A somehow necessary ingredient in Hershey’s which lingers unpleasantly on the palate, otherwise known as a stomach acid which imbues your vomit with the unmistakeable flavor of vomit
Actually this goes back to the early days of Hershey’s. As part of their drive to produce affordable chocolate, their main formulation was developed around slightly spoiled milk, which has an acidic taste. That’s why all Hershey’s chocolate since the beginning of time has had that ‘vomit flavor’.
Obviously they’re not allowed to use spoiled milk anymore, but they wanted to taste the same as it always has. So they add the acid as an ingredient to replicate the same flavor.
I know m&ms are Mars but those little bits of poison have also tasted like vomit for decades.
I can’t even watch people choke those friggen things down.
Smarties or death.
That’s how I reacted the first time I tasted Hershey’s chocolate.
Inb4: butyric acid

Smarties are nestlé, so it’s probably both.
Stomach acid is hydrochloric acid.
Yes, but butyric acid is produced in the stomach by fast breakdown, and it’s very easy for humans to detect.
