As an American I have heard that there is a big difference between British and American chocolate. Today I am very interested in learning why Brits hate the taste of American chocolate. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
American food producers find out how to produce tons of cheap junk food, then train Americans to eat it. 🤣
Yep, garbage in garbage out.
It’s like when Cadbury’s tried to export chocolate from the UK to the US. It was blocked by the American chocolate manufacturers Hershey’s. Instead Hershey’s purchased a license from Cadbury’s to make Cadbury’s chocolate in the US but with the Hershey’s chocolate recipe.
I think if Cadbury’s was manufactured in the US. With the UK recipe to UK food standards. I think it would dominate the US chocolate market.
There’s another American reacts channel where a guy and his wife were comparing chocolates from the UK, with their exact American counterparts. And overwhelmingly they preferred the UK chocolates.
Even though the US was were what the grew up with and were used to. Which normally has an impact on your taste palette.
Hersheys chocolate as additives one of which is found in babies vomit that is why we dislike it
@@JarlGrimmToys ua-cam.com/video/NpOu3x1dsmA/v-deo.html&ab_channel=ReactingToMyRoots
Smart AF on their part tbh. They were very successful. Giving the new recipe to the WW1 soldiers was a genius move. It's just a shame their chocolate f***ing sucks.
You know it's bad when in UK law, as well as European law, American "chocolate" can't legally be called chocolate.
Very true - although to be fair, American chocolate is to UK chocolate as UK chocolate is to the rest of Europe's chocolate. There was a time when Cadbury's dairy milk couldn't legally be sold as chocolate in Spain, either.
given 98% of european laws and uk laws are identical thats not as big a shocker as you think lmao
well it is on brand since American cheese is not legally a cheese as well XD
American food additives make think twice about anything produced in the USA! Compare Czech Budweiser with the American version!
@@alexgarrett4673UK chocolate is better than European chocolate
Hersey's did their best to block the import of Cadbury's until they bought the rights to produce it themselves, so if you want to try a Cadbury bar make sure you get a UK bar, not a Hersey/Cadbury US bar.
This. I've eaten Cadbury in the US, and it is indeed made by Hershey's, and tastes like Hershey's. You'll need to import it.
Their is many shop's in US that are UK and European product only@@stuartcollins82
I stopped eating all Cadburys in the UK years ago. It's been ruined since it was sold on. Mondelez first ruined all Cadburys products with a generic recipe to make it cheaper and nastier. that took the chocolate from nice to sickly. When Hersheys the came in, they managed to make it even more disgusting. I will either eat Galaxy or I'll buy Aldi chocolate.
Yes, Galaxy every time, and if not some nice organic fair trade 80% cocoa dark chocolate that you can really get your teeth into.@@Echo30Mike
@@Echo30Mike I agree, Cadbury has changed for the worse. Even Galaxy is not as smooth as it used to be, but I will choose it over Cadbury.
American chocolate is like American cheese.
Revolting.
I was always amused by how the most popular American food products, used to be thought of as children's products here in the UK. Things like processed cheese slices and triangles, peanut butter, chewing gum and Coca Cola, etc. Then I see many adult Americans on UA-cam eating their food like small children. Holding a fork in one clenched fist, and stuffing food in their mouths with the other hand. 🤣
I agree, I'm English, I've lived in the US, for 40 years, I'm yet to find any good cheese or, particularly, edible bread. Locally, where I live, I've stopped buying any bread.The local bakery, has reduced the ingredients to where, it's gone from soft and tasty, to, dry, like cardboard, and gritty. I read, years ago that Hershey had a agreement with Cadbury's, if Hershey could use the Cadbury's name, (as they now do), they would agree to let Cadbury sell their product in the US. Supposedly, Hershey reneged on their word, and wouldn't allow Cadbury to sell their chocolate in the US, after the agreement. I buy my Cadbury's chocolate imported from Britain, from warehouses.

In my local shop here in Wales (UK) er have an 'American' section. Its Hershey bars have to be marked 'chocolate flavour' as it doesn't legally qualify as chocolate here.
Yes I've seen that😂
Have you been brave enough to try it?
I have I quite liked it but yeah I could taste the difference
Haha that's funny
I tried it once to see what all the hype was. One bite and straight into the bin together with the piece I just bit. There is such a strong vomit after taste.
Usually you can smell it before you even eat it.
Hershey's!
Vomit in a bar 🤮🤮🤮
You are closer to the truth than you think. The use of different milk products in American chocolate, and the addition of a preservative called butyric acid, can create a slightly sour taste that is off-putting to anyone not used to it. Butyric acid is apparently found naturally in the human stomach, in things like rancid butter and particularly in babies vomit according to what I have found when I researched it. Yuck!
Yep, to me US chocolate tastes like a bit of vomit has been added to it! 🤮 I still remember the first time I tried it as a kid, I had to spit it out! I thought it must have gone bad.
I used to vomit in a bar when I was younger! Good times.

Hershey's 'chocolate' sold in parts of the the UK has the words "chocolate flavour" on the label because it cannot legally be called chocolate.
If Cadburys was aloud to sell all it's proper products in America it would destroy Hershey's.
