This narrative about American chocolate tasting like vomit is just marketing from Cadbury. Sadly I only know this from speaking to a food scientist in person and don't recall the details, but it's tiring to see this go around on Reddit, er I mean HN, every few years.
Hershey's does not taste like vomit. Y'all are imagining it after being told by Cadbury that it does.
- pazimzadeh 3y agoYou’re just used to it. It’s extremely obvious if you didn’t grow up in the US.
- Digit-Al 3y agoI'm sorry, but I have to respectfully disagree with you. Some years ago a work colleague went on holiday to America (I'm English) and brought back some Hershey chocolate. At that point I had never heard about American chocolate tasting like vomit, but when I tried it that's what I immediately thought of. I then looked online and found out the reason it tasted like that. Since I'd never heard anything bad about American chocolate at that point it can't be blamed on propaganda.
- dkobia 3y agoI’ve never seen the marketing you speak of from Cadbury and immigrated to the US over 20 years ago. I still can’t stand Hersheys. What horrible chocolate. The only people that like it grew up on it and didn’t know any better, so I understand. I truly hope American palates can rescued from this travesty.
