I stopped eating Hersheys when they replaced cocoa butter with PGPR (polyglycerol polyrisinoleate). I hope the CEO got his big bonus for that awful decision. Maybe he thought Nestle would buy them out.

Hmm? PGPR didn't replace cocoa butter and a lot of Hershey's candy (including the standard chocolate bar) still uses cocoa butter as the fat.

Some of their bars use palm oil (namely all the "white" candy bars as it can't be called white chocolate without cocoa butter), but PGPR is not a replacement fat.

Fun fact they did use pgpr for a time found it to mess with the recipe too much and since stopped using it.
