As an American, I think most of us don’t think Hersheys are that good. It’s just cheap and easy to give out for Halloween and have a bunch for Easter and christmas
the hersheys tastes off because some american chocolate has butyric acid added to it. It gives the chocolate a longer shelf life but has a sour/gross sort of taste to it.
I’m American and I’ve always thought that i didn’t like plain chocolate. The aftertaste is icky for sure but i just thought that it was a me thing. I love English chocolate tho. It’s been nice to learn as i got older that it’s not just me.
Exactly. Butyric acid is a compound found in milk products that can also be present in vomit which is why you think it tastes like it. Chocolate like Hershey's literally shares similar properties to vomit.
As an American, I will say that the normal Hershey's is probably one of the chocolates I like the least although I don't necessarily hate it but the cookies and cream kind of it is so much better and I think that's a better reference to go off of than the original.
Yea, no way that's in the top purchases for anything OTHER than buying it to melt + pour over something else. Like popcorn or a waffle or strawberries or whatever. Otherwise I see no one eating them?
@@kingzee7014 I had a feeling I'd see least one person from the UK agree with me, am I wrong in thinking the normal Hershey's isn't very well-liked over there? I'm pretty sure more people like the cookies and cream one a lot more but I have a feeling the majority of you lot think the normal one sucks
I've never met anyone in US that actually buys Hershey bars. But Hershey does own alot of Candy in US so that's probably why the name still comes up as a popular candy
Hersheys are pretty much used to melt or use for smores. And its the most bought only because its dirt cheap for Halloween and Easter. But most americans hate Hersheys
those swedish fish are actually made for america, they've called them swedish fish to market towards those who have tried swedish candy before (even though they different)
you are 100% right about the peanut butter cups and Hershey's here in the states. however I think what we excel at in the candy space is sour candy, sour skittles are incredible and so are my personal favorite Rips. overall I agree with most of your opinions on our candy but the Reeses Pieces deserve respect from Simon!
Hersheys chocolate is the worst chocolate ive ever tasted imo. Im swedish/american and we got some really good chocolate in Sweden. Hersheys do taste like vomit and sugar.
An acid found in vomit is also in Hersey chocolate. As a kid I loved it but then I didn’t eat it for a few years then the first time I had it I felt sick.
Idk whats in the uk but give these lads nerd gummy clusters(even tho its basically a rope, easy #1 gas station candy), sour patch kids, snickers n some twix. Maybe the bite size airhead things
I work at a record store and they have a section of American Candy. If you wanna know the crappy ingredients in them juat look at the date they expire. (Other than the ingredients)
the reason the American chocolate starts tasting like chocolate and then vomit is because of the additives they use in their chocolates, ours have very strict standards, theirs allows for pretty much anything, including Butyric acid which is what causes the sick taste, the reason why Americans can't taste this is because it's in a lot of their food and they have a tolerance to it
Wow great assessment I'm assuming you speak for all Americans when you posted this terrible take. I was going to comment no one here ever buys a bar of Hersheys, it's disgusting. It's hilarious when people that don't live here pipe up about the things we eat and act like one of the richest countries in the world only has access to bottom tier poverty candy. I'll step back though and let you speak for all Americans about what our taste buds are accustomed to you're the expert after all
@@lagmnstrsorry bro but its a fact that hersheys is one of the best selling sweets in the usa... no need to be mad that your country cant produce good chocolate
@@kanojenkuninkatpete4119it’s only best selling because it’s the cheapest and there is no competition. Reese and KitKat and all them other chocolate bars are owned by hersey.
1:40 trashing hersheys is wild. The guy who made it wanted it to be different than the English stuff and accidentally curled the milk. That’s why it taste expired. They don’t use curled milk anymore but they used stuff to mimic that and it’s delicious
i could replace many options on here to make sure they’ll actually like everything lol it’s only named highly purchased cause of seasonal times cause it’s cheap and it comes in bulk
i am an American and i could agree with you on some of them but i also think that it just depends on where u grew up because the first of you guys tried is one of the best candy bars we have like the others is like milky way and snickers but i think its what people get use to while they are growing up
I’ve never seen someone go to the store or whatever and grab a Hershey’s bar as a treat. I’ve only ever seen them sold in packs with graham crackers and marshmallows
Its different for everyone tbh, im american and American candy is better than British candy but people have different feelings to it cuz we grew up with our country’s candy
Being from America I can promise you the only reason they are the most purchased is big party events and Halloween. 🤣🤣. I would never purchase any of these by myself except for the nerds rope.
I’m from UK and always said Hersheys tasted like vomit when I had it once and I was waiting for someone else to say it too so was pleasantly surprised when they agreed!!
as an american, hersheys are not bad at all just incredibly boring. and dumdums usually come in a big pack and not separately. i agree with simon when he says there is too much peanut butter in reeses… one of my least favorite candies because of the amount of peanut butter. my top 5 candies as an american: 1. 3 musketeers 2. nerds gummy clusters 3. caramel creams 4. laffy taffys (strawberry and banana are my favs) 5. airheads (specifically the blue raspberry one)
"Got 19 channels. They'll all be linked" only links one😂 these two are so jokes together. As an American, I agreed with each one, except KitKat. Bro deserved better, smh
Ngl Simon & Danny make a good duo
So does me and your mum
@ I at least hv one
@DivijShah-hr7ci if you are going to say that at least spell correctly
@jmaste66bro took it seriously
@13-_-frizy Fr
As an American, I think most of us don’t think Hersheys are that good. It’s just cheap and easy to give out for Halloween and have a bunch for Easter and christmas
THIS!! Hersey is like the king of all candies in the US they make almost all of the chocolate bars we know
It doesn't taste good at all. Reeces and kit kat are decent tho
I agree, plus most american families use it for smores.
Unpopular opinion: I love hersheys. It’s the chocolate with milk that I think is too sweet 😂
@@deutschenihon6353 i honestly dont think its bad either
Simon be serving looks here
ikr? he looks hella good
its cuz hes next to danny
@@FlavajabariiThat is actually true
Real
the hersheys tastes off because some american chocolate has butyric acid added to it. It gives the chocolate a longer shelf life but has a sour/gross sort of taste to it.
Yeah this is the answer, I’ve gotten used to the taste though so hersheys are pretty good to me but still way worse than British chocolate
They need to stop doing this tbh. It's honestly awful. Cadbury is far nicer.
The Us and their GMO.

