Vomit flavored food kinda sounds like a 40k joke.

Semi-related, but if you go into the merchandise section of the Warhammer online store you can find scented candles themed after the Chaos Gods. Yes, this means that there are Nurgle scented candles as an officially licensed GW product.

[@LivnzoDriom]

And this also means that there is a slaanesh scented candles

I have never heard anyone ever make a claim about it "tasting like vomit" until Adam Ragusea, a KZbinr who is with a strong ability to make alluring video titles/thumbnails, used it as his explanation as to why Hershey SPECIFICALLY (not all American chocolatiers, you dumbasses) has a slightly more acidic flavor than most other chocolate brands and seemingly why it is more popular in the United States.

[@owenfarmer1588]

butyric acid is also a key component of the smell of parmesan cheese

If I recall, the process of making Hershey's so-called "bittersweet chocolate" _does_ slightly spoil the chocolate to give it its distinct slightly bitter taste, but the milk is no more spoiled than in yoghurt or sour cream (sour cream being literally cream that has soured). It's not actually expired milk like you'd use to make cheese, its just milk that has been allowed to turn slightly. I'll still prefer to have _good_ chocolate, though.

"When we dont use the milk fast enough it will spoil" Hersheys: "Not if i spoil it first!"

Expected WH40k reference, got cursed with forbidden knowledge. Seems accurate

In our defense, we didn't know and it tasted good.

[@lunarlady03]

this is it really doesnt taste like vomit to us, vomit still tastes bad to us

[@augustday9483]

Today I learned what IIRC actually stands for.

[@redeye4516]

I literally cannot tell the difference between Hershey's and any other kind of chocolate, and never have.

[@Zetact_]

It's largely just a result of a bunch of Europeans finding a title from KZbinr Adam Ragusea (ironically an American talking about how he likes the taste of Hershey's) and turning it into a talking point. If you look at Google search trends and search for "American chocolate vomit" you see that nobody was talking about it but since August 2020 it spikes up as a consistent search trend. Ragusea made his video titled "Why Hershey bars taste like vomit (and I love them)" in August 2020. Literally the exact moment the search trends for the concept spiked up and became spread by online Europeans. His video claims it's a common thing that people talk about but it really wasn't. Plus it isn't even American chocolate in general with the butyric acid claim, it ONLY was talking about Hershey bars.

Which country do you get it in?

[@masako8980]

If you're buying "European" chocolates inside of America, there's a significant chance it's also actually produced by Hershey's, which may be why. Emphasis on may. Could also just be a skill issue.

[@redeye4516]

@masako8980 Potentially, but I've been to Europe before too.

[@52flyingbicycles]

Europeans are awfully smug about our vomit chocolate when parmesan cheese literally has the exact same ingredient and smells like vomit

[@mrbones9332]

This explains why I prefer Cadbury jesus

[@chaincat33]

for what it's worth, the vomit taste is more of an after taste than a primary taste.

[@JonnyCrackers]

A regular Hershey bar definitely gives me that aftertaste like I just puked one up rather than ate it. Never really noticed it when I was a kid, but once I got older I did not care for it one bit. I don't really notice it in other Hershey stuff like Reese's and Kit-Kats, though. I guess the other stuff in it masks the taste.

[@gregvanpaassen]

Vanegood delivers the goods once again! The goods in this case being chocolate bars smelling of Parmesan cheese.

[@nekomimicatears]

Who cares? If people like Hersheys, thats fine. Just because some people dont doesn't mean nobody can.

[@daniellap.stewart6839]

Hahaha more of these please

[@tucogd]

I was so expecting someone at the end to comment on it saying "heresy" 😭

[@GastropodGaming2006]

Sour Cream is more spoiled.

[@hkayakh]

That’s why Belgian chocolate is so good

[@JohnPabloEsposito]

I deadass just ate a Herseys bar Honestly who cares

[@errentthought9057]

I guess Americans do have some odd tastes after all. Kind of like that green liqueur from France or that German cheese flavored by mites.

[@grooviehoovie4179]

European chocolate taste like nestle man

[@mysticalKobold]

Yup, it's why I don't like milk chocolate because of Hershey's normalizing the idea of making milk chocolate taste like vomit. lol

[@JimmyHD-gc1cl]

I reckon I'll stick with Cadbury's then mate.

[@WelcomeToDERPLAND]

My mother once got me a 5LB hersheys bar for Christmas while I was a freshmen in high school..... I would continue to eat it over the course of many years, with it being a large chunk of about 25% of it's original size by the time I was a senior, it had become something of a school wide joke that I had brought it to class and given bits of it out and had been eating it for years- at that point it had started to disintegrate on the edges, becoming something of a plastic-y powder that I would scrape off to get to any of the good parts inside... It was disgusting... Ever since then I've never bought or eaten hersheys ever again- it's now like inedible plastic to me, I hate it so much.

[@wisforwinner]

😭😭

[@MegaMicah12]

Food truly brings about fantastic tales.

[@j25-games96]

i have a slight thought that the stuff on the edges could've been chocolate bloom aka just the fats or sugars separating from the chocolate. but it could be from the container it was in. either way hershey is shit

[@petermmm42]

[@kooolainebulger8117]

[@turbo_marc]

Yeah this is why I try to avoid hersheys chocolate

[@father2mother3]

Pacari would never.

[@CosImUpRn]

i knew hershey chocolate wasn't as good as lindor or ghirardelli

[@Zetact_]

Ghirardelli is an American chocolate company.

[@CosImUpRn]

@@Zetact_ it taste better

[@Jarnsmidr]

Eh, it's not the best but you grow up eating it. It becomes nostalgic. I'd choose other chocolates if given the choice but I'll still eat it. We already do all kinds of weird things with milk (yogurt, sour cream, various cheeses) It’s not uniquely strange.

[@velazquezarmouries]

Dont they have white chocolate? That would befit the heresy tag a bit better

[@Phantomsangel]

Eh, Hershey's isn't really my favorite to begin with. I do like the dark chocolate though but it sometimes tickles my nose which I thought was just from the bitterness.

[@ryanwoon3534]

Especially when you read the long list of products that are banned nearly everywhere else in the world but are considered "safe" for US consumption.

[@DefaultFlame]

I've had a Hershey's chocolate bar. I can't say I tasted any vomit flavor, but it did taste slightly worse than the worst bargain bin, store brand chocolate here in Sweden. Since it was an import it was also stupidly expensive. 3/10, there are much cheaper, much better chocolate available, but if no other chocolate existed I suppose I'd eat it.

[@loafiodelic]

This video uses music from a Sour Patch Kids game! I noticed

[@baronvonkaiser9912]

Ive eaten hersheys more than ive puked but i dont really taste the "vomit" aspect in the chocolate. I think brits jus dont know what flavor is.

[@mildlymarvelous]

No wonder I don’t like Hershey’s very much!!!
