      Funny enough, I also grew up on super processed chocolate, and I thought I just didn’t like chocolate that much, until I got some real chocolate when I was a teen.

      God, Hershey’s tastes like pain and sadness.

        In an upper middle class european family I often ate swiss chocolate and once my dad went to the us and bought some hersheys for us to taste. / It was like 2 girls one cup in my mouth for my refined european taste buds /s

          Nah man, I’ve eaten those wax candies with the goo inside, they’re awful, but Hershey’s is several steps below.

        ok this conversation was about butter if you fucking come at Hershey’s imma throw hands (I dont like cadburry’s but I dont try to make people feel bad about it!!) lindt is pretty dope. for a second I thought I liked ritter sport but realized nope. I understand hershey’s isnt for everyone and if you dont grow up with it you may not think much of it. however, because I detect you are a gentleman and are wise of the ways of the world: I implore you to try Hershey’s nuggets w/ almonds, hershey’s w/ almonds or even a Mr. Goodbar (which is just hershey’s w/ peanuts).

          I think I’ll just stick to any chocolate that isn’t Hershey’s.

      Chocolate is a big one.

      I’m talking specifically big brands, not chocolatiers, but something like Hershey’s is absurd.

      American chocolate is way too crumbly and oil-without-flavor with some weird mustiness; pretty much every country has better chocolate than the US.

      American to international chocolate is like ketchup on a tortilla compared to a gourmet pizza.
