Aha! Vindication for my belief that chocolate from the U.S.A. literally tastes rancid! Now I know why it tastes like off milk, but not why you guys like it :/

- gedy 3y agoIt's strange but I actually like Hershey's chocolate, even though I've had much better quality chocolates. A Hershey bar seems like something you grab a bite of whenever, but better chocolate feels like too good/rich for that.
- ch4s3 3y agoEhh, only cheap chocolate tastes that way in the US. Even then not all of it, mainly a Hershey’s thing.
- djmips 3y agoWouldn't it be great if cheap chocolate tasted good too?
- jncfhnb 3y agoThen it wouldn’t be cheap
- LargeTomato 3y agoThey want to have their chocolate and eat it, too.
- ghusto 3y agoNot so! There's a lot of snobbery with things like chocolate because adults want to distinguish themselves whilst eating what's considered a "childish" sweet, and chocolate makers aren't exactly going to correct them when they're willing to pay twice the price for that privilege. There's plenty of good cheap chocolate out there (at least here in Europe). You can even get decent stuff at the supermarket; Tony's isn't bad.
- yareally 3y agoYou can usually get expensive chocolate for pretty cheap right after a holiday is over from supermarkets or convenience stores (CVS/Walgreens). I'll buy enough to last until the next big holiday (Xmas, Valentine's, Easter, Halloween).
- Erratic6576 3y agoAffordable luxury for the masses? Isn’t that communism?
- nec4b 3y agoIn communism everything was a luxury, unless you were a part of the elite. They had different stores then the masses.
- ch4s3 3y agoThere is good cheap chocolate, just not from Hershey.
- fred_is_fred 3y agoPlenty of us don’t like it but it’s ubiquitous unfortunately like McDonalds or sliced white bread.
- Spivak 3y agoWait until you find out we also prefer rancid olive oil. One person's moldy cheese is another's delicacy.

- depletedgherkin 3y agoIt's a pleasant tangy taste that's pretty nice if you grew up eating it. Chocolate from other places sometimes feels like it's missing something...
