Awww..never mind CY and CS (which of course is very important to me but you have who to rely on if you eat CS and for that matter chocolate probably contains only CS powdered milk which apparently only we Chassidim consider CY) – you just don’t know what good chocolate is! Milk Munch does NOT qualify LOL – if it is what I think it is, the last time I had a piece is when someone offered it to me and I took it so as not to offend them because they were nice enough to bring enough over to be able to offer it to guests. To put it mildly, I did not want a second one even when offered LOL.
However, it is about time that someone once again breaks the CY cartel and produces good CY at a major plant the way Goldman’s did.
The sad demise of Ahava shows that the community just can’t support a decent (but not particularly high quality, even if it was healthier) CY dairy because such a dairy cannot achieve the proper economies of scale and it is beholden to moisdos and groceries which cannot always afford to pay on time.
What we need is a CY line that is similar in price to CS and is distributed to the major outlets. If CY can be sold as a premium quality product that just happens to be CY and is no more than 5-10 cents a half gallon more than CS (and if gallons are available for big families outside the city who have more room and bigger fridges), it will be ideal.
That will radically change the CY situation and make it easier for more and more people to keep CY. Problem is that it has to be done outside the framework of the haimishe firms and stores; the product must be available to the general public as well.
