Why Hershey bars taste like vomit (and I love them)

He also treats people like they're individuals, with tastes unique to themselves. So when people try to play the old game of "This good, that bad," he says, "depends on individual tastes." We could use more people thinking about others as individuals.

[@MystiaBird]

I remember bringing back a bag of Hershey's Kisses from the states, after everyone telling me how amazing they are. They didn't taste like vomit to me, but more like really cheap chocolate that's been left out in the sun for too long. Dull, no lasting flavor, no creaminess. I don't think Cadbury is a gold standard here in the EU (at least outside the UK), but I would never ever choose Hershey's over Lindt or Guylian, which you can acquire for very reasonably cheap prices in any supermarket.

[@ash2257]

Cadbury used to be the best of the best in the UK, but unfortunately it's in US hands now and most of it tastes like wax and dissapointment with about 400 bars with various shit shoved in. I'd kill for a bar of the old Cadbury stuff but Lindt and even Milka fill the gap when the cravings hit.

[@aldousfoxly]

It might've melted and re-hardened in transit then, although I don't personally recall how it effects the flavor and texture.

[@nolana.7987]

Ghirardelli chocolate is pretty good quality chocolate in the US, and I definitely prefer it to Hershey.

[@beyourself1214]

Lindt used to be my absolute favorite, but all lindt products contain barley malt which doesn't play nicely with my Celiac disease. But Ghirardelli is a good substitute

I love how Adam is a defender of the "folksy" or "average" or "common" tastes and approaches to cooking, while at the same time encouraging people to raise their game--in both the culinary and gastronomy aspects of food and culture.

Cooking videos are supposed to inspire us, right? Between Babish and Adam, who's more likely to inspire you to get into the kitchen?

[@OneTrueNobody]

That remark about parmesan containing butyric acid actually solves a childhood mystery for me. See, a babysitter had made pasta for dinner at one point and a very confused younger me thought it smelled like vomit for some reason. It was likely the parmesan cheese causing that, combined with the fact that I had been sick pretty recently at the time. Somehow I smelled it in the food and, possibly because of how recent the memory of that illness was, I couldn't smell much else besides sick in that. It confused the ever-living daylights out of me at the time. Probably confused the babysitter, too.

[@danielfox3003]

I remember feeling that way too, I always dumped tons of that paper canned Parmesan cheese on my sketti. It always smelled like bo-wap.

[@lizh1988]

My little sis got in the pantry and decided to make a snack of some green-can Parm. I guess she managed to spill some. My mom went in the pantry and asked who threw up. That was decades ago, and I think I went in there and it did smell like it. But it never did again. Hershey's always has a taste unlike other chocolate, but never like vomit, for sure.

[@DeceitfulBeing]

Once my dad cooked spaghetti and he added too much Parmesan and it tasted exactly like throw up

[@Furluge]

3:55 - Something he doesn't tell you about Hershey which is very cool and crazy is that when Hershey started making chocolate he no longer had the caramel business. Hershey went to the worlds fair, saw one of the first industrial chocolate making machines on demo there. He then sold his caramel business and bought one of the machines. At this point he'd never been in the chocolate business and didn't have a recipe so he retreated to that estate to figure out how the hell to make chocolate before he went bankrupt. And he did.

As a European having tried Hershey's, I can only confirm. However, Cadbury has really fallen in quality in the last 30 years and I agree that it tastes oily and too sweet. You should try Lindt or Fazer or similar high quality, but still mid-prized milk chocolate. Either way, if you enjoy Hershey's - good for you!

As a Greek who tried Hersheys once, i have to agree with the vomit taste. In GR we have ION and Lacta mainly (First one is local brand), they taste 10x times better. Although Cadbury is not really a good example of mass produced quality chocolate. I would choose the Milka brand for this.

[@tinyspongebob]

I've never heard of someone saying that Hershey's tastes like vomit, but I also didn't grew up eating it, and when I tried for the first time, it had a "plastic feel". I usually don't eat chocolate like other foods, chewing to the smallest amounts, what I usually do is just feeling the chocolate in the mouth and letting it melt on his own, and Hershey's don't melt that well, but the taste for me was pretty fine, I've had better, but it definitely wasn't the worst

[@Saroku1000]

We are also acclimated to it in different foods. Cheese for example also has Butyric acid in it, the thing that makes hersheys taste like vomit. We are used to Butyric acid being in salty food like cheese. The combination of Butyric acid in sweet things does probably make the taste stand out more because we are not used to that.

[@imuien420]

Hollandaise sauce has that vomit taste too. Like it's not the first taste you get from vomit, it is the after taste, when you already done vomiting, there's a stinky taste that stays for a while.