'Allowed' ❤ - _not_ "aloud"
(which is loud, louder, aloud -
noisy, noisier, very noisy) ❤🏴🇬🇧♥️🖖
I'm not sure. Americans like the sour taste. To them it's what chocolate should taste like. Cadbury's would also be more expensive, and we know what the US is like when it comes to choosing quality or quantity...
That’s why Hershey paid the FDA to banned the use of palm oli in chocolate, so Americans don’t get a taste for European chocolate
Allowed
@@brigidsingleton1596 - Also 'all its proper products', not 'all it's proper products'.
I wouldn't give US chocolate to my worst enemy.
I would! Let them eat sick tasting "chocolate"
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@natalielang6209😄
I did once. It was hilarious. I visited the USA and brought back some hershey's kisses so that I could leave them out to tempt the office chocolate stealer. The face - will never forget that one.
I grew up in California and admittedly preferred Nestlés to Hersheys chocolate, but would eat either. After living in the UK now for 50+ years, I recently tried an imported Hersheys chocolate bar - I almost spat it out; it tasted like soap. [And yes, continental European chocolate is frequently even better!]
Lindt Swiss chocolate is lovely ,plus I've tried other Swiss brands in zurich
@@romystumpy1197Lindt should be banned from ever producing chocolate again. They have no taste buds. Sugar, fat and no taste. Color alone does not make good chocolate.
When the Americans bought Cadburys, they wanted to change the ingredients to match those of American chocolate but they were told that if they did, under English law, they couldn't then call it chocolate.
They didn't buy Cadburys, they bought the rights to produce it.
@@dazza9326they did buy Cadburys. It's owned by Kraft via a subsidiary company and they did change the recipes.
They changed them to reduce cost almost straight away, but after negative feedback, they went back.
What it produces now is not as good as pre-sale of Cadburys, but is much better than it was just after the sale. It's still pretty decent and has that unique Cadburys flavour.
The boxes are often produced by other smaller companies/factories on behalf of Cadburys and these can be of questionable quality and you can taste the difference (e.g. Heroes, Roses, etc.).
It may also mention that they've gradually been reducing the size of chocolates whilst increasing prices for years, but they're hardly alone in that.
Perhaps the most obvious difference is in things like chocolate eggs and and the general texture of the chocolate (anyone born in the 90s or before will be old enough to remember that).
@@dazza9326They did buy Cadbury and they very quickly closed down the old Fry's factory here in Keynsham, Bristol which is now a housing estate.
Not English law (I think you actually meant British law) , it's European law.
@@dazza9326 Kraft who owns Cadbury now are an American company they keep trying to change recipe so yes plonchy is right.
Get yourself a PO Box, and we'll send you some proper chocolate, Tyler. Even the "Cadbury's" chocolate that is produced in America is said to be far inferior to what is produced in the UK. There is really just no comparison - you'll never look at Hershey's in the same way again, once you've tasted some British and European brands. Belgian and Swiss chocolate are said to be the best of all!
He has had European chocolate before (Tyler Walker)..Norway channel). He got food sent on his Canada channel too (Tyler Bucket). .He just plays dumb for the videos..sorry but don't waste your time and money.
@@nolajoy7759 wow thanks
I agree
Tyler doesn't read comments
Hoping that Tyler Whatever will ever read and react to ANY comments is like a broken pencil. POINTLESS!
Fry's in England was already producing chocolate bars before Hershey.
Fry's was the first ever solid chocolate bar in the world (and sold the world's first chocolate easter eggs). Fry's were founded in 1761 - by contrast, Hershey's began in 1894.
I think theirs might have had less milk, I love dark chocolate and I love Fry's Chocolate Cream it was the first mass-produced chocolate bar and is the world's oldest chocolate bar brand and it is now owned by Cadbury
Yes, Hersheys does indeed taste exactly like vomit after-taste.
It's a very, very nasty aftertaste. Someone brought some Hershey's Kisses into the office. They hung around for a week and were eventually binned.
UK chocolate is far more superior.. and the Brits can taste the difference in a heartbeat! I’ve tasted US chocolate and it really IS vile.. My son lives in US and doesn’t like their chocolate. When I sent a box of UK chocolate over to him, he was over the moon to eat his beloved treats!
My sister brought us back a box of called Milk duds or something like that when they went to New York. I'm not joking they were the most vile things I've ever tasted.🤢🤮 They had actually bought two packets tried them didn't like them so gave the other to me.🤣🤣🤣
i tried us chocolate sometimes, but it always tasted some kind of off. But i always thought it was just gone bad because of the transport, never thought this was the intended taste....
(glad to have Austrian/Swiss/German chocolate at every supermarket here)
I send British chocolate to 2 of my brothers who live in USA for Christmas (they both married American ladies hence live there) - they love getting British chocolate as a treat!
UK chocolate better than US, but if you want good chocolate you have to go Swiss (Lindt), Belgian (Cote Dor), Swedish (Marabou), or possibly Finnish (Fazer)
@@Justabitnoseylol bless you 😂
If you are going to try Cadbury chocolate, please make sure it is imported and not made by Hershey
he will not do anything similar. he just stamps up his videos for the views and never looks back. he already forgot he made this video.
