This shift occurs because manufacturers are replacing expensive cocoa butter with alternative fats like palm oil, which disqualifies the products from the FDA's strict definition of milk chocolate. The hosts warn consumers that "mouth appeal" is being prioritized over traditional ingredients due to rising cocoa costs.

The company's decline is attributed to a 40% drop in U.S. milk consumption since 1975 as consumers shift toward soda, juice, and plant-based alternatives like almond and soy "milk." The loss of local brands like Berkeley Farms is noted as a consequence of the company's financial failure.
