    cadbury failing against hershey only proves that americans would rather eat vomit than admit they are wrong.
    shelf life won over taste. see also :: red delicious

      I’m an American chocoholic, and I don’t prefer Hershey’s, but your “admit they were wrong” thing is way off. It’s simply that lots of folks grew up eating chocolate that tastes that way and now they prefer it.

      My understanding is Hershey’s didn’t always taste that way, but during the war, when everything was rationed, they figured out how to make chocolate from spoiled milk, which was available. It was a temporary measure, but went on long enough that people ended up preferring it. Now they don’t use spoiled milk, but they duplicate the flavor.

      Arguing that something subjective is “wrong” is just silly.

          Right, the people there generally don’t care for it so it doesn’t sell. Also don’t sell much black pudding in the states.

          Hersheys and American Cokes taste like shit because of all the HFCS. Other countries dont grow corn like America, so they use regular sugar for their candies and it tastes wayyyyyyyy better.

          Also fuck Cadbury for letting hersheys make their eggs in usa
