Don Draper - Hershey Bar honesty

"Honestly the worst problem you've got is your chocolate smells and tastes faintly of Vomit. I think you should call Europe and ask how they do it. Because boys, frankly, you're fucking up bad."

"... It's the childhood symbol of love." And the worst chocolate known to mankind.

If party needs a pooper, i guess.

It was convenient, it was gross, it was American. I read about the way it should make you feel, and if it accomplished that then nobody would buy anything.

Too emotional! Especially for the time. Men were definitely not going to tear up like nowadays in a meeting with a company like this. 😅😅😅. Good show but like Hell on wheels too much crying and emotional distress from men OMG! Stop it

I’ve tested it over the years - not all honesty, authenticity or vulnerability is a good thing, especially in careers. Don’t let misplaced ideals or “wokeism” trick you. It did me and I lost a lot before I learned

Cornholed by the Great Cornholio himself.

Breaking Number one rule of sales: once you’ve closed, shut UP and leave.

Jon Ham is a terrific actor what emotions in one scene.

Hersheys didn’t advertise. That’s another reason this scene worked so well.

Hersheys chocolate taste like dog chocolate if you are European

Well eff me running! I think I’ll have a butter finger…

Gents don't ever be vulnerable or honest, people don't like it even if they say they do. They'll just use it against you

Incredible scene Incredible actor! ❤

Can you say, "over the top""?

I had a Stepdad that I resented but probably shouldn’t have.
Yeah not every boy or girl has a Father and it certainly doesn’t make them Soft. 🙄

Perfectly goes with mcluhans idea of ads are not to sell initially the product, they're to reenforce to the person who already bought the product that they bought the right thing so they'll buy it again

Amazing to think just how shit Hersheys chocolate tastes

Jesus Christ 😂

He should’ve won the account on the spot. Hershey created an orphanage for boys. Read the history! ❤

Damnit Don you've done it again!

My Mom, born in 1924, raised eight children mostly by herself. She loved Mr. Goodbar. I love it, too❤❤❤

That was a shitty pitch

This scene is making me crave a Hershey's bar so bad

Anything that takes your mind off money is verboten in the corporate world. The men from Hershey weren’t sentimental about the fictional story Don told about his father buying him a chocolate bar, they were thinking about what a great story that was to help them sell a ton of candy bars, it was all about the money.

Hersheys. Because if you grow up with butyric acid in your chocolate you don’t know it smells and tastes like vomit.

This scene would have been so much better if one of the guys leaned over to the person sitting next to him and side-mouthed “awkwarddd” 😂

What is sweeter than a brothel? ...Hershey!

God this show was good amazing scripts and Jon Hamm's delivery so good

worst scene in the show's history. unbelievable. unbelievably gay

“Hershey bar honesty”: I really was expecting this to be someone admitting Hershey bars taste like vomit. It’s a mystery to me how anyone enjoys them. That aftertaste is disgusting. 🤢

This hits way too close for me.
I also grew up in a whore house 😢

Is it just me…..or does that level of confession not make you want to employ him all the more?

Was it the truth? It appears to be. Or he’s pulling off one hell of an act.

Hmmm……

Mad Men is all time

This show sucked

I tried watching this show. I really tried. It never stuck. I could not get into it.  
Still don't feel like I'm missing anything.

No feminist outcry this scene? :/

Hershey’s is so crap though 😂 to non-Americans, it literally tastes like vomit… literally

Erugeherurggrhhhvhhh cringe erurgrhrrhrhh i can't don no don stop talking ierhrhrbrurhrgh

Y thou? The candy sux. Condußd.

Great writing; greater acting. That series had more levels than the Empire State Building.

I watched this whole show. Every episode. But watching this scene right here, right now got me fcuked up for a second.

“Hershey’s… the sex maker !“👍😅

bro is sharing way too much. unrealistic unprofessional bullshit that doesn't actually happen.

In the original cut, he interrupts them one more time to say " to be honest, that never happened. I had a loving family and grew up in a happy suburban home ".

I like how even in a starkly honest moment of crisis, Don has the inherent overconfidence to assume a couple of strangers care about his childhood

I have to say this, “your chocolate tastes like vomit”.

These days companies would think Don was playing 4D chess with the second half of that pitch.
