Do I have to learn the Spanish for Hershey's or can I just guess what's under the stick on label?

Hershey's is Front and Center


On the packaging for their products - they are imported as is and a pasted-over Spanish language label is applied.

Nestles is international and they have many excellent quality Mexican brands like Carlos V for chocolates; dark, dark no sugar (sin azucar), milk chocolate (con leche), white (blanco) are all very high quality and very reasonably priced.

But there is also a most counfoundingly interesting assortment of imported gourmet items that I can only guess are intimidating to regular customers, because they regularly get severely marked down.

For example, I bought some Les Pearls, Lychee Raspberry(sic) Chocolates from Cemoi Chocolatier Francais in a hard- cover lunch bag that I have seen for sale in two-digit dollar numbers elsewhere and I paid less than 30 pesos for one bag. (Glutton's confession, I bought all the bags on the dislay hanger.)
