American Reacts to Popular British Candy

[@andyf4292]

if real chocolate were to be introduced into the US, Hersheys would go out of business- and that tells you why it hasnt, they bribed and sued as much as they could

[@JarlGrimmToys]

Yeah Hersey’s blocked Cadbury’s from selling their products in the US. Instead Hersey’s paid for a license to make and sell Cadbury products but with the Hersey chocolate recipe. I recently saw an American whose favourite chocolate was the American Cadbury’s Dairy Milk bar. Try the UK version. They said it was really good. Then for comparison tried her usual American version. She stopped and said “Huh…….thats weird”. Basically acknowledging there was a slightly unpleasant aftertaste. They were also aware that American chocolate contains a chemical found in vomit. That gives American chocolate a slightly acid vomit flavour. As well as American chocolate containing half the amount of cocoa, so they try to add artificial flavour and more sugar to make up for it.

[@alexrafe2590]

@andyf4292 Hersheys isn’t the only chocolate company in America. Remember Mars? Its staples Snickers, Milky Way, M&Ms and, of course, Mars bars which is mentioned in this video, have been selling around the world for ages. And then there’s Swiss giant Nestle. And just like Britain there are smaller higher brow companies like Thorntons. America has Whitmans, they also have Ghiradelli, and let’s see🤔 oh yes Sees, another popular Californian (and therefore American) chocolatier that has had British work colleagues of mine polishing off boxes of the stuff double speed. That should put to rest any theories about other foreign countries’ chocolates being kept out to rescue Hershey’s. Apparently no need, I guess it just means some people like it’s bittersweet flavour.

@@ianmatthews3041 OK, I don’t know about the origins of all chocolate bars, it may well be, but like Hershey’s the Mars company is an American company that originated in that country and then became global. And their chocolate is eaten by millions in countries around the world, including of course Britain. And it’s chocolate is mellow and sweet. Hershey’s isn’t as good, and Cadbury’s is much better. No argument there.

I’ve noticed that, it’s not just candy vs sweets, it’s like fries and chips. I said a chip butty looked good on insta and asked if you guys put gravy on it and I learned 2 things. 1. If you’re from the north, yes, if you’re from everywhere else, curry sauce, and 2. Chips are thick cut fries over there and fries are McDonald’s. Meanwhile here in America, fries encompass all types of differently cut potatoes. Thick cut, thin cut, doesn’t matter, all the same. Except for potato wedges I suppose.

[@starrius]

@Gymtoshi fries and chips are actually 2 different things. And crisps is what Americans call chips so that's another confusion

I grew up with Crunchie, black current flavour, the lightweight Milky Way bar, chocolate & candy coating Smarties, Terry's Chocolate Orange, Wine Gums, Maynard's, After Eight, Galaxy, literally ALL the Brit candies are ubiquitous in Canada.

[@DaniëllaKL1970]

It really is insane but even the same products by name taste totally different in the USA. I've seen a lot of comparison videos and just the ingredients are so different. They don't have a clue how it's supposed to taste. I've forgotten how many ingredients were on just a macd fries but overhere there are 3 potato,salt and oil in the US there are huge amounts of ingredients. It is even very hard to find candy without artificial flavours and sweeteners. Even quite a choise for Islamic kids.

[@natalielang6209]

It's because Hershey has the license to make and distribute Cadbury branded chocolate and make it using horrible American chocolate. And I think Hershey has taken Cadbury to court over Cadbury supposedly ripping off Hersheys cream egg recipe. Which sounds like bullshit to me. Given that they were making it under license from Cadbury.

[@carolineskipper6976]

I always find it interesting that Americans find the idea of mixing chocolate with Orange flavouring unusual. In the UK it's a very common type of chocolate - both in terms of chocolate bars, but also sauces for desserts etc. Wine gums do not have any alcohol or alcoholic flavouring - no idea where the name came from. After Eights are meant to be eaten at the end of a sophisticated meal, with the coffee.

