I’d like to gift you all with this quote from Sir Pterry Pratchett, set in his fictional disc world, which has absolutely no parallels to our world:
“Wienrich and Boettcher were, naturally, foreigners, and according to Ankh-Morpork’s Guild of Confectioners, they did not understand the peculiarities of the city’s taste buds. Ankh-Morpork people, said the guild, were hearty, no-nonsense folk who did not want chocolate that was stuffed with cocoa liquor and were certainly not like the effete la-di-dah foreigners who wanted creme in everything. In fact, they actually preferred chocolate made mostly from milk, sugar, suet, hooves, lips, miscellaneous squeezings, rat droppings, plaster, flies, tallow, bits of tree, hair, lint, spiders, and powered cocoa husks. This meant that, according to the food standards of the great chocolate centers in Borogrovia and Quirm, Ankh-Morpork chocolate was formally classed as “cheese” and only escaped, through being the wrong colour, being defined as “tile grout.””
You’re welcome
Pretty sure no cocoa beans grow in England.
Actually there are some, see this Tom Scott video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKSTmcvEdoU
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 deliciousI’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.
ha, i see your point.
but they cant sell hersheys in europe because it literally tastes like vomit.
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
