    Chrome you have truly impacted a lot of people's lives in a very positive way and I personally can't thank you enough. Earlier this year I was in there the hospital for a month and a nursing home for 3 months and your channel made all the difference. My son brought my tablet to me and I watched your channel every day. I've been watching since you first started and I rewatched you from the beginning from my hospital bed and the bed and chair during my recovery in the nursing home. Thanks for just being you and bringing light and joy to so many people.

    I worked and managed a DQ for 9 years. I have made so so so many buster bars and dilly bars. Most are made in a factory down here in USA now.
