A bad trip down the HERSHEY highway......
It was a big enough bummer for Kenneth Affolter when he was sentenced to more than five years in prison for making pot-laced treats and soft drinks. Now he faces the wrath of a candy giant.
The Hershey Co. has sued Affolter, 40, for giving his marijuana goodies names like Stoney Rancher, Rasta Reese's and Keef Kat. Each came in packaging similar to Hershey's Jolly Rancher, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Kit Kat candies, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Hershey's suit, filed earlier this month in U.S. District Court in San Jose, accuses Affolter of trademark infringement, trademark dilution and unfair competition. The company is seeking $100,000 in damages.
Papers were served on Affolter on Tuesday while he was in a county jail awaiting transfer to state prison.
Affolter's lawyer, David M. Michael, said he was negotiating with Hershey.


Hang on, Kit Kat isnt even a Hersheys original product! They make it under license and use that crappy non melting American chocolate. It wouldnt happen in England! We like our weather cold, chocolate melted, beer flat and weed rolled!
Big up da Peckham massive!

That's interesting, drugs can make a person become mostly creative. It looks like drug stories don't always have a happy ending.
