The Star product of Hershey’s is always the Hershey’s Kisses which are still high in the market as they are still in demand and the public gets highly attracted to it. Then comes the Cash Cows which are the market generator of the company and these are the milk chocolates. This was the remaining chocolate which gave an identity to the company. Then comes the questionable product of Cookies' n Cream which is not much available n market and their existence become a question mark (Kurie, 2018).

By keeping a precise detail in the views of the products, the market value can be increased tremendously.