@@damyryeah I know. I thought it was worth a try though 😁
I have a few friends in the US, and they themselves have noticed a really strange trend. Quite often when people go abroad - especially for a longer period of time - they end up getting sick from the foreign foods. But instead of this happening with Americans, they end up getting sick only once they _return_ to the US and start eating American food again. There's also a trend of Americans moving abroad, and discovering that despite eating 'apparently' the "same stuff" they ate back in the US they have actually started _losing_ weight. Both of these weird things goes to prove just _how_ unhealthy US food really is, and how much chemicals are put in American food that really shouldn't be there. Literally using the _same chemical_ that gives vomit it's taste in US chocolate really doesn't surprise me at this point, but does explain why I've never liked Hersheys or Reeses Cups which have recently gone on sale in my local supermaket.
The people running Hershey's aren't stupid though. If a different taste becomes wildly popular and it impacts their sales, they absolutely _will_ switch their production methods over to achieve this new taste. So they'll probably only suffer a slight dip in sales for a short while before once again re-taking the top spot of chocolate sales in the US.
Tyler still can’t wrap his head around things being different in other countries.
He says as an American trying American chocolate, he likes it and can’t understand why Europeans find it sour.
How would you possibly know if American chocolate is more sour than European chocolate, if you have only tasted American chocolate. You have nothing to compare it to.
Tyler: "I wish I could go back 10 minutes to before I knew all this"
Don't worry, 10 minutes after you've watched the video, you'll forget it, and release another video in a months time.
Tyler Dory 🙄
And won't read your comment, yes :-)
Tyler is wonderfully immune to learning and retention.
Every American I've seen doing a taste test comparison of US vs European chocolate is blown away by how much better European chocolate tastes. And every comment section under them is full of people being given presents of Hershey chocolate from people's holidays in the US and then throwing it in the bin cos they think it's gone off, only to find this is actually what it really tastes like. Scroll down, I bet I'm right.
I got a first hand taste of this when my sister went to America years ago, She knows I love chocolate so bought me a bunch of it while there and other kinds of american sweets, I managed one maybe two bites of each, The taste was absolutely disgusting and my sister didn't believe me so I made her try them herself.
She threw them in the bin herself right afterwards, It's like this wierd sour taste similar to vomit either in the initial bite or in the aftertaste, I later tried a few of those same chocolates again but bought here in the UK and they were SO much better, No nasty aftertaste or anything.
From what I've heard from Americans who tried UK and US chocolate side by side they almost immediately noticed the difference.
Personal reccomendation if you want to try some UK chocolate try both Cadbury's and Galaxy, They are different from one another but both are good.
Oh the Galaxy vs Cadbury is a huge one... 90% of the time I’m totally Dairy Milk I will accept nothing else... when I’ve had a migraine or it’s my “time of the month” I crave Galaxy and dairy milk just won’t cut it... weird I know 🤷🏻♀️
Canadian here. Their chocolate tastes different to ours as well but I found it an off-flavour. Sort of bitter or something that I could never put my finger on.
Yes, it really does have the taste of vomit to us.
I remember the first ime I ate American chocolate. I was in the army, working with a squad of marines, who had brought some with them. It was a Hershey bar, something I had seen in a hundred movies and adverts, and I was really excited. At first I thought that maybe it was an out of date bar, or that something had gone wrong with it in storage. It was waxy, super sweet, and almost flavourless apart from a strange sourness that I couldn't quite put my finger on. I spat it out, much to the horror of my American friend, who was quite offended by my reaction.
I refused to try any of the other bars he had, and offered him a Cadburys caramel as an example of what I was used to. He tried to pretend that he didn't like it in retaliation, but he ate the whole thing in less than 5 minutes. I have never eaten American chocolate since, and it sells very poorly here. Some stores won't even stock it. Partly because nobody will buy it at the ridiculous import prices, but mainly because it's awful.
Ditto! I was so excited to try my first Hershey bar several years ago. I thought I'd bought a bad one so bought another. Over the years tried other US brands on trips to the states and none of them were good. They all just tasted ...off.
American Hersheys chocolate tastes of vomit.
It's so true! Whilst living in the US I couldn't eat the chocolate there! It tasted awful.
tyler
open a P.O. box
so we can introduce you to beer and chocolate from Belgium lol
He had one and I sent stuff as did others but there was no acknowledgement or video of any kind. Then a few weeks later he closed it. I used tracked delivery so I know he got it. He’s never replied to a single comment on any of his videos. Ever.
When I was a kid, my Dad used to bring me loads of American sweets from New York. And they were, without exception, truly REVOLTING! They were the 'food' equivalent of (say) Kim Kardashian to Sophia Loren. Our American Cousins must have palates specifically re-configured to find crap somehow appealing. As for Hershey's...
Cadburys chocolate use to be so yummy way back in the 70’s and 80’s it used to be to be so creamy and delicious . Since the sold it to Krafts in 2010 and then resold it on never been the same..The inventors of Cadburys chocolate would be turning in the grave !! Go look into the History of Cadbury’s Chocolate very interesting!! They were Quakers and they loved their workers and built them houses to help them live in better conditions in the community of Bournville Uk.. My family grew up in Bournville in the 1940’s
I was born about 15 miles from Bournville, but never actually been there. Hopefully will get to some day, but I now live around 290 miles away.
But Cadbury's didn't allow pubs or any alcohol in Bournville as they were teetotal and saw the destitution caused by cheap alcohol in the Victorian period.
