It contains butyric acid as part of a milk preserving process, giving it a hint of sour vomit. I'd rather chocolate tasted like chocolate than vomit.

The Hershey bar was initially produced to be an additive ingredient in a WW2 first aid kit.

That tells you right there what it is. Field rations. Not meant for pleasure eating.

I never got it either until last week when I bought some clearence easter candy.

The kisses I got did have an acidic taste to them and I realized that was what all the vomit complainers were talking about. I never noticed it before though so maybe I just got a bad bag.

I wouldn't call it bitter. I think hersheys is actually pretty sweet. I'd always heard that British candy was crazy sweet though so I'd imagine ours would be more bitter in comparison.

Fucking love toffee Symphony bars though.

I used to buy into the "Hershey's is bitter" meme until a few years ago when I started eating actually bitter 75% solids dark chocolate.

It was fucking delicious. Bitter, but delicious.
I think when us British people say we don't like Hershey's because it's 'bitter', it's not because it's bitter, we just conflate it with that because Cadbury's is much sweeter. Hershey's tastes of something else entirely which is the problem.

[Anonymous No.7567319]

Burger here

Hershey's bars taste fine when you first bite into them, good even, but the after taste really is that of vomit, especially if you don't eat or drink anything after it fucking lingers in your mouth for an hour

I tried some imported German milk chocolate the other day and it was mediocre but no after taste, however after trying both German and Italian dark chocolate I like them much much better than American dark chocolate which is bitter *and* tastes like vomit ffs

I don't have the vomit tasting problem with candy bars like kit Kats or almond joy etc however, this is probably due to the fact that they have different flavors incorporated into it that hide the flavor, or they use some other chocolate idk

Shit stops being chocolate when you start using coconut and soy butters. Hershey doesn't make chocolate, it makes chocolate inspired food stuff, like Kraft does with their "cheese".

Look we talkin about hershey's here which was made to be a cheap and affordable crappy chocolate, and that's what it is... sort of. It's not really that much cheaper anymore.

Stop with the US vs EU bullshit dumbasses. If you don't think you can find really good highest quality chocolate made in the US, you don't know shit about chocolatiers in the US. If you don't think you can find really shitty garbage chocolate in EU, you don't know shit about chocolatiers in the EU.

If my point was that it was just cheaper I could have posted any number of European chocolate brands that are even cheaper than that. What I posted was a specific type that I have tried, which happens to be less than half the price of a Hershey's bar and still tastes much much better. In fact I'd go as far as saying that one tastes like actual chocolate the other doesn't. I can't remember what the Eastern European one was called but it was even cheaper.

[Anonymous No.7571356]

>>7571336
yes

hersheys intentionally uses soured milk because it helped preserved dairy in the early days of industry and then Americans grew accustomed to the taste through wartime chocolate like the D-Bar (which was even worse than regular hersheys because it had to be heat stabilized, lol). veterans came home expecting the taste of sour chocolate and they passed that taste on to their kids. took generations to get out of that

certainly, I agree but Cadbury was such a decent chocolate that was readily available at every newsagent, shop and off license.
Now what do you have as a go to chocolate? Galaxy/Mars tastes/feels like lard to me and Nestle is just sugar and no creaminess.
