Because Kraft bought it and ruined it. America ruined Cadbury.
It's very different now, I can't really eat it anymore compared to what it was.
A great British tragedy.

It's chocolate.
Just like tacos and just like pizza it's all fine. Sure some of it's better than others but it's all fine.

Tons of good chocolates made in the US, Canada, Europe, Asia and South America:

Hershey's =/= American chocolate just like Cadburys =/= British chocolate. They are each mass produced, cheap and low quality options.

I'm fine with it as normal standard issue grocery store eisle chocolate. Yes, there's better stuff out there, but its fine as a $1 grocery store purchase. Plus Cookies and Crème, Peanut Butter Cups and Kit Kat fucking rock.
If you're in the US then Cadburys is licensed to Hershey and it is produced differently. I do love Dairy Milk but I wouldn't call it quality chocolate.
It's really bad.
If I'm going to eat something that's got more bad than good in it from a health standpoint, I'm not going to waste it on trash. There are dozens of great chocolate makers in the US. It costs more but it tastes 50x better and I get much more satisfaction out of eating 1/2 oz of it than I do an entire Hershey bar.

Same reason I watch American news. Makes me feel better about what we produce over here.
Hershey's is square in the middle of chocolate quality. It's not as good as something that Cadbury produces but it's leagues ahead of anything you'll get from Palmer's, which tastes like if you described what chocolate tastes like to a martian and asked them to replicate it.
Every chocolate has its place for me. Sometimes I feel like something more deluxe, and sometimes I crave that horrible, cheap bulk chocolate shaped like Santa Clause. No judgment here!
Me too
I also like Crunch, Twix and snickers almonds as far as chocolate goes (I know those are from other companies)
According to this article: https://www.candycentral.com/blog/popular-chocolate-bars-world/ Hershey's became popular because other chocolate at the time was lumpy and less appealing. So you can imagine.
Cadbury chocolate in America is made under licence by Hershey, who hold the rights. I've no idea whether it's similar to the British version or is made using the Hershey process leaving the buttery taste American consumers like and the foul aftertaste non-Americans detect on first tasting.
Edit: not that British Cadbury chocolate is good. It's not even very chocolaty, although it's okay if all you want is a quick sugar fix. The Wholenut variety is actually quite fun to eat, although I shudder to contemplate the damage it does to the teeth and gums.

Hmmm what game is this, looks so familiar. Someone jog my memory
Sucks they sold to Kraft but I never noticed a massive change in taste tbh, I still love a nice big bar of Dairy Milk, Dairy Milk Caramel or a big bag of Giant Buttons. I have a sweet tooth though and love most chocolate lol
Yeah it's weird and grainy, and tastes like cheap Easter eggs.
It's fine for s'mores but on it's own it tastes overly sweet yet bland and is way way too melty.
I only like them frozen. Not really into eating them lukewarm or whatever temperature it is when you grab them off the shelf.
Not really a big chocolate person anyways.

It is, eat the Hershey's bar and then quality milk chocolate right after. Big difference.
Just one of those products fueled by childhood nostalgia at this point.
Hershey's singlehandedly destroyed KitKat in America.
Americans, come to Canada or Europe and try some actual KitKat.

Yeah the butyric acid is designed to make it easier to keep and ship and whatnot (at least the milk involved). Hershey's chocolate isn't great but it's cheap and won't go bad worse. I'm not much of a fan, but, yes, it means that Hershey's is, like, crazy cheap chocolate.
Hershey's is fine. Yeah, it's not high quality chocolate but it still tastes good to me. It's at its best when slightly melted and paired with other ingredients, like in s'mores or these delicious cookies...
it's fine. i'm more concerned about the hate boners for it to be honest.
i like hershey's, i like german chocolate, i like english chocolate (both the americanized ones and the stuff brought back to me from the UK when my friends go), i like all kinds of chocolate. it's got it's place in the spectrum, and it's by no means at the very end of that spectrum. wait until easter, go the walgreens or something, and buy up all the non-hersheys/mars/nestle brand chocolate you can find, and then try to tell me hershey's is the worst with a straight face.

Again. The Hershey process literally creates that "distinct" flavour/smell. Seriously. It's a garbage food.