I won’t buy Cadbury any more - it’s foul
Yes, while I still eat Cadbury milk chocolate, it is noticeably different. Perhaps it is the mouthfeel is not so creamy and the chocolate not so chocolatey.
@@skipper409 UK Cadbury is made from the same recipe that it always has been, it's the US Hershey version that has changed and that can't be sold in this country. I don't really buy the stuff myself as I prefer other brands, but it's OK, there's a lot of conspiracy theories bing spread about changes, but Dairy Milk is still the same. Not sure about Bournville though.
You’d be shocked if you managed to get hold of European chocolate. Yes Hershey use additives in milk to make it last longer, in doing so it makes it taste like vomit. So the US palate has been trained to accept it. This has been the case since WWII.
He actually has tasted European chocolate. He got hold of Norwegian Kvikk Lunsj some time ago. Even if Kvikk Lunsj is a biscuit chocolate, like Kit Kat, it is covered with ordinary, Norwegian milk chocolate from Freia, which is the best chocolate if you ask any Norwegian. He probably don't want to mention it since this is another channel primarily focused on UK.
When you do taste real chocolate, you will never want Hershey's again.
Or any Cadbury's. I like Flakes tho.
I'm from Belgium and our chocolate and pralines taste very good. Belgian chocolate is known for the use of high-quality cocoa beans. These beans are carefully selected from different regions around the world, choosing only the best quality. The use of high-quality cocoa beans ensures a unique taste and texture in Belgian chocolate and has therefore been found to be the best in the world. But a piece of chocolate is not cheap.
Belgian and Swiss chocolate are both wonderful. UK makes some as well, and even Canada has a few independent stores which craft great chocolate. USA makes... lots of money.
Cadbury is the cheap, low end chocolate in England ( there's far far better available) but it's still miles better than hershey's.
In your opinion....Cadbury isn't low end
That is rubbish. Cadbury in England has always been considered good. Definitely not low end and the American Cadbury is nothing like the English Cadbury.
@@chucklepalace of course it is.
It's the cheap, regular stuff sold in shops/supermarkets.
@@valeriedavidson2785 it's just basic chocolate, no where near as good as "real" chocolate.

American chocolate tastes like fake chocolate and its too sweet
And plastic, it doesn’t melt like ours! 🇬🇧
With added vomit.
It's actually tastes like sick because they pasteurise in a vacuum which creates butyric acid the same acid in sick
It's illegal to do this in the UK for consumer consumption
@@thearmouredpenguin7148
Exactly sick taste read my other comment for why
Because it is fake chocolate
In Europe and the uk many consider Cadbury is not a quality product.
Try Swiss, Belgian chocolate and taste the quality
Cadbury in the uk have been bought out by an American company and they changed the recipe. Typical American companies buy a foreign company that is doing really well and then we will fuck it up.
We can get really good ‘English’ chocolate, as well as Swiss (I hate Belgian chocolate - never understood why it’s supposed to be good), but it’s definitely NOT Cadbury’s, and it’s really expensive and hard to find ones that aren’t too sweet. Continentals, understandably, look down their noses at the revolting mixture of fat and sugar that we can get in our local corner shops, so I dread to think what American chocolate is like.
@@geemo4284 so what ‘english’ is this then?
As for not liking Belgian chocolate can I suggest you have a trip to Brussels and try it there.
Europeans do not look down their nose at us they are puzzled why we call something chocolate when it is technically ‘vegilate’ as there is some much vegetable oil in it.
@@JohnSmith-bx8zb , chocolate made in England? I, personally, like Ombar, as well as a few companies, that are local to me, that make chocolate with a high cocoa content. They are expensive, though, and harder to source than the stuff we can get in my nearest village. I did not say the continentals look down their noses at US, but at what we call chocolate, and I entirely understand them. That is just another way of saying they don’t like it and think that it is not chocolate, which is merely supporting what you have already said, so not quite sure why you have an issue with it.
@@geemo4284 I got a bar of “english chocolate’ for Christmas, true it did taste well but at £12.50 when checked. I reckon though value for money Swiss was a better option.
A trip to Lidl offers some good European chocolate
When i went to New York a few years ago I bought some Hershey bars for my colleagues at work.... needless to say they were left uneaten.... one woman took them home and said her dog wouldn't even eat it 😂😂

Good thing, since chocolate of any kind isn't good for dogs.
@@StuartistStudio1964 I thought that too
NEVER feed chocolate to dogs - or cats. It is *highly toxic* to them, causing liver failure (they can't process theobromine, as we can).

@@wessexdruid7598That's a shame, he could learn something!
When I visited America I foolishly bought loads of Hershey chocolate. Took one bite and deposited it all in the bin, it’s disgusting.
The first chocolate bar was created in 1847 by Joseph Fry & Son of Bristol, England.
Fry''s factory was actually in Keynsham, a couple of miles outside Bristol towards Bath. I used to live right opposite the factory when it was still making chocolate and still remember the smell today.
@@benstatham9070 The Somerdale factory only dates from 1923 (after the 1919 merger with Cadbury). They first began production in Newgate Street, then Union Street, in the City of Bristol. In 1881 an ex-employee set up in competition - that company (Packers) went on to make the Famous Names and Elizabeth Shaw brands.
