Hershey's nearest audiences span candy, salty snacks, fast food, and — most strikingly — professional wrestling, with no single neighbor pulling far ahead of the rest.

The shape is flat: the top 10 scores run from Reese's at 0.98 down to Applebee's Grill + Bar at 0.95, a spread of only three points across ten neighbors. Four of those ten are fellow Sweets brands — Reese's (0.98), Kitkat (0.97), Snickers (0.96), and Klondike (0.96) — so the audience does overlap heavily with its own subcategory. But three neighbors are Food brands: Doritos (0.97), Lay's (0.97), and Pringles (0.97). The remaining three are Restaurants: Little Caesars Pizza (0.95) and Applebee's (0.95) alongside Frito-Lay N. America (0.95) — actually a Food brand, making the Restaurant count two in the top 10. The salty-snack cluster (Doritos, Lay's, Pringles, Frito-Lay) sits nearly as close as the candy cluster, which is the more notable cross-kind finding: Hershey's audience looks as much like a chip brand's audience as a chocolate brand's.

Absent from the top 10 entirely are the Athletes subcategory neighbors that appear deeper in the broader graph — the WWE-adjacent figures who surface prominently further out — suggesting that wrestling fandom is a real but secondary layer of this audience's shape.

The flat, compressed score band signals a broad mainstream consumer audience with no sharp tribal edges — equally at home across candy aisles, snack shelves, and casual dining.
