After Milton Hershey established his chocolate company in 1894, he was determined to produce milk chocolate -- considered a luxury item -- for the masses at an affordable price. In 1900, the classic Hershey bar was introduced, quickly becoming a sensation. Additional chocolate products emerged, including Hershey's syrup in 1926, made first for commercial use, then for home use beginning in 1928.