The Frys, McIntoshes, Cadburys and Rowntrees were all Quaker families and tended to co-operate, not compete, with each other. It was common for younger family members to work in the other families' businesses.
In the late 90s I helped commission the Cadbury factory in Chudovo, along with a contingent from Somerdale and Cadbury Toronto.
@@wessexdruid7598 Thanks for the info. I wasn't aware of the previous history.
@@wessexdruid7598 My favourite chocolate bar growing up in Western Canada was the Rowntree Four Flavours. Sadly they aren't available here anymore.
American chocolate is totally different to European chocolate. I personally don’t like Hersheys. I’ve not tried any others, it put me right off.
Ir's not just Europe when Hersheys came to Australia we bought a small block and never finished it.
If you going to send for chocolate get swiss. That is definitely the best you can get. Milk come from cows out in the hills sides and makes it chocolate amazing. But I also think it's the cacao bean that is used and what country you chocolate factory gets there from. Ecuador (nacional)

I bought a Hershey bar here in the UK a few months ago to taste. I had a bite and never again... to me it tastes like metal with sugar syrup poured on it.
It's not just Europeans, people everywhere think the same. It's something you cant understand until you try both. Comparison video coming up for Tyler. US Cadbury is made by Hershey.
Yes, apart from Europeans like him living in America 😂
Cadbury is only popular in the UK but not all in Europa. For example in germany it's pretty rare and not the most popular brand... that would be "Milka" and "Kinder"
There's simply no comparison between American chocolate & European chocolate, once tasted, you'll never go back.
We like our chocolate to taste of chocolate and our cheese to taste of cheese😊
For a country that prefers their beer to taste like urine, wanting them to understand cheese or chocolate is a bit of a leap lol.
I am biased, but Belgian chocolate is the best. Swiss chocolat also is very good. I have been to the States many times, never tried a Hersey bar. Maybe i should next time😅. But to be honest ( even as a sweethtooth), i tried patries and cake in the U.S., too sweet. They look better than they taste.
I agree, imo Belgian chocolate is the best. I also like Dutch chocolate a lot (but I am Dutch myself, so I grew up with it). Swiss chocolate is also good, but lots of times quite sweet (for my taste). Idk if there is more sugar in Swiss chocolate? US chocolate is meh. The texture is not nice, it doesnt melt well and way too sweet and yes, a sourish aftertaste
Swiss is the best,
@@cmo6055I'm also Dutch. I actually like the Swiss chocolate best, when it comes to Dark chocolate. Try Lindt chocolate. They sell it with different cocoa percentage, all the way up to 99%. Certainly not 'too sweet'. 😅
Of course we also have very good chocolate in The Netherlands. 'Droste' makes some of the best in my opinion.
@@MacXpert74 yes, I know Lindt. It is very good. 99% is a bit too much for me, but the 90% one is good! I like milk chocolate the best tho, but the swiss ones (milk chocolate) are a bit sweeter imo, even Lindt. Still very good chocolate, I am going to Switzerland this summer, so I will buy a lot of Lindt!
@@cmo6055I see, I actually hardly ever eat milk chocolate, so I don't know how their milk chocolate compares to others. But their dark chocolate is very good, and indeed the 99% is too much. I personally prefer the 70%.
UK chocolate doesn't have a high reputation in much of Europe either and countries like Belgium, Switzerland, France and Italy arguably produce better quality in everyday chocolate (though UK now has more artisanal chocolate makers producing chocolate like the European countries).
I agree, nowadays I try to avoid Cadbury's chocolate.
I agree Belgium and Swiss chocolate is much better than Cadburys, but French chocolate is pretty tasteless. As a child I used to visit my aunt and uncle who lived near a large chocolate factory in Blois called “Poulain”. They bought it for me as a treat and I used to “save it for later” before secretly throwing it away.
Even though you are used to and enjoy your own chocolate for the most part, most people from the states can accept and appreciate that UK and other European chocolate does taste better, even though it's different to what they are used to.
There are stores all over the US in which you can find International food stuffs, including chocolate so you should investigate and buy a few bars of Cadburys or other Europen chocolate and give them a try. I think you would be pleasantly surprised 😄 A lot of other American reactors have gone down that route and can't get enough of it now 😁
But don't buy Cadbury's produced in the US- it's totally different. It has to be imported from the UK for a true comparison.
@@carolineskipper6976 Yes, I should have said, UK produced Cadburys 👍
Tyler doesn't ever read the comments.
@@wessexdruid7598 I think people comment for the benefit of other followers who might read the comments and be interested. We know he never reads anything.
@@carolineskipper6976 That's certainly why I comment - but some clearly don't realise, so it's worth repeating.
There was a story going round that Hershey's had to remove the word 'chocolate' from all packaging when selling outside the USA because it didn't contain enough to classify as such. Even the video you're watching didn't actually account for the 20% difference in cocoa used.
So, ask Tyler Bucket to find out if butyric acid is used to produce the Canadian brands of chocolate bars he sampled in December (/23).
Not only is your chocolate not pleasant, it's not even chocolate. It's a rancid curse upon the very concept of chocolate. Swiss and Belgian chocolate is the gold standard.
I traveled 6 or 7 times in USA to visit my friends. The only thing asked me from Belgium is chocolate, more as a can. They were in heaven for weeks!
