Yep im from the UK and moved to US 5 yrs ago!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.I was shocked at how bad the chocolate is her!. Hersheys tastes like poop (or what i imagine poop tastes like)!.!.!.!.!.!.if you spend money on more gourmet chocolate its good!.!.!.!.more like european style!.!.!.!.!.!.!.that said, I have found one good cheapy US choccy bar----the good old nestle crunch- yum!Www@FoodAQ@Com

One of my professors just talked to our class about this!. Hersheys, in Pennsylvania, used to import their milk from, Iowa I think, way back in the day!. They decided to change their milk supplier at some point, and found that the flavor of the chocolate, which was what Hershey customers expected, had changed!. They investigated the flavor difference, and found that the characteristic "Flavor Change" came from an increased lipolysis from the milk coming from Iowa!. They were then able to formulate their chocolate with increased lipolytic flavors to maintain their flavor!.
Your comment is interesting, because lipolytic, or broken down lipid flavors, are also in high concentrations in vomit!. I guess Americans just got used to that flavor, and now expect it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, my friend is from Austria and she brings me good chocolate!. American chocolate (and american food in general) is disgusting because it is made from a mixture of chemicals all designed to make you get addicted!. If you read the ingredients, American chocolate is not really chocolate at all - its pure sugar with chemicals and then some cocoa added!. European chocolate is mostly cocoa!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

it is because Americans are cheap and they r always trying to find a way to make something cheap even though it tastes like crap!. and most of the chocolate comes from china that is in the us, and who has ever heard of Chinese making world renown chocolate!?!?!? it just doesn't work out when u use cheap ingredients and have noodle makers make ur chocolate!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I agree, it is very nasty!. The nastiest I have ever had had "HERSHEY" written on the label!. It was not real chocolate at all!. I am not surprised that all Americans have problems with food and health!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yeah I've had American chocolate, and I didn't mind it so much!. Everyone else thought it was horrible, though!. It's because they put less sugar and a lot more artificial crap in their chocolate!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yea it tastes weird, dry and really cheap

But then again it could be just the type I had
I mean Americans seem to really like their candy so there must be better types out there

But really nothing could beat a good bar of CadburysWww@FoodAQ@Com

The sacrifice made to prolong shelf life!.So it taste consistently icky , no matter how long its been hanging around!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