Nah, hating on peanut butter cups is blasphemous.
I used to not like em but I decided to try them again and now they’re top 5 favorite candies
@@od3rflasame thing happen to me
they overrated imo
reeces is overrated man
They’re pretty ass ngl
reese's cup being in bad is diabolicallll
overrated chocolate, yall like 🐀 hair
@@samxxv8443ig Reese’s cups is overrated 🤣you 100% aren’t from the US if you think that.
@@samxxv8443I like your moms hair???
Simon looks mad good in this
Fr ever since he got his new haircut and the beard bro looks GOOD
No sour patch kids is criminal
goated sweets. the lemonade mix and tropical mix are top tier
It’s bc u can get them in the uk
Sour patch kids are not only American
Because they aren't American
@@Psyborg2 They're not American at all

The only time I’ll ever buy it is for smores 😂😂 too many good options to settle for hersheys original
real
cookies n cream 🔛🔝
As someone from the uk the cookies and cream Hershey’s is elite

If the Sidemen + guests do videos with teams… Danny & Simon on the same team is a MUST
dad & son energy
Bro Simon has Unc status ‘you know that feeling of laying a carpet’ 💀
Congrats on the baby danny ❤❤
Reese cups being in the bad is criminal 😂
1:50 fun fact, american chocolate has the enzyme of vomit in them, its also the same enzyme that is in parmasan cheese.
cheers geoff
The duo we never thought we needed, has been born.
Love seeing Danny and Simon together ❤ and that Sidemen video when he said he layed the carpet was actually this year, not last year 🤣🤣
I think he said last year in case Danny decided to upload these videos at the beginning of Jan as they were filmed beginning of December

🎉🥳DANNY CONGRATS FOR HITTING 400K SUBS🎉🥳
this is such a good duo
those swedish fish are actually made for america, they've called them swedish fish to market towards those who have tried swedish candy before (even though they different)
why was i able to relate to simons feeling about the carpet
Danny is going to be a good dad
snickers is one of the most purchased chocolates. should’ve gotten that
I mean we have snickers here and it’s probably better in uk
you are 100% right about the peanut butter cups and Hershey's here in the states. however I think what we excel at in the candy space is sour candy, sour skittles are incredible and so are my personal favorite Rips. overall I agree with most of your opinions on our candy but the Reeses Pieces deserve respect from Simon!
The duo we all needed
Kit Kats are in my top 5 basic or not you can’t deny the delicacy of their confectionery
Nah Danny with the wham bar shout is unreal, not seen them things in years.
Wait until they try, Nerd Gummy Clusters
only me who actually likes hersheys but im from the uk cookies and cream is really nice in my opinion
Danny Faarton and MiniStinker strikes again
“Faarton” doesnt even make sense.
Simon saying Nerds is the best tells me all I need to know about his palate.
I agree with Danny, anything Reese’s should be top
I’ve tried most of what you got there and it is by far the best 😂
And Danny is too young for babe the pig 😂😂
using the white mystery airhead flavor over cherry, watermelon, or blue raspberry was criminal
Danny is genuinely such a nice guy. The way he put his hands up to Simon’s mouth when simon said he didn’t like the sweet 😢
Good duo
13:31 this is like some sitcom moment 🤣🤣
Most popular chocolates here are probably lindt and lindor truffles
What are you on about? Dairy milk, galaxy, maltesers, M & Ms? None of them exist?
well those are Swiss so not quite American I would say
they also have nerds clusters which is the same as the rope just bite size balls
I am an American, and I absolutely hate Hershey's.
More Danny and Simon in 2025
Hersheys chocolate is the worst chocolate ive ever tasted imo. Im swedish/american and we got some really good chocolate in Sweden. Hersheys do taste like vomit and sugar.
Wait til they find out most other chocolates use Hershey’s chocolates such as Reese’s and KitKats
you have to try the red and blue airheads. the best ones.
An acid found in vomit is also in Hersey chocolate. As a kid I loved it but then I didn’t eat it for a few years then the first time I had it I felt sick.
Gotta have the banana taffy
Idk whats in the uk but give these lads nerd gummy clusters(even tho its basically a rope, easy #1 gas station candy), sour patch kids, snickers n some twix. Maybe the bite size airhead things
14:03 I LOVE KITKAT CHUNKY PEANUT BUTTER SM
I adored every part of this video icl they work great together
I work at a record store and they have a section of American Candy. If you wanna know the crappy ingredients in them juat look at the date they expire. (Other than the ingredients)
Danny Bring back UFC 5 ? Love from Ireland nonetheless ❤🇮🇪
My favorite t5 would be trolly sour gummy worms, sour patch kids, jolly ranchers, nerds, and Laffy taffy