[@B-A-L]

I think wine gums get their name because they have the names of wines and similar alcoholic beverages imprinted into them.

[@brianbradley6744]

American Cadbury products are made by Hershey! Hershey instigated a lawsuit (otherwise known as protectionism) to prevent an American company importing Cadbury products into the US as they knew it was a much better product and would hit their sales. They gained the right to manufacture Cadbury in the US, but also altered the recipe for the chocolate (something to do with the way they incorporate milk into the product) so it is no longer a true Cadbury product. From an item reported in the UK Daily Express today 12th December, a national newspaper: "Thousands of pounds worth of sweets from the US allegedly containing illegal ingredients have been seized from UK shops. Mountain Dew drinks, Jolly Ranchers, Swedish Fish and Lemon Heads are being advertised on TikTok and Instagram. But they are reported to contain carcinogenic and genotoxic ingredients banned here"

[@FreethoughtsOnline]

Indeed, beware of fake imitations.

Jelly Babies are like a fruit juice Jell-O/jelly thickened with corn starch. "A pastille is a type of sweet or medicinal pill made of a thick liquid that has been solidified and is meant to be consumed by light chewing and allowing it to dissolve in the mouth". There are still many of us in the UK annoyed that our "Marathon Bar", was renamed to the international standard name of "Snickers". "After Eights" were marketed as a "sophisticated" after dinner mint. Eaten after a formal evening dinner. Now a staple part of Christmas confectionary.

[@jamessykes8176]

Hi Tyler, The Hershey chocolate taste is caused by the addition of Butyric Acid which was added to both extend the shelf life of the chocolate and to stop milk from going sour. In World War 2 Hershey sold its chocolate to the American armed services and was added to ration packs of soldiers because of the long shelf life. The soldiers got used to the acrid flavour and after the war these veterans wanted the same taste in their chocolate therefore Hershey kept to the same recipe rather than modernise the manufacturing process. European chocolate, however, still has superior ingredients in comparison with chocolate in the US . I remember, when I was a child, my grandfather always bought my brother and me a bag of Jelly Babies (in those days they were sold by weight into a paper bag). He told us to always go for the boy Jelly Babies as they had a little bit extra! We never did find a boy Jelly Baby.

[@nataliedunn5239]

Jelly Babies are also the best sweet to carry around if you are diabetic and your blood sugar level plummets and you need a quick hit of sugar. As such they are also a great sweet to carry if you are hiking and feel your energy flagging. Many hikers know to carry "Emergency Jelly Babies". The idea is not to use them when hiking, but they are there if you need a quick kick of energy to keep you going. The best part though, is if you don't use them up in the hills, you have a full packet to eat when you get home 😁.

[@krissymarklewis1793]

interesting!

[@bianca24601]

I use them hiking, but more frequently they sit in the door pocket in my car fulfilling the same role as a quick source of energy. They're my preferred option for this as they don't melt in a hot car and don't need unwrapping while driving.

[@XpinkandsparkleyX]

Yep. My type 1 husband always has a small tub of either jelly babies or wine gums in his pocket for low bg levels😊

[@GetSome.RazzleDazzle]

I'm from Ireland and Harsheys is sold here but Cadbury and Nestle dominate. In the US, I read that youse have a chocolate brand called Dove. The packaging looks pretty close. To me, it's the same kind of close that the crisps Walkers and Lay packaging have to each other. Over here, Dove is a brand of personal care products. Like deogrant and bars of soap.

[@cahinton.]

[@TerryD15]

Cadbury is a British Chocolate company founded in Birmingham in 1824. Hershey has a licence to produce Cadbury chocolate in the US. The British product is far superiior as Milk chocolate in the UK and Europe must caontain at least 25% chocolate solids but in the US the minimum is 10% and the flavour is enhanced by adding extra sugar.

[@marchionessamoretto7326]

Hello Tyler. The Terry's Chocolate Orange has a mild orange oil flavour, the milk chocolate is a dominant thing. I recommend it

[@mrrajsingh]

American chocolate uses vomit acid as a preservative that gives it its unique after taste. This became popular after WWII when it was included in G.I. rations.

