I must admit that I have always preferred galaxy to Cadbury but my first choice every single time is Lindt chocolate then Belgium and swiss. I'm sorry America but I hate your chocolate yes I'm British in fact I'm Scottish
The first mass produced chocolate bar was 'Fry's Chocolate Cream', first produced in England by Joseph Fry in 1866. That's 34 years before Hershey supposedly "invented" mass production. Hershey wasn't even second with both Nestle and Lindt beating him to it by more than decade.
They can't even get their own history correct - Oldsmobile were using mass production methods five years before Henry Ford developed his moving production line. @@dwaggys3322
I had a Hersheys bar back in the 80s and I hated it! Joseph Fry invented the first chocolate bar in the mid 1800s here in the U.K. (you’re welcome! 😜😂). Give me a bar of British chocolate (or Belgian/Swiss) anytime over a Hershey bar….apart from Peanut Butter Cups - they’re gorgeous! 😂 💚🧡💚🧡
That’s due to any Cadbury made in USA is actually manufactured by Hersheys. Our uk Cadbury is completely different. When I lived in the US I couldn’t eat the chocolate it was awful.
Now now , what happened is that Cadbury's signed a deal with Hersheys to make their chocolate because they had all the distribution sorted but Hersheys got the American government to ban Cadbury from directly importing to the USA but these days with American tourists coming to the UK and tasting the real Cadbury chocolate supermarkets and independent shops are importing it , BUT you must read the back of the bar to make sure it's made in the UK
Actually, the painful truth is that in the US, Cadbury's is made with cocoa butter as the fat, while in the UK, those guys get delicious palm and shea butter added . -YUM!? Basically. more cocoa in theUS version, more smooth, creamy emulsified veg oil in the UK.
@@michaelcarey9359Isn’t Cadbury owned Hershey? To be fair it’s not the best example of European chocolate. Just like Hershey its liked in the UK because it’s what they are used to but better chocolate is also easy to buy.
From my European perspective: UK chocolate tastes equally bad. Cadbury and Hershey are cheap mass produced garbage. Just like Milka and I would claim, even many products of Lindt are average at best.
You just go to the cheapest discounter in Germany or Austria and buy the cheapest no brand name chocolate bar out of their well assorted chocolate shelf - and no matter how cheap, it will be better, tastier, than any US brand. So NO, ANY chocolate is NOT better than no chocolate.
I don't know.. Recently, "the cheapest chocolate" you can get is barely chocolate.. Those are just vaguely chocolate-y sugar bars.. I remember liking one super cheap brand when I was little, but when I tried getting it recently, it got so much worse... even cooking chocolate that often used to be 60-70 cacao is around 40 these days...
Completely agree. You can get €0.60 bars of dark chocolate that taste like the Holy Spirit compared to the cancer-inducing hellstorm Americans are used to.
Make sure you get UK produced Cadburys. You said you couldn't tell the difference between Hersheys and Cadburys, that's because US Cadbury bars are made by Hersheys, who try their hardest to make sure UK produced bars never find their way into US stores.
Correct, Hershey had an agreement with Cadbury's years ago, to use Cadburys recipe, and Cadbury could sell their chocolate in America. Hershey reneged on the deal, and stopped Cadbury from selling their chocolate in America. This is why British Cadbury's chocolate can't be found in America, only in specialty import warehouses, where it's pretty expensive.
@@mikemcsweeney4753 Yeah, Belgian and Swiss chocolate are among the best in the world. Belgian has a special place though for me because I went to a Belgian chocolate shop in Belgium and have had the first hand experience. It was the best chocolate I have ever consumed and it was designed to look like a video game controller so it was that much more awesome.
@@mikemcsweeney4753 I've never thought Belgian (or Swiss) chocolate was really that special. Okay it's far nicer than American chocolate (what little I've tasted of that) but that's not exactly difficult. Cadburys is lovely, but something like Green & Blacks is far nicer, and Guylian (a Belgian) chocolate is really quite unpleasant.
First time I tried Hersheys was a Hershey Kiss in New York and I have no problem in saying it was one of the worst tasting things I've ever had 🤢🤢 I ate it though because it was a little welcome gift from my new Landlord and I didn't want to offend them😊😊
As a former British soldier I trained with the US army on several occasions. I tried Hershey bar once but thought it had gone off. They gave me another one, still tasted the same. Another GI gave me a Bud beer to take away the taste 😮. It tasted even worse,Bud tasted ice cold and with a tinny metallic taste. Hardly any alcohol 😢. Kraft recently bought Cadburys and lowered the cocoa content ... a little like Hershey now 🥴. You should try the British Galaxy chocolate.
Galaxy's the kind of chocolate that is so melty that it feels like you, the world around you, and every problem you've ever had, is melting away with it.
As a Dane I will say this: there is nothing like Belgian or Swiss chocolate. Nothing else comes close, it is out-of-this-world good, smooth, rich and creamy. Yum!
@@christerjakobsen8107 like our austrian chocolate, norwegian is definitly a good quality chocolate, but swiss chocolate is world famous and i never heard anyone bragging about using "real norwegian chocolate" in their bakery while it is common for swiss because it is an expensive quality feature.
@@Vittrichwell i prefer the german chocolate stuff usually, but I also think most of Europes stuff is much better compared to American stuff anyway. The only thing I wish I could get my hands on for once would be fresh tuna. Not frozen, not canned tuna (for me canned tuna reminds of cat food 😂)
Not quite true. Food laws are only strict in Europe for foriegn imports. If you're a meat eater and lived in the UK or most European countries for atleast the last 11 year's there's a high likelihood you unwillingly ate horse meat... See the 2013 Horse Meat Scandal. Food produced here in the UK constantly get recalled to Supermarkets on a weekly to monthly basis for reasons like metal, plastic and glass contamination, to mislabelling nut products and the more sinister such as having things like rodent parts and horse meat in your food.
@@-_-DatDudebut meat is meat I have no problem eating it the problem the USA has is they use over 1000 chemical in food that are illegal in the rest of the world due to them being really bad for you .... lets not forget the same country banned kinder eggs due to safety but also has the highest stat for children being killed with guns
@@Shroudblur You're half right we are better than the US but only barely. Its not enough for us to gloat. If the standards in the US are a D grade, we are only a C- tbh. I've had a lot of nad experiences to where I'm super OCD when it comes to food quality and food hygiene. I'm so jaded by the poor standards that I'm now vegetarian and no longer order takeaways anymore regardless of the financial hard times. On takeaways... I don't know were you live but in urban places in England and maybe Europe too, it's totally common for restaurants to serve their food in dark kitchens/portakabins which has very low standards when it comes to health and safety, as well as hygiene.
As a brit, I tried hersheys kisses for the first time recently and I rlly couldn't understand why it tasted so much like a mix of cheese and throw up.... I thought it had gone off but apparently not!😅
Did you try Cadburys in the UK? Hersheys make the stuff they sell as 'Cadbury' in the US. That may be why there wasn't much difference if so. Love your videos.
I spent many years working to and from the UK to the USA and the first thing I always tasted when given American chocolate was the same taste as vomit. It's a European tastebud thing.
