And it's labelled right on them.

Seems pretty obvious

As a Michigander, I must inform you that Ohioans are typically not what the rest of the country would consider "of intelligence". Hell, most of them are not what I would consider "of teeth".

There are 25 people, more than any other state, who are from Ohio that are astronauts. Ohio is so bad that people are not only leaving it, they leave the whole fucking planet.

What's the only sign of intelligence in Toledo? "MICHIGAN - 5 MILES"

This applies to Oklahoma as well, except the astronaut thing

We don't joke about Oklahoma out of pity.

I heard the only good thing to ever come out of Oklahoma is the musical.

Malley’s does not disclose where they source materials for their chocolates, but they did indicate that their cocoa, milk, and sugar all come from outside of northeast Ohio, bringing a tale of globalization full circle.

Wait, you're telling me they don't use locally grown cocoa beans from Ohio, a place with a climate wholly unsuited toward cocoa production? Who could have known!?

Not sure I understand what's interesting or weird about a company storing ingredients for their product in silo? Lol

I don't know how I feel about milk from a silo. Wait, yes I do. Yeeuck.

This is what passes for a revelation in Ohio. That's why I left 25 years ago and don't miss anything but the orchestra, the art museum, and the salsa at Luchita's.

Albert "Mike" Malley borrowed $500 in 1935, and opened his first candy store on Madison Avenue in Lakewood. The Malley family lived in the back of the building. Their efforts were successful, and by 1949, they opened a second store, also in Lakewood

$500 in 1935 is $11,749.74 in 2025