I am a very unique case in this conversation because I grew up in America with Hershey’s chocolate but I was born with a severe anxiety disorder that makes it so that whenever I panic I vomit, on top of that I panic very easily so the statement “I haven’t thrown up more than I’ve eaten chocolate” is actually the opposite for me.

I like to think of Little Caesars "the grilled cheese of pizza". But a question: Have you ever re-baked a Little Caesars pepperoni pizza? Get an extra, refrigerate it overnight, then throw it onto a perforated pizza pan and toss into a 350°F oven until the cheese starts browning and bubbling.

[@peterdunlop7691]

It’s not the British Hershey bar that tastes like baby sick, it’s the American one. For my 21st (19 years ago) I went to Las Vegas, San Francisco and LA and tried Hershey kisses and had to spit it out because I found the sour milky, baby vomit taste disgusting. I thought I had just bought a bad bag and tried another bag in SF which again I had to spit out. Ghiradelli’s in SF was lovely chocolate though, so I only have the baby sick impression of Hershey’s. I was last in the US a few years ago and tried a Hershey bar but I think it had Oreos in it and I didn’t get the sick off flavours. I’m not sure if that was because it was a different recipe to the kisses I’d tried years ago, if the recipe had been reformulated or whether the Oreos had overwhelmed the acid.

It's even better if you save a little piece of chocolate to eat while you wait for the rest of it to melt in the milk. The flavor is, of course, kinda bitter but people love it, mostly in cold regions where having that helps you boost up your temperature. So having that made me dislike the flavor of both Hershey and Cadbury when I finally had the chance to eat them.

Nowadays, very occasionally, I can go for some salty liquorice though, which I imagine would be the worst kind of liquorice to people trying it for the first time. Funny how that works.

That bit near the end about food being mentally associated with certain happy memories... for me that's just some good ol' McDonald's Big Mac, which I used to cherish as a kid growing up in England. After hitting age 10, I returned with my family back to Iran, where there are no McDonald's, and even though I've really gone big on healthy eating, every couple of years when I get the chance to go on a foreign trip, I make sure to go to a McDonald's and have a Big Mac if for no other reason than to relive those childhood memories.

I used to live in Belgium for a while and was very accustomed to the chocolate there. Unbeknownst to me, the place that I used to get my chocolate from is literally the chocolate capital of the world. So when I eat Hershey's for the first time, I have to spit it out immediately and drink a cup of water, it tasted like digested chocolate to me.

[@musiccer7446]

I would see Austria, Germany and Switzerland as chocolate capitals too

[@tube.brasil]

@Forging Strength are you kidding.

[@caracaes]

This is like me but for actual drinking water. Water here were I live tastes amazingly good, there are many water bottling industries and we export bottled water everywhere. For me this good tasting water is just tap water. So when I travel, I feel all kinds of weird tastes in the water, even bottled water.

Switzerland yes, the other two have decidedly less of a chocolate culture than Belgium. If Germany and Austria count, the Netherlands and Italy should count as well and then you have half of Europe.

To round up the chocolate discussion: I’ve had Hershey’s and thought it tasted decent. Had British chocolate and didn’t like it too sweet and fatty.

This is the first time I hear someone say Hershey's taste like vomit , From where I come (which is Lithuania) . We Lithuanians while growing up consume Fermented mik regulary , Things like Kefir , Curd (varškė) and so on . This would explain why no one taste the Vomit while eating Hershey's.

[@kaitlyn__L]

kefir is fuckin delicious. if you're used to tangy yogurts already. a friend didn't think it tasted like vomit or anything but kept worrying in case it was sour because of going bad instead of from being fermented... so they didn't like it for that reason. but i love it. the subtle sweetness, the thickness. I especially like one particular one (which I've not been able to buy since COVID came to Europe) with small bits of cherry mixed in

Here in Ireland, most of my friends seem to really hate hersheys and think they taste gross and bitter. Personally, I find the the plain milk chocolate hersheys bars just ok, but I really enjoy the cookies and cream ones. Not quite as much as a Cadbury or milke bar, but still pretty good. I was kinda surprised by the idea that some Americans find European chocolate bland though. I'd imagine if anything, most Americans aren't so keen on our chocolate cause its too fatty or has kind of a grainy, floury texture sometimes

[@marcd2743]

It's just what Americans grew up on, less so now. I remember my first trip to the UK in my 20s and I pulled over to a gas station and grabbed a Cadbury bar. Was blown away by how good it tasted. The Cadbury in the US is owned by Hersheys so they make sure to muck up the quality here.