The video seemed to give the impression that the first chocolate bars were made by an American & produced by Hershey's. The first chocolate bar in the World was produced by Fry's in the UK. Cadbury's chocolate is far superior to Hershey's. The Cadbury's factory is from where the book (made later into movies) 'Charlie & the Chocolate Factory' came from. In 1964 British author Roald Dahl wrote the book based on schools near the Cadbury's factory receiving 'tester' confectionary. Quote Wikipedia: "The story was originally inspired by Roald Dahl's experience of chocolate companies during his schooldays at Repton School in Derbyshire. Cadbury would often send test packages to the schoolchildren in exchange for their opinions on the new products." 🇬🇧❤🇺🇸
@ruthbriggs5372 He's doing a prequel to the Gene Wilder film, so he's really cast as a young Gene Wilder. The question should really be why Hollywood cast so many Americans in the 1971 original, but that's no real surprise is it...
I thought I had got an "off" batch when I bought two Hersheys in America. Many years later I could buy them in the UK and it still tasted "off" . That was one long batch or Hersheys always tastes like it had gone off.
As a British child, I was so excited when my dad came home from a work trip in the states with a Hershey bar for each of us. Damn they were so disappointing 😂 I’ve never tasted viler chocolate in my life (and I’ve eaten a lot 😂) Our chocolate is creamy and delicious on the whole ☺️ However, I bow down to the chocolate masters - the Belgians. Now if you want the best then that’s where to go! 🙃
Once I've tasted american chocolate and it was just disgusting. The only thing near chocolate that was THAT bad, was a chocolate-like product (that was it's official name!) available in my country during communism.
You could hardly get confectionary at all in Britain during the war, due to sugar rationing. Can we give Cadburys a big👍🏼for giving their factories over to munitions manufacture.
The first time I had some Hershey's chocolate I thought it had gone bad as it tasted vile, a few months later I tried it again from another shop and like before it was disgusting! It really did have a vomit taste to it. I ended up googling to see if anyone else had the same experience and sure enough there was loads of people, and then I found out the reason why. So yeah I love chocolate but not Hershey's.
When I was a kid I went on and on at my mum to get me a Hersheys bar. One day she gave in and got it for me, even though it was a ridiculous price. Biggest disappointment ever. It tasted like there was something wrong with it and I couldn't eat more than one bite because it made me feel sick. Found out why as an adult 😅
I bought some Hershey's in Asda, excited to check it out after hearing Americans rave about it, and instantly thought it tasted like sick. This was before I'd heard anyone say the same thing. Crazy how different it is to just about any chocolate made in the UK
I'm from Finland and I got a valentine chocolate box from my American friend. It was so awful, tasted like vomit🤢🤮 I could never tell him the chocolate flew straight into a waste bin🙈
The EU once threatened to stop the UK marketing their product as chocolate because it's chocolate ingredients were too low. Continental chocolate is generally better.
@@skylined5534 Yeah it was actually aimed at just some UK and Ireland companies that used more vegetable fats. The EU courts actually ruled that the ban by a few member states was illegal (mainly Spain and Italy) when even France and Belgium had accepted the UK/Irl chocolate was fine. I find there's a lot of snobbery over chocolate, especially with the Belgium and Swiss chocolate, as it's obviously their big 'thing' (Guylian is actually pretty low for cocoa solids for example) - while they produce some great chocolate I've had poor chocolate from both countries too, and no-one seems to include the likes of Hotel Chocolat or Green and Blacks.
I bought a king-size Hershey's the first time I went to the USA. 1 piece and I spat it out my kids spat out their 1 piece too. The rest of the bar went in the bin. It's inedible to a non-American! It tastes worse than the chocolate decorations you hang on your Christmas tree if you leave it for a few years!
I went to Hershey Theme Park in Pennsylvania. I'm Irish and they gave us some free Hershey's kisses. I tasted two and promptly threw up with how awful they tasted. I couldn't get the taste of them out of my mouth the whole day. The guys with us got two or three bars to eat. An hour or two later they were having serious stomach problems so much so the doctor was worried they could become dehydrated. Hershey's chocolate is disgusting even their white chocolate is sickly sweet compared to milky bars. It's so undigestable it's like someone who is lactose intolerant drinking whole milk.
I lived in the US for two years back in the days before Cadbury was available anywhere over there (even if you do find Cadbury's there now, it's a different recipe to the UK version). Anyway, I actually lost a li'l weight initially coz I couldn't stomach the vomit taste of US chocolate. My US friends thought I was was just being a stuck up Brit, but now I send them every video I find on the subject.
When I was a kid I lived in the British county of Suffolk, we had several USAF bases nearby, my mum worked on a couple of these bases and we had several American friends. One Christmas we went to one friends home for dinner and they had a load of "candy" in bowls, this might be the only Christmas ever that I didn't eat any sweets, I tried a couple including a Hershey's bar and Oh My!! not good at all.😉
...You can absolutely get hershey's outside the US. i live in a european country, and hershey bars are available in most larger stores. They barely get bought, ofc, cause they taste bad (and also are more expensive than local chocolate, since they are imported), but they are absolutely available.
The American wife of one of my colleagues wanted to be nice and gifted our office a box of Hershey's kisses. The reactions were unanimous: "Stale", "Tastes like vomit", "rancid", "rotten and "spoilt". Everyone spit it out and noone would even consider taking a second bite.
The first time i came to the uk to live from my native American Choctaw nation i had a bar if chocolate and it was great better taste and really enjoyed it
I always think that American chocolate has the same texture and taste of cheap cooking chocolate. Cadbury is ok but give me Galaxy chocolate every time 😋
@@lizvickers7156 I agree. I went off milk chocolate in my teens and only eat dark chocolate now (rarely). I *never* liked white chocolate and went off caramel flavoured chocolate even before milk chocolate. Give me some good quality liquorice any day.
@@avaggdu1 white chocolate is a scam. they can call it "chocolate" because of the 20% cocoa butter in it, but cocoa butter is just fat and has none of the igredients of real chocolate, also it is the cheapest part you can produce with cocoa. So its more like a white fat bar than a chocolate bar and thats the reason why it melts in your mouth so smoothly.
Coming from Australia, I grew up eating mainly Cadbury or Nestle chocolate. When I went to the U.S. I tried a few chocolates and didn't like them at all. The only one I could cope with was Ghirardelli, that tasted similar to Nestle. All of the others tasted....off. Reece's Pieces isn't too bad, only because the peanut butter overpowers the awful chocolate
I'd always seen Hershey's chocolate advertised in comics and stuff (Brit here) so was really keen to try some when a friend brought some Hershey's Kisses back from the States. Oh dear. Pretty much inedible, and that vomit taste really comes through. British chocolate is good, but even we have to doff our caps to the Belgians.
Thank you for this video. I have been trying to explain to my American friends why i don't like the chocolate over there but they just don't get it. This should explain it perfectly to them.
When I spent 6 months in America we used to "trade" UK chocolate with the hotel staff for the discounts they could get (mainly fast food). I tried American chocolate twice (to check if the first time was a bad batch), it was disgusting and did have a strong vomit taste. Never again.
Fun fact about Toblerone Chocolate, it can no longer state that it's a swiss chocolate because it violates the Swissness Act. Another fun fact: Who's to blaim for that? The U.S.A. company that own Toblerone.
