Hershey sees spike in sales due to GLP-1 weight loss drugs, company says

Updated 3 hours ago
Pennsylvania's Hershey Company says it is seeing a jump in the sales of mints and gum.

They say it is all due to the rise of GLP-1 weight loss drugs.

The company says the sales of its "Icebreakers" mints rose 8% in the first quarter of this year.

Dental experts have linked the drugs to dry mouth, and some have complained of bad breath due to dehydration caused by the medication.