Love your video Danny
yall need to try canadian treats especially coffee crisp!

im in uk and we also have snickers and milky way
nerds ropes are literally my favorite candy
Those wham bars were childhood damn i wish i had a few right now
When I was a kid we’d get candy after kids church, and we all fought for the mystery air heads
Starburst mini shoulda been in here
3:13 ?? No you can’t what?
Great duo !
Omg not the gagging at the Hersheys
Always knew I wasn’t the only one who tasted that weird bitter aftertaste of Hershey dark chocolate
I’ve never seen someone go to the store or whatever and grab a Hershey’s bar as a treat. I’ve only ever seen them sold in packs with graham crackers and marshmallows
reeses pieces are bangin, better than reeses cups
I have had hersheys as an Englishmen but when I had it I had the same reaction as Danny 😂
We got Simon X Danny before 2025
Apparently vegetable fat is used as a cheap alternative to cocoa butter in chocolate, which can cause the weird taste profile
sai-mònnnnn
Come to Norway and try chocolate here. Try Freia milk chocolate. It is so much better than english
reese's cup should be top tier
Its different for everyone tbh, im american and American candy is better than British candy but people have different feelings to it cuz we grew up with our country’s candy
Someone came back with hershey kisses from US and it tasted like vomit as well 😭
Being from America I can promise you the only reason they are the most purchased is big party events and Halloween. 🤣🤣. I would never purchase any of these by myself except for the nerds rope.
I’m from UK and always said Hersheys tasted like vomit when I had it once and I was waiting for someone else to say it too so was pleasantly surprised when they agreed!!
As an American I’d like to try British candy.
We'd probably dislike it.
As an American, barely anyone buys Hershey's. I mostly see it being bought for s'mores but not to just eat on its own.
Y'all putting Reese's peanut butter cups in bad made me physically revolt
as an american, hershey's is known to have an "acidic" rotten milk taste. It's nasty and I've hated since I was a kid
as an american, hersheys are not bad at all just incredibly boring. and dumdums usually come in a big pack and not separately.
i agree with simon when he says there is too much peanut butter in reeses… one of my least favorite candies because of the amount of peanut butter.
my top 5 candies as an american:
1. 3 musketeers
2. nerds gummy clusters
3. caramel creams
4. laffy taffys (strawberry and banana are my favs)
5. airheads (specifically the blue raspberry one)
7:50
They are there cause they are American, they are very hard to find in Sweden
"Got 19 channels. They'll all be linked" only links one😂 these two are so jokes together. As an American, I agreed with each one, except KitKat. Bro deserved better, smh
Laffy taffy + sour punch are peak 16:16
American here! Here's my ranking if you care:
Nerds rope
Dum Dums (mangos the best)
Reese's Pieces
Nerds
Hershey
Reese's cup
Swedish fish
u and Simon should try some new zealand sweet or Philippine sweet
YES SIMON YES, THAT PARTICULAR HERSHEY BAR IS FOR THOSE THAT ENJOY THE BACKSIDE OF LIFE. I'M 48 AND THE TASTE OF IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE.
Try the cookies and cream hersey bar they Smack!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reese's peanut butter cup is easily the best candy there
Sitting next to one😂
I promise you, most americans do NOT eat straight up Hershey bars, they get bought in bulk for cheap on Halloween
As an American, I don't eat our candy because there are definitely better sweets out there. Reeses are my favorite though of the options you tried.
Nah ive tried herseys ONCE and NEVER again. The vomit taste is AWFUL!!!
with air heads you are meant to shake them.