When I was young I moved to USA for 3 years. Back then I did not know that there could be differences in chocolate. I assumed that they would all taste the same, That is until I bought Hersheys. I had been eating Cadburys and Nestles all my life up until then. All our family simply hated the taste of Hersheys.. My family back home used to send me rescue boxes of chocolate every 6 months or so.
Yes, Cadbury's *do* make a chocolate bar with peanut butter in. It's called Star Bar. However, the peanut butter isn't immediately obvious because of the other ingredients. Star Bar is one of my favourites and it's a bar I'll actively look for when I'm out shopping. Hershey's chocolate smells vile - very much like vomit. I think I'd rather try to eat my own feet over Hershey's!
Cadbury's chocolate in New Zealand (now made in Australia) is definitely inferior to the local Whittakers brand, probably due to a perception here that Cadbury's recipe is more "American". Sales of Whittakers have soared since the Cadbury factory in Dunedin closed. Yum!
I would recommend any one around the world should try Whittakers if they get the chance . It is the best commercial chocolate available bar none. I like the dark ghana 72% cocoa fruit and nut. Something in their range will become your new fav.
I work in a high-end chocolate shop here in the UK; trust me, you would DEFINITELY taste the difference between our chocolate and your Herscheys and other American brands! Oh, and if you do want to taste some Cadbury chocolate to compare and contrast, you'll have to make sure it's from the British factories, since the American branch of Cadbury uses the same process as Herscheys with their Cadbury chocolate. (Of course, if you really wanted to try some EXCELLENT chocolate, I could send you some of ours, if you have a postal address/P.O. Box address I could use. 🙂)
Nice that you made the effort to spell 'humour' correctly ( LOL 😀). You can blame Noah Webster (who was very anti-British) and decided to rewrite the 'dictionary' (as in Merriam-Webster), following the War of Independence. He is also responsible for Americans spelling colour with no 'U' or theatre as theater... etc. He wanted to 'simplify' spelling so changed 'plough' to PLOW. Mind you, some Yanks didn't like certain changes suggested, and they NEVER got accepted - such as MASHEEN for machine! He really wanted to cut ties with Britain... 😎
@@stewedfishproductions7959 That's another reason why our chocolate tastes better. It has full flavour. U can tell there's something missing from the flavor of their chocolate. U can't go wrong with our humour either, but their humor's often lacking!! >XD
I don't recall ever trying American Chocolate before and I have seen Hershey Bars in the shops but I dare not buy one just in case they really do taste of vomit.
I had the -pleasure- misfortune of tasting some Hershey's once, and I can honestly say even the dirt-cheap Aldi own-brand chocolate is way nicer. Love your videos, by the way. If you want to try Cadbury's, make sure it's the stuff produced in the UK; the US one also gets the lipolysis treatment.
My personal favourite chocolate is Swiss chocolate from the Lindt company, and I went in person to Belgium and tried their chocolate and I still prefer Swiss as Belgian chocolate tends to be more of a mix of all three types of chocolates but Swiss chocolate melts in my mouth is overall the better one in my opinion. (my fav type of chocolate is milk chocolate from them btw)
Be very sure you want to go down the 'Learn About American Food' road. You know those scary Nepali mountain roads? Yeah, it's one of those, sorry 😁. If you've only tasted Cadbury bought in the US then I'm afraid you haven't tasted Cadbury. Although to be fair our quality has decreased since Kraft bought them, Creme Eggs haven't been the same. Also, the rest of Europe would question if Cadbury was even proper chocolate. 😂
Just have to say... this is the best new channel I've found for ages. And, the best 'reaction' channel, ever. 👍 And due to the quality of the channel, that's also attracted quality commenters, too. 👏
I was in the USA for 5 months and I just completely stopped eating chocolate. I tried like 4 or 5 different types they all tasted bad. the only one I could stomic was Snickers, but that still tasted weird. I assumed it was because you used corn syrup instead of sugar. I had like 5 bars over my 5 months stay, (if you are a women, you know chocolate becomes almost irresistible 1 time pr month), and snickers was the only 1 I could tolerate more than 1 bite of. Probably because there is a lot of things in it that isn't milk so the taste doesn't come out so strong. But yeah, if you are European and want to cut down on your chocolate consumption, stay a few months in the USA and you be cured.
In the UK (and I think in the rest of Europe) we have very strict food laws where not only does the product need to contain a certain amount of the raw material for the name of the product to be legally named as such. But some foods / drinks have to be grown and / or produced in a certain region, this is called Protected Geographical Indication For example: A beef burger in the UK must contain a minimum 62% beef to be called a beef burger. And famously real champagne is only made in the French champagne region, the USA has a legal loophole that some can bypass this and call their product champagne but we know it's really not the same.
I¨m from Sweden and when I was in th US I bought a Hearshey's bar, but I threw it away because I thought it was old and had gone off so I didn't want to eat it.
I grew up in Germany but lived in the States too. Hershey is probably one of the worst chocolates in the world. If you compare it to a standard German chocolate like Milka or Rittersport it tastes disgusting. Try to get your hands on Mathez Truff d'Or. It costs about 25$ in Europe and is by far the best chocolate I ever tried. Doesn't compare to anything made in the States.
Cadburys is a pale imitation of what it once was. Kraft/Mondelez (?) bought it and just removed much of the chocolate and continues to reduce the size of the bars for more profit. Try Hotel Chocolate when in UK or Belgian chocolate if possible as that is the best.
Chocolate bars sold in Canada traditionally used British Cadbury type chocolate flavour profile. Many Hershey products sold here in Canada use a diffenet recipe than those in the US. They leave out the sour milk flavour in most of chocolate they sell here.
Try Belgian chocolate or any artisan chocolates in the UK or Europe. Cadbury's milk pales into also ran status. I did try chocolate in the US years ago. I had to spit it out.
first time i tried a Hershey bar in the UK i gagged, i thought it was sour and had gone off. it is absolutely disgusting... probably because i had grown up eating the superior Cadbury chocolate as well as other European brands.
First (and only time) i tried hershey's, i genuinely thought it had 'turned' in the heat. I'd been given a sort of assortment box as a gift, and the whole lot ended up in the bin!.
I was shocked when i tasted American chocolate; it really does literally (and I'm not using the word 'literally' lightly) taste like vomit.. I challenge any American to try milk chocolate for a month, and then go back to that vomit they call chocolate.
I have to say American chocolate tastes like plastic. When I went to America it also drove me mad that they don't have the tax on the price of items you are going to buy in shops advertised and you feel like an idiot when taking it to the counter to pay and realising you need to pay more.
Cadbury was bought by an American company, maybe Heinz? They immediately lowered the cocoa percentage and we certainly noticed it!!!! The Cadbury chocolate we now have is not too different to our supermarkets own brands, but still a lot better than your Cadbury chocolate.
Hershey bought Cadbury some 10 years ago, and since then the quality of Cadbury's chocolate has been declining. Luckily we can still get Lindt and other European chocolates, so rarely have to resort to Cadbury's. A particular favourite is Tony's Chocoloney - Dutch
Found Hershey's here in Sweden a couple of years ago. "Wow, finally some American made Chocolate!" I thought (we have other brands but they are all license made here in Europe). No, it was... actually not far from vomit taste, now that I think about it. Did not finish it either but tossed it out the car window. I love Finnish and Swiss made chocolate the most.