A colleague who had just returned from a vacation in the US brought back some Hershey chocolate bars for the office to try. Absolutely nobody in the office liked the taste of the Hershey bars. It was horrible compared to our UK chocolate.
Buy Lindt or Cadbury…..we eat a ton of Lindt chocolate in Canada.
Lindt is from Germany. Normslly a bit more expensive than Milka Choclate. Both are good
Lindt is big as Cadbury here in Australia too, and far nicer in my opinion
@@silviahannak3213Lindt is actually a Swiss brand. Milka is German. I like Lindt for their dark chocolate and Milka has some nice hazelnut chocolate.
@@silviahannak3213Lindt is Swiss. German chocolate can’t compete. 😘
Lindt is good, compared to other Swiss or Belgian chocolate brands it's on the lower ranks.
Would also recommend Italian chocolate. Perugina from Perugia in Umbria. Each year Perugia has a chocolate festival. Wonderful !
I went on at my mum to buy me a Hershey bar when I was a kid (it was expensive) She finally gave in and my god. I thought it was off. It was nasty, chalky and tasted like sick 😅
You really have to taste Finnish chocolate called Fazer. Amazing stuff!
honestly for european choclate your best bet would be belgian or swiss chocolate. generally swiss chocolate tends to be more creamy whilest belgian chocolate is more intense in flavor. "côte d'or mignonette" is a good exemple of belgian hyper commercial milk chocolate and anything milka/toblerone is a good example of swiss hyper commercial chocolate. if you want higher quality then brands like neuhaus, guylain, godiva, are good/well known belgian brands whilest for swis brand i don't know many (i'm very biased as a belgian in that sense xD) but i've heard that lindt is a good swiss one.
Really interesting and informative. Many thanks.
If you want to try european style chocolate come to Canada or order some online since it can be shipped to you. The cadbury you find at your local store is actually made by hershey. She is true it's not your vault, it's hershey's. The rumour goes when his sour chocolate wasn't selling he petioned the government to increase tax on import or block, ban the sale of euro chocolate in the US. For cadbury to get back into the US market they had to give hershey production rights for the US. Wasn't til later that cadbury found out that hershey was using it's recipe for chocolate instead of the euro version of chocolate. When cadbury complained about it hershey just said nothingbin the contract said which choclate recipe to use.
I started hating it in the U.S. as a young adult. Sugary sweet and a burn in the throat. Totally bogus compared to European chocolate. I live in Budapest, Hungary now, not far from Vienna, Austria. Paradise.
Butyric acid is indeed a component of vomit. The chemical that gives butter its 'rancid' smell is, I think, the related chemical Butylene thiol.(CH3 CH2 CH2 SH)
Remember Americans had to haul their milk from the Mid-West to the factories in Pennsylvania (or wherever). Europeans had far shorter haulage distances, so preservatives aren't as critical.
You would be amazed if you saw the choice of different chocolate bars, we have. I call it confectionery because I only eat 85% dark chocolate.
Yes I prefer dark chocolate over milk
Yeah...do your first taste test video! :) Europeans heat butyric acid too, especially in cheeses, but probably many other things to, we just don't expect to mix it with cocoa.
I always wondered why the yank stuff tasted like it had gone off. Now we know!
Imagine if he tried the teal Belgian stuff. It would blow his mind.
If you can import some European chocolate, I would recommend Swiss chocolate from Lindt for dark chocolate (they sell different kinds for instance with 70% cocoa) or German chocolate from Milka with hazelnuts. Or Belgium Chocolate from Côte d’Or or Italian Chocolate from Ferrero Rocher or from my native country The Netherlands; Droste Chocolate. All great tasting chocolates!
Canadian here, even our chocolate tastes different from American chocolate because our chocolate is produced by Nestle and they use different recipes from Hershey as well.
Cadbury had their own subsidiary in Canada - don't they still exist?
@@wessexdruid7598 I honestly don't know.
@@amandadaley4182 From Google: _"Cadbury Canada is now part of Mondelez Canada and products are featured on the Snackworks website."_
The factory was built in Toronto, in 1906 - but the chocolate has always had a different taste because Canadian cows are grain-fed, not grass.
I had chocolate produced in the US by the way, and its true, it as a sour and sweetly sick after taste that makes you feel sick, I had Hershey bars.
British chocolate is good but you need to go to mainland Europe if you want the really good stuff. Belgian and Swiss chocolate reign supreme in the UK, but i believe other countries like Italy are also masters at chocolate making
I have never been in agreement with that. I have even had chocolate in Belgium and I don't agree. A few years ago Cadbury Bournville chocolate was delicious. Not quite as good now that Kraft have bought it but I still prefer Cadbury to European chocolate.
Yes! I have just discovered some chocolate biscuits made on Italy that are out of this world good..of you like hazelnuts/noisettes, Loader biscuits (the original variety) are amazing. Was surprised they were made in Italy..taste like Swiss.
Unfortunatly Cadbury apparently had a fall from grace in the last few years (at least judging by what i read in the other comments), i would recommend other brands such as "Milka" (basicaly hersheys without the acid, they are famous for the purple cow which is always depicted on the packaging of their chocolate bars) or "Lindt" (they make high quality chocolate and are most famous for their chocolate bunnies which come with a small bell bound around the neck[I personally prefer them because they are one of the few brands which offer 70-100% chocolate bars]).
