      And um counting German chocolate as Austrian or Swiss, given they all but a few percent came from said countries and started anew in Germany.

    As an American, I always ate Hershey's and would get defensive when Europeans would point out the taste. Now after almost 6 years of eating Cadbury's and other European chocolate, I can confirm it definitely tastes like throw up. 😂

    As a European I had heard so much about Hershey's so of course I had to try it when I visited the US. I swear that stuff was SO nasty I couldn't finish it, after taking a few bites (just to make sure I wasn't imagining the foul taste) I threw it out. Then Googled it and literally only had to type in "Hershey's tastes like" and all the suggestions were vomit, sick, throw up, and other variations thereof. Now I have some understanding for people who say they don't like chocolate, maybe they just had some really crappy stuff!

      Nah Hershey's is good chocolate, it really depends on what you have eaten earlier before you ate the chocolate. Food gets stuck in your teeth and remains on your taste buds, the sweetness of the chocolate stimulates your taste buds allowing you to taste more than you normally would. And if you have a dirty mouth you may taste a vomit taste.

    One thing about Hershey's chocolate specifically, for those of us outside of the United States - Is one of the main reasons Hershey's is like that is because Milton Hershey wanted to make a chocolate bar that any child could afford, and this was around 1900.

    I think it is only true for Hershey - their chocolate does have unpleasant taste. The main problem with All US mass produced deserts, as I see, (includes ice cream, chocolate, cakes) - too much sugar that overpowers any taste. In regards to chocolate, One can find very good quality chocolate from small US producers that would rival European products. In the past ten to 15 years, chocolate quality improved tremendously in the US.

Hershey's chocolate contains butyric acid, which can also be found in parmesan cheese, sour yogurt and, yes, vomit. The chemical in return gives the chocolate a distinct tanginess rarely encountered in any other brand of chocolate. The idea behind it (adding this acid) to prolong shelf life: Hershey’s founder wanted chocolate being affordable to average people ( back than it was a luxury item); in order to do so, it had to be produced in large quantity and survive transportation, storage….

    • @Archangel-cw7mq
      @Archangel-cw7mq 7 місяців тому

      @bitemyshite There is a great Hershey biography by Michael D'Antonio that covers how that happened. It wasn't because it took longer for the milk to get there and thus it started to spoil, but because the process used to boil the milk down was done at a low temperature, and then left to cool for an extended period of time in the cooking vats. It was THEN that the butyric acid developed. Hershey himself made a comment on the "snappy" taste of the new batch when his engineer finished the prototype recipe.
      As for why this taste persists, consider the two relevant situations where someone would taste butyric acid:
      1. When they throw up.
      2. When they taste Hershey.
      For a European, they will taste butyric acid when they throw up, and not when they eat their chocolate. So they will have the association ingrained in them from youth of the association of that flavor with the grossness of throwing up.
      For an American, they will eat Hershey a LOT more than they will experience the taste of throwing up, so that flavor (when they eat the chocolate) will be more closely associated with their memory of how "chocolate" tastes than it will with the comparatively few times they have experienced it as a component of throwing up.
      In both cases, both Americans and Europeans don't have a problem with the flavor as it exists in Parmesan cheese, but in both cases, those two groups of people grew up with that flavor in said cheese, so when they taste the butyric acid portion of the cheese flavor, it triggers "cheese" much more than it does "vomit".
      The contrast is that Europeans likely didn't grow up with a butyric acid flavor component in their chocolate of choice, so it exists as a standout flavor when they do taste it in a Hershey, and when it stands out, and is out of place, it will sense-memory land on the first non-chocolate thing, which is vomit. Americans don't have that since, just like with Parmesan, the butyric acid flavor component is a normal part of their sense-memory of what chocolate tastes like, so the association is food-first, not vomit-first.

      I'm from Germany and really like our beer.
      But the classic Budweiser is a good option if you're in the mood for a very mild lager beer. It's not a bad beer!
      German Pils(ner) is intense in hops _("hopfig")._ So if you want to have a ligher beer, you can order a _"saures Radler",_ which is 50% beer and 50% carbonated water. The classic Budweiser is a good alternative if you also like Lager taste.
      The hate is a little overblown, especially by Englishmen with their pisswarm beer. I don't think that there's any word wide popular English beer brand! Even the English themselves go for foreign beer brands on a regular base. You can see them drinking Foster's or Beck's all the time. If there wouldn't be a kangaroo on the Forster's can, I'd probably thought of Forster's as a British beer.
      I can see how it became suitable for the masses. Why they made an even milder one with Bud Light, I don't know. There isn't really much of, what you call beer taste, left.
      By now Americans have a wide range of craft beers available, that are even recognized and awarded internationally.

America has a lot more different types of chocolates and Gourmet chocolates also that we make that they could have compared it to but they didn't. They compared it to a run of the mill kind of lower class chocolate. They sure as heck wouldn't like that if we compare that for them. And you're right too about the Germans. The US has been England's ally in wars and I'm sure we'll always be there for them if need be. So I guess we can just ignore the rude ones who say our chocolate taste like vomit.

    Gross! The U.S. chocolate companies that changed from using cocoa butter to something else, and changed up some of their recipes (Hershey's, for one) made a HUGE mistake. Candy bars do not taste the same as they used to. There's some I can handle (especially ones doctored up with peanut butter, nuts, or something else), but I can't really handle the taste of a solid candy bar anymore, unless it's dark chocolate. The milk chocolate plain bars are total crap.

    I think a lot of people are used to what they had growing up. I like anywhere from 11-30% cocoa milk chocolate. The thing is in the USA chocolate only needs 10% cocoa to be chocolate while it has to be double that in Europe. I have the ability to love more types and variety of chocolate because I am used to a lower content. I get to 50% to 70% it get to be bitter and 95% I can take a bit like once a day. To me it doesn't taste like vomit it does taste a lot more like sugar. Mainly because the companies around here can get away with using the cheaper ingredients. However I argue that has made a unique food culture. We can get a handful of chocolates for a quarter and enjoy them. Mainly because they are cheaper but they are a little bit sweeter to. The European chocolate is something we reserve for gift giving because it is more expensive but has a smoother and slightly less sweet and more creamy taste. Aka luxurious. I guess to sum it up all things you didn't grow up with are an aquired taste. Give it time and slowly jump into American chocolate it is good but you have to have a different expectation for sweetness and mouth feel.

    It uses sugar, milk, butter, no corn Syrup.
    It’s .37 USD per ounce at Aldi’scompared to .28 per ounce for Milk Chocolate imported from Belgium at Trader Joe’s.
    Cadbury’s uses vegetable oil
    Hershey’s only uses milk.
    The acid is the byproduct of the butter they actually put in the chocolate which is why Hershey’s taste so waxy, I read it’s also due to the high contents of cocoa butter.

      And you appear to be so young by your picture also. Seriously, do you have an eating disorder maybe like bulimia that you smell lot of fresh vomit??

    The huge problem with these videos is that they are saying American chocolate when they mean Hershey’s chocolate. It’s like saying all American food is McDonald’s. Like it’s alright. I personally enjoy it but it’s not “American food” it’s shit garbage fast food.

    Why Europeans sum up a entire continent just in one country ??
    I know the taste is different comparing European chocolate with American chocolate but it doesn't tastes like vomit 😂😂

      Because a lot of Americans tend to do the same and sum up Europe as one country? I wouldn't say it taste like vomit but most American chocolate tasted far too sweet with a rather nasty aftertaste. Not enough cacao and too much sugar, that's for sure.
