I had to look up the egg/football in question:

Yeah, I could see someone being upset. Imagine planning a Super Bowl party and putting out a platter of egg shaped things instead of little footballs.
A reply from the review section a year ago...
so just a corporate non-answer, great.
Do you think a better answer was deserved?
Wow, yeah, even the "out of package" picture shows the design
Terrible first world problem if you ask me.
I definitely agree that this particular "problem" hardly negatively affects anyone, but I'm always glad to see false advertising cases. There should be strict standards across the board when it comes to deceiving customers, even on things like food presentation
Presentation? Nah. Contentand amount sure. But the way a food looks has nothing to do with what it tastes like and it's nutritional content. This right here is idiotic. I never expect chocolate to have the design found on the foil.
Sure it does. When coffee was dyed darker, people thought it tasted more bitter.
The way food looks absolutely affects how it tastes like
Problems should be solved. I don't understand the sentiment. You aren't being asked to do anything.
For all the pain and misery the chocolate industry is responsible for, we should take what we can get under our system when we can.
This sites blocked outside the US.
I GUESS it makes sense if Hershey doesn't sell directly outside the US, so here you go!
Everything about this is wrong.
Lies! I'm in Canada (which is definitely not inside the US) and it works fine.
Sorry you're finding out like this /s
I'm in the UK. I think US news sites block EU residents because of GDPR requiring cookie notices. They'd rather just block access than add a line of code to show a cookie notice.
Probably! I'm just being a pedantic Canadian, annoyed that we keep getting lumped in with the US.
"Access denied"
If you’re a Jets fan, these can just be the horseshit from their playbook instead 😏
