Today, the Mexican Government introduced its new chocolate bar, priced at less than $1USD. Made of 50% cocoa, powdered milk, vanilla. No refined sugar, no artificial flavourings. (files.catbox.moe)

Try chocolate that wasn't made in America...

I'm actually very fond of the US but the chocolate is absolute filth, sorry lads. I was so excited to try Hershey's and holy moly was it an earth shattering disappointment.

Born and bred in America and won’t eat American chocolate - literally tastes like vomit. And I do mean literally - Hershey’s chocolate goes through a process called lipolysis that breaks down their milk some and introduces butyric acid, which gives Parmesan, sour cream and other pungent dairy foods (and vomit) their smells.

When they perfected the process so it didn't happen anymore, people stopped buying their chocolate as it 'tasted funny' now and they started adding it artificially

Literally stockholm syndromed into enjoying the flavor of vomit...

No wonder our country is fucked, it was founded by morons

There's more American chocolate than just Hersey. This is like saying american burgers are filth because McDonalds exists.

[-] khannie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

There is. That's fair, and some of it was decent and that's not to say that all American chocolate is bad because that would be stupid of course, as you say. And I'm sure there's top notch American chocolate. Of course there is.

But, the dominant chocolate, the one that foreigners associate with the US, was shite IMO. That's all.

And tbh I do like an oul' mackers. I wouldn't call McDonald's the Hershey's of burgers.

This is all subjective and I'm not being a cunt. I just was expecting sparkles in my mouth and I got.... Hershey's.

Fair, fair. And I may not agree with your take on Micky Dees, but goddamn I respect it!

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
