- jfengel 5y agoButyric acid does smell like vomit, to everybody, not just Europeans. It also smells like butter, which is where the name comes from. Concentration makes a huge difference in smells. Vomit has a higher concentration of butyric acid than butter does. Hershey has a very different flavor profile than most European chocolates, but the butyric acid isn't the issue. It's the whole concoction, a complicated set of processing, flavor chemicals, milk solids, and other things.
