Hershey as a subsidiary brand."

And, isn't Kit Kat a Nestlé brand?

I thought this brand thing was weird, but just looked it up & this is what they consider their brands:

ETA: I’m not sure what Cherry Blossom has to do with this. Your answer was Lowney.

How one defines a "brand" is an open interpretation to me. Like to me, Reese's is a brand, and Reese's Pieces & Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are products.

I would also consider Hershey's a brand, & the chocolate bar & kisses are products.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, it’s a little confusing and I should’ve used Hershey’s site rather than Wikipedia. An example of a poorly-worded and poorly-executed peehs question.

south is clearly the best word to go for if you know all the words. It's mentioned once, and it's buried deep within the song, it's not of huge importance to the "plot" of the song, and it's not stressed or elongated by the singer. Unfortunately 3 of us knew this.

Thanks for the game IBD and congrats sixfour and podium

Twas fun

I thought about saying "south" as well. I think the "south Detroit" kind of sticks out somehow, and south seems better for peehs. Still, pretty odd to have three say it in this sample size.

I have this memory of looking at the IMDB top 100 and being surprised to see Groundhog Day on the list. I'm going to blame it on long-term sleep loss from my 1-year-old.

Thanks IBD, grats podium.
