The distinct flavour of vomit comes from butyric acid, an ingredient also found in Hershey's not typically used in non-American chocolates. People who grow up eating Hershey's usually don't notice it, but it can be obvious to people from elsewhere.
The process is a company and trade secret, but experts speculate that the milk is partially lipolyzed, producing butyric acid, which stabilizes the milk from further fermentation. This flavor gives the product a particular sour, "tangy" taste that the US public has come to associate with the taste of chocolate, to the point that other manufacturers often add butyric acid to their milk chocolates.
That's an interesting piece of information I wasn't aware of. Still curious though, if someone becomes so attuned to that 'flavor' by growing up eating Hershey's, then the flavor of vomit becomes, what, unnoticeable? Vomit still tastes repulsive any time I've ever had the unfortunate reason to throw up.The distinct flavour of vomit comes from butyric acid, an ingredient also found in Hershey's not typically used in non-American chocolates.

Every British person I've met who's tried a Hershey's chocolate bar has independently used the word "vomit" to describe it's flavour.

I would speculate it's present in a much higher concentration in vomit. Even if someone doesn't notice it in chocolate, they certainly will in vomit.That's an interesting piece of information I wasn't aware of.

Thoughts and prayers to my American friends.It's terrible. They ship it to our homes and force us to eat it. My neighbor got caught with a Toblerone last week, and I haven't heard from him since. I try to tell mama that the Hershey's with almonds isn't that bad, but all she does is cry.
Don't u hate when u try something and it's just ok then your brain starts bashing on the inside of your skull and commands u that you're better than this and not only is this unacceptable but u must declare it to the world
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.
It's okay. I have no idea why some of you are acting like it's the fucking plague.
Because it's not. Hershey's kisses smell greatYeah man, why would anyone be put off by the smell and taste of vomit? Bunch of stupid euro babies.
It's not good or even average chocolate, but the people who find it totally disgusting are usually the ones who didn't grow up eating it. People who ate it as kids aren't going to be grossed out by the "vomit" taste that Europeans notice when first trying it. Americans, like myself, who graduated to better chocolate just think of Hershey's as cheap crap rather than totally inedible.
Please, for the non-Americans in this thread, explain what a S'more is.
More wax than chalk, but yeah. American chocolate is full of filler.
Basically two graham crackers sandwiching marshmallow and chocolate in between. It's pretty much a camping trip tradition.
I just realised that when I hear Americans talk about gram crackers in films and tv shows, they're actually saying graham crackers. Mind Blown.
