Pretty interesting that this was something I remember being warned about 26 years ago
They are also sounding the alarm bells for bananas, arabica beans, soy beans and corn…
My recollection is that around the time I was being told chocolate was going extinct, they were also telling me soy bean futures were the best investment
hershey isnt real chocolate, they add a bitterent that why it taste like shit, i think its butyric acid.
It doesn’t taste like shit, it tastes like spoiled milk
Uhhh the finest sour milk the free market can bare pls
I took two bites and had to spit it out
That’s how I reacted the first time I tasted Hershey’s chocolate.
Inb4: butyric acid
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
Whyyyyyyyyy
Stomach acid is hydrochloric acid.
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.
Smarties are nestlé, so it’s probably both.
I don’t understand how they cant see that once we leave we leave. If you bite into that and hate it; its a cycle broken and we we unlikely to trust the product ever again.
Well if they all do it, who are ya gonna run to?
Not eating candy is always an option for adults with an ounce of self control.
US chocolate…presumably Cadbury will also be affected though.
Cadbury ruined their best product, the Creme Egg, some time ago. It’s nothing like it used to be. A shame too, because they could raise the price and I still would have bought them, but as it is, I don’t remember the last time I had one.
I remember when it changed from creamy to just sugar goop that makes my teeth hurt.
My local store instead had to discount them to 25 cents each. And that’s when I started buying them up!
And the stupid plastic casing they now use. I can feel myself microdosing plastic just thinking about it.
Have they finally admitted they made them smaller yet? They’re like half the size they used to be. Like a laughably noticable difference, but they’re still like 🤷♂️ you’re imagining things, same as always
Edit: I was prompted to look and there are recipes out there for making your own. Has anyone found a good one?
Oh they’re definitely smaller. Smaller and taste way worse… That should improve profits! 🤦🏻♂️
shrinkflation and cheapflation.
Cadbury has been garbage for years now unfortunately.
