Surely it’s better than Hershey chocolate
- Macha 4y agoSure, but the problem is in recent years it's gone from three tiers above to one tier above
- explaininjs 4y agoSpotted the non-American! We love our Hershey's, butyric acid and all. European milk chocolates lack complexity IMO. It's akin to claiming Kraft Singles are a better cheese than Parmigiano Reggiano because they don't taste "like vomit". That said, I'd prefer a good dark to either one.

- BenjiWiebe 4y agoThere's Americans that hate Hershey's too. I'm one of them.
- EntrePrescott 4y agoit is… though that bar is really so rock bottom low that it doesn't mean much. In fact, to come think of it, Hershey's chocolate is so abysmally disgustingly bad that I can't think of any chocolate that wouldn't be better.
- Symbiote 4y agoThere was a Soviet chocolate bar fortified with cow's blood, but I've never tasted one. A colleague couldn't remember the taste, as there was so little 'real' chocolate to compare it with in his childhood. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematogen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematogen
- EntrePrescott 4y agoyikes that sounds disgusting. That being said - and while I would, on a philosophical level (being a vegetarian), probably even prefer to eat Hershey's rather than Hematogen, I have no doubt that from a purely gustative point of view (i.e. if I were to taste both in a blind test of different "chocolates"), even that Hematogen would taste better than Hershey's. Hematogen may contain cow blood (which is disgusting if you know what it is you're eating), but Hershey tastes like what I would otherwise only imagine cow vomit to taste like. And one doesn't need to know what's inside to sense the taste.
