"dramatic turn for the worse"
That's supposed to be the butryic acid content. I don't know if Americans are just so used to it that they don't really notice but Hershey's smells just a little bit like vomit which is, I'd say, "a dramatic turn for the worse" for sure.

- captainbland 5y agofwiw I realise that I've actually misread the parent comment here and that the dramatic turn for the worse bit was about the Kraft takeover. Cadbury's doesn't really have this issue at the moment and imo while it's suffered a quality drop it's only really marginal. I think they ruined cream eggs at one point but they seem to have returned to something edible as far as I can tell. That said I'm still uneasy about allowing the sale of a British company with over a hundred years of years of history to a massive foreign conglomerate.
- gwern 5y agoI think very much it's 'used to it'. I had read about there being some butyric acid in Hershey's and this was part of its distinctive taste and shrugged it off, not knowing what that meant; a while later I went to Europe and while there, enjoyed plenty of candy. I came back and a month later bit into a bar and immediately went oh.