It's not, but it's head and shoulders better than Hershey. Not Cadburys you'll find in the US though, that's all made by Hershey, who fight tooth and nail to keep UK Cadburys off the shelves.
"Henry Fords production line" came from the textile industry that beat him by about a century... It also created punched cards and rudimentary programmable manufacture.
I hope you sat your mother-in-law down and had a heart-to-heart conversation about why she tried to feed vomit to you. It’s important to have open communication with the ones we love, even when they try to poison you❤️
I had a hershey bar once, it tasted so bad lol, I remember saying at the time it had a vomit-like after taste, it's kind of good to see that be confirmed and it wasn't just me.
I always noticed that weird taste that American chocolate had as I have spent my whole life eating european chocolate, but I think the people going crazy over it are either looking for something to complain about or are just being dramatic. American chocolate is a bit sour, but it's perfectly palatable and I can see why those more familiar with it would absolutely love it.
Euro chocolate is very strict, watch the swiss and belgians argue about foreign chocolate not being labeled as chocolate because it lacks the REQUIRED amount of cocoa.
My first trip Stateside, the first thing my wife did was purchase a Hersheys bar as she’d been hyped up to try one. She took one bite and launched it straight into the bin😂😂😂. Regarding peanut butter chocolate bars…..try and get your hands on a StarBar (Cadbury). It has the chocolate, peanut butter, caramel and crispy biscuit and represents the absolute pinnacle of human achievement 😂. Thank me later.
I should also point out that we should have known better as the warning signs presented themselves on the flight out of the UK, as there was an American gent loading up in duty free with Galaxy bars, saying it’s the best chocolate he’s ever had in his life and we’re stood there thinking “really?? Galaxy?!”
Can't blame this on Hitler I'm afraid. These tech advances happened before his time. This is Hershey and Henry Ford's advancements. So this one is purely on America.
Beginning of 2000s the french wanted to rename british chocolate, VEGGIE CHOC, because the brits used more vegetable oils (maybe coco butter) compared to french cacao chocolate. Of course some journalists took a taste test in Paris, comparing brit Mars bar to french Mars bar. The results were (journalists truth) 8 out of 10 french preferred brit Mars bar because it was smoother.
Fry produced the first chocolate bar way before Hershey. I’ve had American choc and found it overpoweringly sweet compared to Cadburys which was creamier rather than sweeter. Also,with the American chocolate,the aftertaste is quite nauseating,leaving a sickly greasy coating around your mouth. British/European chocolate is far better.
Hershey didn't invent mass produced chocolate - just as Ford didn't invent the production line .... Hershey chocolate tastes foul ... and I like high cocoa chocolate which IS bitter ... hershey chocolate tastes of vomit ... but so does Parmesan cheese, and I like that It's so low in chocolate flavour that it's technically cheese outside the USA ... Cadbury is now an American company .... and they have started making their products cheaply ... so don't assume they are European ... most of us don't like it much anymore
When I first went to NY I was eager to taste your chocolate, as Greek that was a BIG disappointment, I was looking for European brands to make up for my loss living in NY. Nothing can beat the taste of ION chocolate with almonds, NOTHING! Best mass produced cheap chocolate ever. Now Im buying cacao from UK and OMG Im in love best Cacao I have ever tasted.
American chocolate tastes like cheap bargain buy, supermarket own brand chocolate. I remember when we were younger we were sitting in my friends house there was a group of us smoking, about 12 or so. His gran brought him back a bag of hersheys chocolate from her trip to America. There was tons of the stuff. We were all munchied and said to my friend crack open the munchies. Let’s try the swag. Not one person in the group liked it, there was people saying it burned the throat, I was one of them, it’s tastes like cardboard, it’s rank it’s disgusting. It doesn’t even melt is breaks down a in to a powdery mass it feels like. It got slaughtered and were saying things like we would even give it to the homeless, they would give us it back. The whole bag remained untouched and thrown to the side. It was left there and used as a prank to say give this to X and tell him it’s nice to watch his reaction. It was always “this is disgusting” or “is this out of date” 😂😂 If a group of stoned kids don’t eat a bag of chocolate then you know something is wrong with it. 😂😂
First time I tasted Hershey's, I assumed it had gone off. No, American chocolate is not better than no chocolate and it does taste of vomit.
Lmao, tell him how you really feel Helen 😂
Cadbury Chocolate, since bought out dies not taste the same. I've turned To Swiss and Belgium Chocolate.
I must admit that I have always preferred galaxy to Cadbury but my first choice every single time is Lindt chocolate then Belgium and swiss.
I'm sorry America but I hate your chocolate yes I'm British in fact I'm Scottish
My experience too!
That is it. Spot on. I was trying to think what Hersheys tastes like. Just like chocolate that had gone beyond its used by date.
The first mass produced chocolate bar was 'Fry's Chocolate Cream', first produced in England by Joseph Fry in 1866. That's 34 years before Hershey supposedly "invented" mass production.
Hershey wasn't even second with both Nestle and Lindt beating him to it by more than decade.
You must understand how some Americans want to take credit for lots of stuff they created/invented (which they did'nt). Not sure why.

American Cadbury's has the same toxic milk in it, because Americans like that. If you taste British Cadbury's, you will taste a huge difference.
That’s due to any Cadbury made in USA is actually manufactured by Hersheys. Our uk Cadbury is completely different. When I lived in the US I couldn’t eat the chocolate it was awful.

From my European perspective: UK chocolate tastes equally bad.
Cadbury and Hershey are cheap mass produced garbage.
Just like Milka and I would claim, even many products of Lindt are average at best.
You just go to the cheapest discounter in Germany or Austria and buy the cheapest no brand name chocolate bar out of their well assorted chocolate shelf - and no matter how cheap, it will be better, tastier, than any US brand. So NO, ANY chocolate is NOT better than no chocolate.

I don't know.. Recently, "the cheapest chocolate" you can get is barely chocolate.. Those are just vaguely chocolate-y sugar bars.. I remember liking one super cheap brand when I was little, but when I tried getting it recently, it got so much worse... even cooking chocolate that often used to be 60-70 cacao is around 40 these days...
@@prdprdprdprdprdel Cooking chocolate or "real cocoa" has to be 100%. And chocolate must have a minimum cocoa content of 30%. That is a law.
Moser Roth chocolat for example. It's a very good chocolat from ALDI.

Make sure you get UK produced Cadburys. You said you couldn't tell the difference between Hersheys and Cadburys, that's because US Cadbury bars are made by Hersheys, who try their hardest to make sure UK produced bars never find their way into US stores.
Very true look for the UK made chocs. Or even better... Belgian chocolate and that is speaking as a Brit
Correct, Hershey had an agreement with Cadbury's years ago, to use Cadburys recipe, and Cadbury could sell their chocolate in America. Hershey reneged on the deal, and stopped Cadbury from selling their chocolate in America. This is why British Cadbury's chocolate can't be found in America, only in specialty import warehouses, where it's pretty expensive.
