As someone who designs software I spend a great deal of time thinking about how things work. While there are the truly great things like the iPod, there are a huge number of things in this world that don't work well. Last year at my 40th birthday party I was outed! While I love the finer food and flavors, it came out that my standby is PB&J and the requisit chocolate milk. Over the years I've been frustrated by the Hershey syrup spout. It was invariably dirty, and with my children being the other users it was usually gross (not that it slowed me down much). With that background I want to thank Hershey engineers for addressing this issue with their fabulous new top! If my calculations are correct and the typical mom/dad spent 10 seconds a day wiping the top clean this design change will save over 100 years of time per year. I guess it is the little things in life that make a difference.
