    Born and bred in America and won’t eat American chocolate - literally tastes like vomit. And I do mean literally - Hershey’s chocolate goes through a process called lipolysis that breaks down their milk some and introduces butyric acid, which gives Parmesan, sour cream and other pungent dairy foods (and vomit) their smells.

      When they perfected the process so it didn’t happen anymore, people stopped buying their chocolate as it ‘tasted funny’ now and they started adding it artificially

      Literally stockholm syndromed into enjoying the flavor of vomit…

      No wonder our country is fucked, it was founded by morons

      Right… Well that’s some insight. Thank you . I heard a rumour that it was down to it being popular during a war where cocoa was in short supply but that makes sense too.