@@mikemcsweeney4753 Yeah, Belgian and Swiss chocolate are among the best in the world. Belgian has a special place though for me because I went to a Belgian chocolate shop in Belgium and have had the first hand experience. It was the best chocolate I have ever consumed and it was designed to look like a video game controller so it was that much more awesome.
@@mikemcsweeney4753 I've never thought Belgian (or Swiss) chocolate was really that special. Okay it's far nicer than American chocolate (what little I've tasted of that) but that's not exactly difficult. Cadburys is lovely, but something like Green & Blacks is far nicer, and Guylian (a Belgian) chocolate is really quite unpleasant.
@@_starfiendhave disgusting taste in chocolate.
I was given a Hersey bar and I couldn't eat it - the smell of it was enough to put me off. It smelt SO bad!
First time I tried Hersheys was a Hershey Kiss in New York and I have no problem in saying it was one of the worst tasting things I've ever had 🤢🤢 I ate it though because it was a little welcome gift from my new Landlord and I didn't want to offend them😊😊
As a former British soldier I trained with the US army on several occasions. I tried Hershey bar once but thought it had gone off. They gave me another one, still tasted the same. Another GI gave me a Bud beer to take away the taste 😮. It tasted even worse,Bud tasted ice cold and with a tinny metallic taste. Hardly any alcohol 😢. Kraft recently bought Cadburys and lowered the cocoa content ... a little like Hershey now 🥴. You should try the British Galaxy chocolate.
American beers "big beers" (Bud, Miller, etc etc) are all pretty much piss water.
British Galaxy chocolate is the creamiest chocolate ever.
Oh gosh yes, Galaxy is insanely good
Galaxy's the kind of chocolate that is so melty that it feels like you, the world around you, and every problem you've ever had, is melting away with it.
Omg galaxy chocolate is the dogs danglies
I've watched lots of "American reacts" channels...and they all say that UK chocolate is far better than American 💯
I was going to comment on the exact same thing.
Probably for views. 'American reacts' channels generate mostly UK viewers. Although USA chocolate is terrible.
As a Dane I will say this: there is nothing like Belgian or Swiss chocolate. Nothing else comes close, it is out-of-this-world good, smooth, rich and creamy. Yum!
I was in Bruges not that long ago, absolute bliss eating the chocolate, waffles and drinking the beer. Never change Belgium.
Right, but if you can, try Croatian chocolate made by "Kraš"
Eh, if you've tasted Norwegian chocolate, then Belgian and Swiss isn't really that special.
@@christerjakobsen8107 like our austrian chocolate, norwegian is definitly a good quality chocolate, but swiss chocolate is world famous and i never heard anyone bragging about using "real norwegian chocolate" in their bakery while it is common for swiss because it is an expensive quality feature.
@@Vittrichwell i prefer the german chocolate stuff usually, but I also think most of Europes stuff is much better compared to American stuff anyway. The only thing I wish I could get my hands on for once would be fresh tuna. Not frozen, not canned tuna (for me canned tuna reminds of cat food 😂)
Hersheys can keep that trade secret to themselves, FOREVER 🤣
i love his reaction going from "vomit, really? come on its not that bad" to "what tf why are we abusing our chocolate?" =D
The UK calls it "food", the US calls it "organic". The food laws in europe are far more strict.
and i am so happy about it
Not quite true. Food laws are only strict in Europe for foriegn imports. If you're a meat eater and lived in the UK or most European countries for atleast the last 11 year's there's a high likelihood you unwillingly ate horse meat... See the 2013 Horse Meat Scandal.
Food produced here in the UK constantly get recalled to Supermarkets on a weekly to monthly basis for reasons like metal, plastic and glass contamination, to mislabelling nut products and the more sinister such as having things like rodent parts and horse meat in your food.
@@-_-DatDudebut meat is meat I have no problem eating it the problem the USA has is they use over 1000 chemical in food that are illegal in the rest of the world due to them being really bad for you .... lets not forget the same country banned kinder eggs due to safety but also has the highest stat for children being killed with guns
@@Shroudblur You're half right we are better than the US but only barely. Its not enough for us to gloat. If the standards in the US are a D grade, we are only a C- tbh. I've had a lot of nad experiences to where I'm super OCD when it comes to food quality and food hygiene. I'm so jaded by the poor standards that I'm now vegetarian and no longer order takeaways anymore regardless of the financial hard times.
On takeaways... I don't know were you live but in urban places in England and maybe Europe too, it's totally common for restaurants to serve their food in dark kitchens/portakabins which has very low standards when it comes to health and safety, as well as hygiene.
@@-_-DatDudeI counter by arguing how prevalent food poisoning is in America compared to the UK
As a brit, I tried hersheys kisses for the first time recently and I rlly couldn't understand why it tasted so much like a mix of cheese and throw up.... I thought it had gone off but apparently not!😅
Oh jesus it's awful, I really feel for you guys x
Did you try Cadburys in the UK?
Hersheys make the stuff they sell as 'Cadbury' in the US. That may be why there wasn't much difference if so.
Love your videos.
I spent many years working to and from the UK to the USA and the first thing I always tasted when given American chocolate was the same taste as vomit. It's a European tastebud thing.
As in European tastebuds haven't atrophied and died.
@@John_Lyle😂
@tmac160 Unrelated, but I just read that as 'walking' to and from.
Thought Jesus had entered the chat 😆
The video seemed to give the impression that the first chocolate bars were made by an American & produced by Hershey's. The first chocolate bar in the World was produced by Fry's in the UK. Cadbury's chocolate is far superior to Hershey's. The Cadbury's factory is from where the book (made later into movies) 'Charlie & the Chocolate Factory' came from. In 1964 British author Roald Dahl wrote the book based on schools near the Cadbury's factory receiving 'tester' confectionary. Quote Wikipedia: "The story was originally inspired by Roald Dahl's experience of chocolate companies during his schooldays at Repton School in Derbyshire. Cadbury would often send test packages to the schoolchildren in exchange for their opinions on the new products." 🇬🇧❤🇺🇸
'confectionEry' - but yep!
@@notreallydavid two different words mate, though often confused

@@ruthbriggs5372 Like all hollywood movies, like War of the World's etc, Americanised.
@ruthbriggs5372 He's doing a prequel to the Gene Wilder film, so he's really cast as a young Gene Wilder. The question should really be why Hollywood cast so many Americans in the 1971 original, but that's no real surprise is it...
I thought I had got an "off" batch when I bought two Hersheys in America. Many years later I could buy them in the UK and it still tasted "off" . That was one long batch or Hersheys always tastes like it had gone off.
As a British child, I was so excited when my dad came home from a work trip in the states with a Hershey bar for each of us. Damn they were so disappointing 😂 I’ve never tasted viler chocolate in my life (and I’ve eaten a lot 😂) Our chocolate is creamy and delicious on the whole ☺️ However, I bow down to the chocolate masters - the Belgians. Now if you want the best then that’s where to go! 🙃
I got a big bag of Hershey's kisses from a mate who'd been to the states... I concluded that he secretly hated me 😂
Once I've tasted american chocolate and it was just disgusting. The only thing near chocolate that was THAT bad, was a chocolate-like product (that was it's official name!) available in my country during communism.
@@nobodynemoqAnd that was probably due to American sanctions and blockades!
