    I’m assuming you of course are aware, but that is a tasting note. As in hersheys will specifically call out that tasting note as intentional if you do a tasting tour. It explained why I only ever liked their special dark and hates their regular bar.

      It was very word for me. Like with most American products that were in TV series, but weren’t available in Europei was anxious to try them first time I went to the states.

      Mountain dew was amazing. Taco Bell was not all I imagine it to be, but Hershey’s was just straight up disgusting.

      It’s a tasting note, because the original Hershey’s milk chocolate chemist accidentally spoiled the milk as part of his process.

      It took a decade or two to figure out what was wrong, but by then the American public was used to vomit tasting milk chocolate.