My Dad served in the British army throughout Europe during WWII. My eldest sister remembers he brought home German army issued chocolate (comandered from pow's)when he was on leave and it was apparently very high quality with more cocoa than our chocolate.
Next comes a video of eating european chocolate for the first time. I'd recommend galaxy for the best budget chocolate. and Lindt for fancy chocolate.
Try to get British Cadbury's Dairy milk and Bournville plain chocolate, they are not the best but are superior in flavour to any American 'chocolate' bars, and of course British And European cows are mostly grass fed, unlike in America where they are mostly kept indoors and grain fed which reduces the quality and flavour of the milk, but makes it cheaper to produce so more profit for the Corporations.
Try it yourself. Try to find "Milka" chocolate bars for example.
I guess LIDL or ALDI should be good to look for it there. They are german retail chains after all, they should also have some of the "native" products.
Indeed, Milka is good, I think it's from Poland. Better than the other continental Syrup and even beats Cadbury.
If you want really nice chocolate, try something from Belgium. British chocolate is OK, certainly better than American 🤮, but it isn't the best.
Chocolate is Switzerland is also good, I would rate it as second best after Belgium.
To answer your question, Americans who visit the UK will often go to our Tesco Express stores to buy Cadburys, and they generally the taste.
What makes me crack up is, if this was Tyler’s brother Ryan reacting to this, at the first mention of vomit and anal, he would have got up and left the room in disgust. Tyler just expresses his distaste in pulling faces…brilliant.
The other difference is Ryan reads and interacts with the comments. He is braver.
Cadbury, Nessler and Galaxy chocolate are what I grew up on, I did favour mars bars as a kid it was just enough for a snack but the galaxy chocolate was more satisfying as a young adult... Cadbury is one of those chocolates you have on special occasion, like Thornton's... It's delicious but too much.
Nestlé (formerly Nestles)?
Hershey Chocolate products, when introduced into Canada, sold at the very beginning because of curiosity. Then the sales plummeted. Hershey had to change the recipe for their products to meet Canadians' tastes. US Hershey chocolate contains 10% cocoa by mass, whereas Canadian chocolate must have a minimum of 25% cocoa by mass. Additionally, there are a number of other subtle differences. Taste Canadian chocolate and the difference is quite profound. Chimo
Great movie, and it even is funny to me, since the explanation of the difference in taste between Hersey's and European chocolate is made with Cadbury's. In continental Europe Cadbury's is not seen as chocolate, but as a chocolate product or just 'a candy'. Chocolate must contain both cocoa and cocoa butter, and does not have vegetable fat or oils added. Cadbury's contain vegetable fats and is thus not chocolate. It also does not substitute cocoa ingredients with large amounts of sugar, sugar, and sugar before you find other any other ingredients of the 'chocolate bar' (like Hersey's).
As a child I was crazy for Cadbury's. My grandmother would buy a luxury box full of Cadbury's sweets and toffees once a year. Some candies were without a toffee stuffing, but we never considered those as chocolate, we saw them as chocolate candy 💁♀️
On the mainland in Europe you will find Cadbury's in the chocolate section next to the chocolate bars (with bonbons and chocolate candy like kitkat) or in the candy section. I am not sure if you can find Hersey's in any European supermarket. You won't find in my country, the Netherlands.
I guess we indeed do not like the taste. I tried it in Brazil once and no, it did not appeal to my taste buds as 'nice chocolate'. I ate 3 pieces and then I was done with it...
You can find chocolate candy bars like 'Reeses'. I never liked them as to me they taste sour and super sugary.
I hope one day you are able to taste Belgium, Dutch or Swiss chocolate. Though I think you might consider them to be bitter as we don't add so much sugar. Perhaps Toblerone (Swiss, with pieces of nougat in it) or Tony's Chocolony (Dutch, many crazy flavours, like blueberry and pansies, but especially their salty caramel is the bomb) will be tasty to you!
European Chocolate will change your life!
Once you go Cadbury you'll never go Hershey
Several years ago, I took a trip to Austurias, Spain. I bought some of the famous Austurian white chocolate to gift to friends back home. I made the mistake of opening and eating one of the bars. It was so delicious that I could not help finishing off all the chocolate before I even made it on to the plane back home. I told my friends that when it comes to gifts, it's really the thought that counts anyway.
Hej. I'm from Poland a counry in Europe. A big smile for you, because you're so funny.😊
Get yourself a p.o. box so we can send you some proper chocolate.
Indeed Belgium chocolade The best😊
They can buy it from the "British" shop.
I like chocolate but when I was a teenager going to America I naively didn't know of the differences between our chocolate. I bought a bar of Hersheys mostly out of curiosity because I'd heard so much about it. Took one bite and couldn't help but spit it out! I'm not exaggerating to say it tasted like vomit. Vile. Truly vile. However their ice cream is better lol.
Its not so much a case of "our soldiers need more chocolate" as it is " our factory needs more profit!".
Bro I have just got back from the states, and your chocolate is discussing,but you can find English chocolate at the American shops, cadburys at your nearest store
But it's not the same as English Cadbury, it's made by Hershey with different ingredients!