You could hardly get confectionary at all in Britain during the war, due to sugar rationing. Can we give Cadburys a big👍🏼for giving their factories over to munitions manufacture.
Yes ,spending pocket money in a `sweet shop` in London in the war years meant a packet of crisps and some fizzy lemonade for us youngsters.
The first time I had some Hershey's chocolate I thought it had gone bad as it tasted vile, a few months later I tried it again from another shop and like before it was disgusting! It really did have a vomit taste to it. I ended up googling to see if anyone else had the same experience and sure enough there was loads of people, and then I found out the reason why. So yeah I love chocolate but not Hershey's.
When I was a kid I went on and on at my mum to get me a Hersheys bar. One day she gave in and got it for me, even though it was a ridiculous price. Biggest disappointment ever. It tasted like there was something wrong with it and I couldn't eat more than one bite because it made me feel sick. Found out why as an adult 😅
I bought some Hershey's in Asda, excited to check it out after hearing Americans rave about it, and instantly thought it tasted like sick. This was before I'd heard anyone say the same thing. Crazy how different it is to just about any chocolate made in the UK
I'm from Finland and I got a valentine chocolate box from my American friend. It was so awful, tasted like vomit🤢🤮 I could never tell him the chocolate flew straight into a waste bin🙈
you should have sent back some fazer's blue 😉
I'd always wondered why this was the case. Do cheese and bread next because in the US you've also messed these up big time :)
American 'cheddar' 🤮
The EU once threatened to stop the UK marketing their product as chocolate because it's chocolate ingredients were too low. Continental chocolate is generally better.
I've never been pro-Brexit, but that would make me change my mind.
@@thejmeister Not even Chocolate could make Brexit a good idea, and I love Chocolate....... a lot.
The UK? You realise there isn't one huge chocolate producing conglomerate?
What you've told us sounds like a headline from The Sun.
This because Cadbury were bought by Americans and they ruined it
@@skylined5534 Yeah it was actually aimed at just some UK and Ireland companies that used more vegetable fats. The EU courts actually ruled that the ban by a few member states was illegal (mainly Spain and Italy) when even France and Belgium had accepted the UK/Irl chocolate was fine. I find there's a lot of snobbery over chocolate, especially with the Belgium and Swiss chocolate, as it's obviously their big 'thing' (Guylian is actually pretty low for cocoa solids for example) - while they produce some great chocolate I've had poor chocolate from both countries too, and no-one seems to include the likes of Hotel Chocolat or Green and Blacks.
I bought a king-size Hershey's the first time I went to the USA. 1 piece and I spat it out my kids spat out their 1 piece too. The rest of the bar went in the bin. It's inedible to a non-American! It tastes worse than the chocolate decorations you hang on your Christmas tree if you leave it for a few years!
I went to Hershey Theme Park in Pennsylvania. I'm Irish and they gave us some free Hershey's kisses. I tasted two and promptly threw up with how awful they tasted. I couldn't get the taste of them out of my mouth the whole day. The guys with us got two or three bars to eat. An hour or two later they were having serious stomach problems so much so the doctor was worried they could become dehydrated. Hershey's chocolate is disgusting even their white chocolate is sickly sweet compared to milky bars. It's so undigestable it's like someone who is lactose intolerant drinking whole milk.
I lived in the US for two years back in the days before Cadbury was available anywhere over there (even if you do find Cadbury's there now, it's a different recipe to the UK version). Anyway, I actually lost a li'l weight initially coz I couldn't stomach the vomit taste of US chocolate. My US friends thought I was was just being a stuck up Brit, but now I send them every video I find on the subject.
LOL Hilarious! Maybe it's a good thing our chocolate tastes like vomit. We are fat! We need to start putting vomit in our cheeseburgers and pizza.

_"Now with 40% more vomit!!"_
When I was a kid I lived in the British county of Suffolk, we had several USAF bases nearby, my mum worked on a couple of these bases and we had several American friends. One Christmas we went to one friends home for dinner and they had a load of "candy" in bowls, this might be the only Christmas ever that I didn't eat any sweets, I tried a couple including a Hershey's bar and Oh My!! not good at all.😉
Not just Europe but the whole western world. There's a reason you can't get Hershey outside U.S
...You can absolutely get hershey's outside the US. i live in a european country, and hershey bars are available in most larger stores. They barely get bought, ofc, cause they taste bad (and also are more expensive than local chocolate, since they are imported), but they are absolutely available.
The American wife of one of my colleagues wanted to be nice and gifted our office a box of Hershey's kisses. The reactions were unanimous: "Stale", "Tastes like vomit", "rancid", "rotten and "spoilt". Everyone spit it out and noone would even consider taking a second bite.
The first time i came to the uk to live from my native American Choctaw nation i had a bar if chocolate and it was great better taste and really enjoyed it
I always think that American chocolate has the same texture and taste of cheap cooking chocolate. Cadbury is ok but give me Galaxy chocolate every time 😋
Galaxy chocolate is disgusting. It's really sweet and sickly. I couldn't even eat one piece of that.
@@lizvickers7156 I agree. I went off milk chocolate in my teens and only eat dark chocolate now (rarely). I *never* liked white chocolate and went off caramel flavoured chocolate even before milk chocolate. Give me some good quality liquorice any day.
@@avaggdu1 white chocolate is a scam. they can call it "chocolate" because of the 20% cocoa butter in it, but cocoa butter is just fat and has none of the igredients of real chocolate, also it is the cheapest part you can produce with cocoa. So its more like a white fat bar than a chocolate bar and thats the reason why it melts in your mouth so smoothly.
Unfortunately you have the same problem with bread and cheese, I'm sorry but you just do them wrong 😢
How many squirts of cheese would you like on your immortal, unrottable burger?
Yes, they also fail with both of those foods too... 😅 😂 🤣
And bacon..
@mikemcsweeney4753 I actually like their bacon but it's a time and place thing good on a burger bad on a breakfast
Coming from Australia, I grew up eating mainly Cadbury or Nestle chocolate. When I went to the U.S. I tried a few chocolates and didn't like them at all. The only one I could cope with was Ghirardelli, that tasted similar to Nestle. All of the others tasted....off. Reece's Pieces isn't too bad, only because the peanut butter overpowers the awful chocolate
I'd always seen Hershey's chocolate advertised in comics and stuff (Brit here) so was really keen to try some when a friend brought some Hershey's Kisses back from the States. Oh dear. Pretty much inedible, and that vomit taste really comes through. British chocolate is good, but even we have to doff our caps to the Belgians.
You go to Belgium and look at their laws for chocolate.
Thank you for this video. I have been trying to explain to my American friends why i don't like the chocolate over there but they just don't get it. This should explain it perfectly to them.
When I spent 6 months in America we used to "trade" UK chocolate with the hotel staff for the discounts they could get (mainly fast food). I tried American chocolate twice (to check if the first time was a bad batch), it was disgusting and did have a strong vomit taste. Never again.
Fun fact about Toblerone Chocolate, it can no longer state that it's a swiss chocolate because it violates the Swissness Act.
Another fun fact: Who's to blaim for that? The U.S.A. company that own Toblerone.
