Food had to be lightweight, nutritious and very high in energy; after all, these men were about to invade Nazi-occupied land. As it happened, the one substance that could fulfill all those requirements was a very unlikely item--a Hershey's chocolate bar.

According to Hershey's chief chemist SamHinkle, the U.S. government had just four requests about their new chocolate bars: they had tow eight 4 ounces, be high in energy, withstand high temperatures and "taste a little better than a

The viscous mixture proved too thick to move through the normal chocolate bar manufacturing set up at the Hershey plant, so initially each bar had to be packed into its 4-ounce mold by hand.
As for taste, well, most who tried it said they would rather had eaten the boiled potato.