“THEY DID SOMETHING…..” 😂😅
Lipolysis happens in your gut - and the butyrate is a by-product of digestion - hence relation to vomit - butyrate can be used by your body - and in the right context within the gut is a useful nutrient, however, in essence your chocolate is pre-digested and this is not great for your gut biome and the emulsifiers can damage your gut wall causing unwanted leakage into your blood before the desired stage of digestion further down the digestive tract - so while still high in calories our chocolate is better for your health than the USA version. And yes, we do think your chocolate is of very low quality , oversweet with a grainy texture and tastes of vomit. Now that we have refrigeration you can use whole milk without nuking it to foul American UHT dysfunctional milk products or artificially pre-digesting it. I recommend you get a freind to send you some decent English chocolate or Swiss or Belgian chocolate and taste the difference. If you like creamy milk chocolate, a lot of people love Galaxy, or Lindt for higher end high cocoa content chocolates. I also love Leonidas fresh cream Belgian chocolate, unfortunately several British and European brands have been taken over by large american corporations such as Kraft, Nestle, Mars and Schweppes and so on, and as a result have gone way downhill as their quality has been compromised by American style over-sweetening and cutting corners, but still nowhere near as bad as American chocolate due to the stronger food safety regulation in Europe and the UK - And we don't pre-digest the milk. Btw don't trust Cadbury's in the USA it is made by Hersheys to "suit American taste" so is absolutely NOT the same as British chocolate. Have tried Hersheys and Reeses in the UK and they are different to the USA version but still over-sweet and vile tasting and gritty inferior quality - AVOID !
Do try some of our chocolate made in the UK - compare our versions of Mars and Snickers Bars for direct comparisons as well as our better brands like Green and Black ( Organic Free trade version of Cadbury's ),, Montezuma and so on. Terrys and Rowntree were bought out by Nestle but the UK versions are still VERY much better than the USA versions. Good quality chocolate is very popular here and we have many more products than the miserable and vile tasting selection I've seen in the USA. As an aside - the UHT/homogenised abhomination that the USA calls milk tastes vastly and unfavourably different to fresh or simply pasteurised milk from cows free to roam in pasture rather than factory animals fed on waste-products from processing. Animal welfare is tightly regulated in the UK and Europe and as a result the Milk and Meat etc contains way, way less unwanted pesticide residues, anti-biotics ( needed in the USA because the welfare is so bad ) and other unpleasant chemicals arising from additives and ultra high heat processing to kill the bugs that your poor animal welfare and shoddy unhygienic food processing demands to keep your food "fresh" ( ie not rotting on the shelf) You'll find that real cheese and butter and cream and milk taste and in fact most real food is far better in Europe and the UK than they typically do in the USA as do the products that contain them.
Go for some Marabou chocolate; can be found in Ikea, Amazon, scandinaviangoods, ...
This was too funny 😆
Great video.
Be precise: American chocolate contains the same compound as baby vomit (among other many other things), it does not contain baby vomit.
Butyric acid han an incredibly bad smell. Other relate compounds, called carboxylic acids, have also strong odours. Examples: Acetic acid is in vinegar; caproic and caproylic acids smell like goats; enanthoic acid smells rancid...
When I visited NYC in 2005 had a great time in the Hersheys store on Times Square and spent loads. It all went in the bin!
Yes did taste like vomit, almost made me vomit!
Gross stuff, never again! Will stick to my Cadburys from the UK, or something nice from Belgium or Switzerland!
It is like how Vegemite became Australians favorite food spread. The Australian government gave it to their solders in their rations and to kids in schools as a vitamin supplement. Before WW2 they could barely give away Vegemite in Australia. Those that did eat Yeast Extract spreads preferred Marmite but it became scarce in Australia due to shipping problems during WW2.
It is a custom, here in the UK that on returning from vacation you bring your co workers a treat. Bars of "Rock" candy if holidaying in the UK. Jars of sweets from Europe or Turkish delight from the Middle east. I went to Seattle a number of years ago to a wedding and I brought back two packs of assorted flavoured Hershey Mini bars. Treats left out for your co-workers next to your Tea making facilities are usually gone half an hour later! The Hershey bars, especially the white milk flavoured ones were still there two weeks later and I had to throw them away! I bought myself a normal bar of "Hershey's and ate it. It was okay, but not a patch on Cadbury!
Cadbury changed their recipe some years ago, moving the taste closer to US chocolate bars - and it means I can no longer eat it.
For 'mainstream' chocolate now my go-to is Galaxy.
Galaxy is very nice..a UK friend brought some to Australia for me. And some choc sweets that were about 5 flavours in one bag..coffee, orange, caramel.....I forget the name..super yummy.
@@nolajoy7759I think they might be Revels
Cadbury did change the flavour by reducing the cocoa solids and replacing with more cocoa butter and veg fat. But they have not and will not use butyric acid as it is believed the British would stop buying it because it would taste of vomit.
And it was changed back again to the UK recipe after campaigning by the public.
@@sjbictthank god for that !
Hey Tyler. You should do as some other UA-camrs do and leave a PO BOX address so we can send you things like chocolate to try.
Tyler doesn't read the comments.
@@katyroseable yeah. I’ve noticed. It’s odd for someone who wants to learn about the U.K.

Usual problem, Quantity over quality. UK and Europe goes for quality not as the US which goes for quantity.