When I was young I moved to USA for 3 years. Back then I did not know that there could be differences in chocolate. I assumed that they would all taste the same, That is until I bought Hersheys. I had been eating Cadburys and Nestles all my life up until then. All our family simply hated the taste of Hersheys.. My family back home used to send me rescue boxes of chocolate every 6 months or so.
Yes, Cadbury's *do* make a chocolate bar with peanut butter in. It's called Star Bar. However, the peanut butter isn't immediately obvious because of the other ingredients. Star Bar is one of my favourites and it's a bar I'll actively look for when I'm out shopping. Hershey's chocolate smells vile - very much like vomit. I think I'd rather try to eat my own feet over Hershey's!
Try the "Star Bar", whole peanuts and peanut butter, wrapped in chewy caramel and then covered in chocolate. Mind blowing! 😋
My Fav candy bar.
Cadbury's chocolate in New Zealand (now made in Australia) is definitely inferior to the local Whittakers brand, probably due to a perception here that Cadbury's recipe is more "American". Sales of Whittakers have soared since the Cadbury factory in Dunedin closed. Yum!
Even though the price has jumped quite a bit. $6.50 a block.
I would recommend any one around the world should try Whittakers if they get the chance .
It is the best commercial chocolate available bar none.
I like the dark ghana 72% cocoa fruit and nut.
Something in their range will become your new fav.
@@martinsmallwood9605 not the Ghana / peppermint?
That was last month before that it was the 92% dark Ghana. All Whittakers are so good.
Real chocolate tastes of chocolate first flavor second.
I work in a high-end chocolate shop here in the UK; trust me, you would DEFINITELY taste the difference between our chocolate and your Herscheys and other American brands!
Oh, and if you do want to taste some Cadbury chocolate to compare and contrast, you'll have to make sure it's from the British factories, since the American branch of Cadbury uses the same process as Herscheys with their Cadbury chocolate. (Of course, if you really wanted to try some EXCELLENT chocolate, I could send you some of ours, if you have a postal address/P.O. Box address I could use. 🙂)
To take a harsh view, Cadbury's took a patriotic stance of supporting the war effort, while Hershey took advantage of a marketing opportunity.
I'm digging your deadpan humour* and humble acceptance of these sobering, nauseating facts. 🤣

Nice that you made the effort to spell 'humour' correctly ( LOL 😀). You can blame Noah Webster (who was very anti-British) and decided to rewrite the 'dictionary' (as in Merriam-Webster), following the War of Independence. He is also responsible for Americans spelling colour with no 'U' or theatre as theater... etc. He wanted to 'simplify' spelling so changed 'plough' to PLOW. Mind you, some Yanks didn't like certain changes suggested, and they NEVER got accepted - such as MASHEEN for machine! He really wanted to cut ties with Britain... 😎

I don't recall ever trying American Chocolate before and I have seen Hershey Bars in the shops but I dare not buy one just in case they really do taste of vomit.
One day you may get a craving for the taste of vomit. When that day comes, we have your back. ❤️
I am curious now and I guess you can't say you've lived if you haven't tasted it. Surely somebody in Europe must like it!
I had the -pleasure- misfortune of tasting some Hershey's once, and I can honestly say even the dirt-cheap Aldi own-brand chocolate is way nicer. Love your videos, by the way. If you want to try Cadbury's, make sure it's the stuff produced in the UK; the US one also gets the lipolysis treatment.
My personal favourite chocolate is Swiss chocolate from the Lindt company, and I went in person to Belgium and tried their chocolate and I still prefer Swiss as Belgian chocolate tends to be more of a mix of all three types of chocolates but Swiss chocolate melts in my mouth is overall the better one in my opinion. (my fav type of chocolate is milk chocolate from them btw)
Be very sure you want to go down the 'Learn About American Food' road. You know those scary Nepali mountain roads? Yeah, it's one of those, sorry 😁.
If you've only tasted Cadbury bought in the US then I'm afraid you haven't tasted Cadbury. Although to be fair our quality has decreased since Kraft bought them, Creme Eggs haven't been the same. Also, the rest of Europe would question if Cadbury was even proper chocolate. 😂
Just have to say... this is the best new channel I've found for ages. And, the best 'reaction' channel, ever. 👍
And due to the quality of the channel, that's also attracted quality commenters, too. 👏
I was in the USA for 5 months and I just completely stopped eating chocolate. I tried like 4 or 5 different types they all tasted bad. the only one I could stomic was Snickers, but that still tasted weird. I assumed it was because you used corn syrup instead of sugar. I had like 5 bars over my 5 months stay, (if you are a women, you know chocolate becomes almost irresistible 1 time pr month), and snickers was the only 1 I could tolerate more than 1 bite of. Probably because there is a lot of things in it that isn't milk so the taste doesn't come out so strong.
But yeah, if you are European and want to cut down on your chocolate consumption, stay a few months in the USA and you be cured.
UK chocolate is far far better....and then there is Belgium chocolate which is God tier
since americans bought english confectionery companies, our chocolate has gone down hill....bloody yanks lol
In the UK (and I think in the rest of Europe) we have very strict food laws where not only does the product need to contain a certain amount of the raw material for the name of the product to be legally named as such.
But some foods / drinks have to be grown and / or produced in a certain region, this is called Protected Geographical Indication
For example:
A beef burger in the UK must contain a minimum 62% beef to be called a beef burger.
And famously real champagne is only made in the French champagne region, the USA has a legal loophole that some can bypass this and call their product champagne but we know it's really not the same.
EU: protected geographical indication
US: nah screw that, VOMIT should be the quality indicator.
Can confirm American chocolate is vile. I just can't understand Hershey's , it tastes repulsive
I¨m from Sweden and when I was in th US I bought a Hearshey's bar, but I threw it away because I thought it was old and had gone off so I didn't want to eat it.
I grew up in Germany but lived in the States too. Hershey is probably one of the worst chocolates in the world. If you compare it to a standard German chocolate like Milka or Rittersport it tastes disgusting. Try to get your hands on Mathez Truff d'Or. It costs about 25$ in Europe and is by far the best chocolate I ever tried. Doesn't compare to anything made in the States.
Cadburys is a pale imitation of what it once was. Kraft/Mondelez (?) bought it and just removed much of the chocolate and continues to reduce the size of the bars for more profit. Try Hotel Chocolate when in UK or Belgian chocolate if possible as that is the best.
Chocolate bars sold in Canada traditionally used British Cadbury type chocolate flavour profile. Many Hershey products sold here in Canada use a diffenet recipe than those in the US. They leave out the sour milk flavour in most of chocolate they sell here.
Try Belgian chocolate or any artisan chocolates in the UK or Europe. Cadbury's milk pales into also ran status. I did try chocolate in the US years ago. I had to spit it out.
first time i tried a Hershey bar in the UK i gagged, i thought it was sour and had gone off. it is absolutely disgusting... probably because i had grown up eating the superior Cadbury chocolate as well as other European brands.
First (and only time) i tried hershey's, i genuinely thought it had 'turned' in the heat. I'd been given a sort of assortment box as a gift, and the whole lot ended up in the bin!.
I excitedly bought a Hershey bar and was disappointed to discover that it tasted like I threw up.
I was shocked when i tasted American chocolate; it really does literally (and I'm not using the word 'literally' lightly) taste like vomit..