[@BarbieSL]

Well, wine gums, were not originally intended to taste like wine, but instead made with various fruit flavours, such as blackcurrant, lemon, strawberry, lime and others, which were reminiscent of the notes found in many wines. As they gained popularity in the 19th century, so did the name and here we are today

Orange and chocolate are a classic combination and very popular. It's probably the most common flavour combination with chocolate after mint. Jaffa cakes and Cointreau liqueur are other examples. Black current is always a winner and one of the most popular flavours over here. Eaten raw black currents have quite a sharp flavour so they're sweetened in drinks and other flavourings. We had them in our garden when I was a kid along with red currents, raspberries, strawberries, gooseberries, logan berries, cherries, plums, apples, pears and rhubarb. Cadbury Creme eggs the white and yolk are a cream fondant. I used to love them as a kid, but then Kraft bought out Cadbury and changed the recipe using cheaper ingredients so now they're sickly sweet and not nearly as nice. Jelly babies - It's a requirement to bite their heads off!😁 They're softer than most gummies and dusted in icing sugar.

Please don't confuse the US-made Cadbury with others around the world. Hershey bought the exclusive rights to manufacture this brand in US and uses a different recipe. The original, British Cadbury is sold in over 80 countries and is the second biggest confectionary company in the world, with about 11 percent of all global sales. Only Mars is slightly bigger. Hershey is 6th largest.

Cadbury is British, Cadbury is headquartered in Uxbridge, London, and operates in more than fifty countries worldwide. Its best known products include Dairy Milk chocolate.

Why has there been such fuss about factory closures that were promised never to happen - or the use of palm oil, changing the chocolate taste? How has so much previously UK production been off-shored to Poland?

You really need to taste these. Crunchies, galaxy chocs and wine gums are better than you'd think.

My favourite description of Hershey chocolate is "disappointment and ear wax". True!!! And to top it all off Hershey have the nerve to sell their wax and disappointment as"Cadbury". Ha!

I don't get why Americans take things so literally. I can only assume Thier society is very "hold your hand "frame of mind . Someone else does the thinking for you. Do you honestly think when you bite into a bar of chocolate it explodes, because the advert shows the bar exploding. It's a metaphor for the taste and texture,that releases when eaten. The advert is trying to show the sweet is packed with taste.

[@mskatonic7240]

Cadbury's are a British firm, hence the popularity over here.

[@kathrynhobbs8874]

Well no…..it was taken over by Kraft some years ago, and they changed the recipe making it , imo, disgusting. Sales fell and they say they they reversed the changes. But for me, it still tastes oily.

Beer is made from grains like barley, wheat and sometimes rye. Malt is produced from barley and is used in beer as well as many other products. Think of almonds being ground up to produce marzipan, or peanuts ground up to produce peanut butter. Almond meal is also used in cakes, biscuits and chocolates. Today it’s common to see almond milk. Powdered malt is mixed into hot milk as a relaxing cuppa before bed, or in milkshakes to add the delicious malt flavour, especially to vanilla or chocolate milkshakes. WALMART sells ten different brands of powdered malt and malt drink mixes! You need to get out more, Tyler! 😮

Hershey is the name of American chocolate/sweets. But when you use it as an adjective, it takes a possessive "' 's " e.g. "Hershey's chocolate". The same applies to Cadbury, Nestle, Rowntree'. etc. It sounds so jarring to hear "I like Cadbury." Because (like the word 'maths') we say "Cadbury's" e.g. "I like Cadbury's [chocolate]." No-one's going to reel over in shock & horror when they hear 'Cadbury' 'Nestle' without the 's. It just sounds kinda 'foreign' - exactly like "math".😆😆

[@Jeni10]

In the US, Hershey’s make limited Cadbury items under licence, but Cadbury’s originated in UK. Hershey’s chocolate cannot be called milk chocolate in the UK because it doesn’t come up to the definition of milk chocolate, so it has to be relabelled.
