Oh my Hershey's (at least here in Israel) is positively bad-tasting. It has a horrible aftertaste. I don't understand how Americans can live with it.

- quietbritishjim 5y agoThere's a really good video about that [1]. A quick summary is that the aftertaste is a chemical that's in vomit, so if you're not used to it in chocolate then the chocolate literally tastes of puke. But if you are used to it, from your childhood, then it tastes great. It's also the same chemical that gives parmesan cheese its pungency, so it's not like Americans are alone in liking it in their food. [1] https://youtu.be/J44svaQc5WY https://youtu.be/J44svaQc5WY
- kingcharles 5y agoWhen I was young I dated an American girl who would regularly gift me Hershey's products, which all tasted like it was several years past its expiry date. Since living in the USA I've gradually got used to it, to the point where I actually like it o_O tl;dr: acquired taste