I challenge any American to try milk chocolate for a month, and then go back to that vomit they call chocolate.
I have to say American chocolate tastes like plastic. When I went to America it also drove me mad that they don't have the tax on the price of items you are going to buy in shops advertised and you feel like an idiot when taking it to the counter to pay and realising you need to pay more.
Sorry I'm a Cadbury girl. We only have Reeces in peanut butter here. And ps. I have not tred Hersheys
I love Galaxy chocolate
I have always thought it smells a bit like sick . Glad im not going completely mental.
I tried hershey chocolate when we went to America I have to say it was awful it went in the bin 😝😝
Yep, Hershey's is absolutely vile...😫
I like your channel as u r not so loud when I hv a migraine your soft voice is soothing 😂❤
Cadbury was bought by an American company, maybe Heinz? They immediately lowered the cocoa percentage and we certainly noticed it!!!! The Cadbury chocolate we now have is not too different to our supermarkets own brands, but still a lot better than your Cadbury chocolate.
Bought by Kraft, then ruined it.
I once ate american chocolate, and if I can help it, I'd like it to remain once
wait till you hear what we think of your "cheese"
Hershey bought Cadbury some 10 years ago, and since then the quality of Cadbury's chocolate has been declining. Luckily we can still get Lindt and other European chocolates, so rarely have to resort to Cadbury's. A particular favourite is Tony's Chocoloney - Dutch
+ Green and Black's organic. Also tins of proper cocoa powder for a hot choccy
Absolutely this. I used to love Cadbury chocolate. Not so much now. 🤢
Found Hershey's here in Sweden a couple of years ago. "Wow, finally some American made Chocolate!" I thought (we have other brands but they are all license made here in Europe).
No, it was... actually not far from vomit taste, now that I think about it. Did not finish it either but tossed it out the car window. I love Finnish and Swiss made chocolate the most.
Cadbury's is not very high on the list of decent chocolates. If you want something really good, try Belgian (Godiva) or Swiss (Lindt) chocolate.
It's not, but it's head and shoulders better than Hershey. Not Cadburys you'll find in the US though, that's all made by Hershey, who fight tooth and nail to keep UK Cadburys off the shelves.
Hershy's Pavlovian vomit chocolate. As a Brit who loves Cadbury's, Belgian and Swiss chocolate is the best.
You've clearly not tasted Mongolian yak chocolate. It's like having your anus internally pulled up to your tastebuds.
"Henry Fords production line" came from the textile industry that beat him by about a century... It also created punched cards and rudimentary programmable manufacture.
Well as a continental European I never have heared of Cadbury as a quality brand tht can compete with Belgian, Swiss or even German chocolate.
Try Freia, Norway's best chocolate brand.
My Mother-in-law bought me a load of American chocolate and it was very disappointing
I hope you sat your mother-in-law down and had a heart-to-heart conversation about why she tried to feed vomit to you. It’s important to have open communication with the ones we love, even when they try to poison you❤️
I had a hershey bar once, it tasted so bad lol, I remember saying at the time it had a vomit-like after taste, it's kind of good to see that be confirmed and it wasn't just me.
I always noticed that weird taste that American chocolate had as I have spent my whole life eating european chocolate, but I think the people going crazy over it are either looking for something to complain about or are just being dramatic. American chocolate is a bit sour, but it's perfectly palatable and I can see why those more familiar with it would absolutely love it.
You must be right. And I have got to taste it now, it can't be that bad.
Not gonna lie. Loving your cute American accent 😅❤ 🇬🇧
Hershey's really does taste like it's gone rancid. First time I tried it I thought there was something wrong with it.
Euro chocolate is very strict, watch the swiss and belgians argue about foreign chocolate not being labeled as chocolate because it lacks the REQUIRED amount of cocoa.
My first trip Stateside, the first thing my wife did was purchase a Hersheys bar as she’d been hyped up to try one. She took one bite and launched it straight into the bin😂😂😂.
Regarding peanut butter chocolate bars…..try and get your hands on a StarBar (Cadbury). It has the chocolate, peanut butter, caramel and crispy biscuit and represents the absolute pinnacle of human achievement 😂. Thank me later.
I should also point out that we should have known better as the warning signs presented themselves on the flight out of the UK, as there was an American gent loading up in duty free with Galaxy bars, saying it’s the best chocolate he’s ever had in his life and we’re stood there thinking “really?? Galaxy?!”
OMG the Starbar sounds like heaven! 🤤
Galaxy chocolate is very good, but the Belgiums win the prize for the best chocolate for me.
Can't blame this on Hitler I'm afraid. These tech advances happened before his time. This is Hershey and Henry Ford's advancements. So this one is purely on America.
Hershey's was fucking up chocolate when Hitler was still in short trousers. God bless America.
Beginning of 2000s the french wanted to rename british chocolate, VEGGIE CHOC, because the brits used more vegetable oils (maybe coco butter) compared to french cacao chocolate. Of course some journalists took a taste test in Paris, comparing brit Mars bar to french Mars bar. The results were (journalists truth) 8 out of 10 french preferred brit Mars bar because it was smoother.
Fry produced the first chocolate bar way before Hershey.
I’ve had American choc and found it overpoweringly sweet compared to Cadburys which was creamier rather than sweeter.
Also,with the American chocolate,the aftertaste is quite nauseating,leaving a sickly greasy coating around your mouth.
British/European chocolate is far better.
Hershey didn't invent mass produced chocolate - just as Ford didn't invent the production line ....
Hershey chocolate tastes foul ... and I like high cocoa chocolate which IS bitter ... hershey chocolate tastes of vomit ... but so does Parmesan cheese, and I like that
It's so low in chocolate flavour that it's technically cheese outside the USA ...
Cadbury is now an American company .... and they have started making their products cheaply ... so don't assume they are European ... most of us don't like it much anymore
The Cadburys made in the USA use the vomit process for the American palet.
When I first went to NY I was eager to taste your chocolate, as Greek that was a BIG disappointment, I was looking for European brands to make up for my loss living in NY. Nothing can beat the taste of ION chocolate with almonds, NOTHING! Best mass produced cheap chocolate ever. Now Im buying cacao from UK and OMG Im in love best Cacao I have ever tasted.
I'm French, once I ate American chocolate it tasted like camembert (French cheese), I spat it out straight away.
American chocolate tastes like cheap bargain buy, supermarket own brand chocolate.
I remember when we were younger we were sitting in my friends house there was a group of us smoking, about 12 or so.
His gran brought him back a bag of hersheys chocolate from her trip to America. There was tons of the stuff.
We were all munchied and said to my friend crack open the munchies. Let’s try the swag.
Not one person in the group liked it, there was people saying it burned the throat, I was one of them, it’s tastes like cardboard, it’s rank it’s disgusting.
It doesn’t even melt is breaks down a in to a powdery mass it feels like.
It got slaughtered and were saying things like we would even give it to the homeless, they would give us it back.
The whole bag remained untouched and thrown to the side.
It was left there and used as a prank to say give this to X and tell him it’s nice to watch his reaction.
It was always “this is disgusting” or “is this out of date” 😂😂
If a group of stoned kids don’t eat a bag of chocolate then you know something is wrong with it. 😂😂
