<p>Welcome to our club, welcome to our club!

In our first standalone episode in literal months, Julia and Nicole talk about what this episode is NOT about, the historical layers of cake, and the popcorn crimes of Mary Hamilton Talbott. Join us from our flying kitchen as we answer two of life's greatest questions: what is cake, and is it gay?</p> <p>Our theme song is "Red Onions" by Louie Zong, off of his album Vegetable Soul: https://louiezong.bandcamp.com/album/vegetable-soul </p> <p>We're on Instagram @girlslunchpod.

26. Pre-Licked Hershey's Kisses: Hershey, Part 2
<p dir="ltr">We're back for the chocolate-coated conclusion of our Hershey series! Picking back up at the turn of the 20th century, Nicole and Julia chronicle the Hershey Company's history through the Great Depression, two World Wars, and (spoilers) the death of its founder and beloved candy man Milton Hershey. They also ponder the ethics of extreme wealth, chocolate as patriotism, the Hershey Company's relationship with the US government, and (of course!) wacky marketing. Don't fill up on your Ration D starvation chocolate—this episode is CHOC-full (hehe) of cool cocoa trivia!</p> <p>Our theme song is "Red Onions" by Louie Zong, off of his album Vegetable Soul: https://louiezong.bandcamp.com/album/vegetable-soul </p> <p>We're on Instagram @girlslunchpod.
