This is so funny to me. I am shocked that Europeans don't like Hershey's Chocolate. I think it has the best chocolate flavor. I like the bars better than the Kisses. I think it has a salty sweet bitter flavor. It melts the best and makes great S'mores.

I'm from New Zealand so see myself as neutral in the US vs. UK debate. I just tried hersheys and was really surprised by the aftertaste... there is definitely a hint of vomit there... but it is the same hint of vomit that you get in strong cheese. So if you like strong cheese you might like hersheys... though I can't say I recommend them.

Baby vomit
I have 4 children, and I know the smell of vomit. I still tried some Hershey's Kisses and I have to say it's the worst food I've ever tasted.

I'm American. I'll never forget the first time I took a Hershey Bar over to Wales for my boyfriend to try... it was HILARIOUS!~~ He put it in his mouth and then ran over to spit it out in the trash and told me it tasted like dog's vomit! I cracked up! I thought he was joking! Then I researched how they make the chocolate and how they use butyric acid to make it. Well, Butyric acid is one of the ingredients in Vomit, Sour Milk, etc.... so of course it's similar in scent/taste. However, to us American's we never associated the Butyric acid in the chocolate bar with the butyric acid in vomit, but I guess to someone who's never had a candy bar with butyric acid in it would! Butyric acid is used (I believe) as a preservative. Too bad it's distinct scent and flavor repulses those of you who are not used to it being in chocolates! Hershey isn't the only company by the way that uses it, just the first and I believe they create it in a very natural way (letting the milk go funky) but in a sterile process. Anyhow, this is hilarious to me. My favorite Chocolate however is still the American version of Cadbury. The UK version tastes different to me.

I'm English but now live in America, the first thing I did at the airport was buy a Hershey bar...Not quite what I thought it would be! I proceeded to bring Cadbury's Milk Chocolate back from England and all my American friends loved it! Even those that loved Hershey's had to admit that Cadbury is better. I don't absolutely hate Hersheys, if the kisses are on the table...I'm gonna eat some :D
I think it's defiantly not 'vomit' or anything but I will never spend money on it!

I like a high cocoa content in chocolate but I find Hersheys repulsive in exactly the same way I'm sure I'd find drinking spoiled milk repulsive. It's definitely the sour milk that's used in the recipe that makes this chocolate unpalatable for many Europeans. I'll be sticking to Belgian.

I absolutely love chocolate, any sort will do i'm not fussy or snobby. However, on the few occasions people have brought Hershey's into work I have been convinced that the chocolate had gone off or past its sell by date, why does it have that oh so pungent cheese taste. aarrrgh. It's only the milk chocolate, the dark chocolate is very nice. I'm glad I found these reviews as i'm the only one in work that seems to be able to detect the vomit taste. Maybe people with super senses can tase it! LOL

Some of us like the taste of home, despite the snobby European views of inferiority. I am a Canadian currently working in South Korea, and I have always liked Hershey's Chocolate. I find European chocolates too sweet, and with the stuff here they are so obsessed with the amount of cocoa that the stuff is too bitter. Hershey's is sold all over Korea, and I like going to Costco to get a big bag of the kisses. Typical European attitudes, everything is sooooo better in Europe. Well its not. If it was, wouldn't we all want to live there??? Well stick to your stuff, and stop complaining about ours. You guys make a lot garbage that shouldn't be sold, but somehow finds its way around the world to some people that like it.

I have traveled over the world, and tasted about every major brand of chocolate in the world. There are a lot of great chocolates out there, but to me the humble, inexpensive Hershey kiss and bar is still my fav.
PS, I've introduced Hershey chocolate to Germans, English, Swiss, French, Canadians, Mexicans , Japanese et al and they've all thought it was excellent chocolate even if they preferred other brands.

Wow! It's so comforting to read that all these people feel the same way I do about Hershey's! I've even been accused of being un-American because I think Hershey's smells like vomit and has a foul taste! I think they use rotten fat and fake ingredients. There are good American chocolates, like See's, Ghirardelli, Godiva, Paul Newman's, etc. I think a lot of people just don't know what good chocolate is... Hershey's is all they ever had.

i had a few miniatures and did a few tests as i couldnt believe the sweaty cheesy sock taste (i used to have hersheys years ago and it never tasted like that! maybe they now use sour milk?) anyway i found that if i put the miniature in my mouth and kept my mouth closed for the entire duration of the eating it tasted great but if i did the same and opened my mouth or let any air in the foulness began! strange that it doesnt happen with the miniature kracknell or goodbars!

Saying Hershey's tastes of sick isn't even a comparison, it does literally taste of vomit, with a flavor that burns your tongue and throat so much that you feel like you've just upchucked. I'm not even joking or exaggerating, I'm deadly serious. There couldn't be a worse chocolate even if i put actual vomit in the recipe.

I find all of these review very interesting. I never noticed anytype of vomit smell. I grew up on Hershey being American. And it is interesting how those from a different culture can see things because of the way people are brought up to experience food. I guess next time that I eat a hershey bar I will check that smell out.
I love Hershey bars! I get them shipped to me here in Brazil from my sister sometimes. They have them here in Brazil but they taste like crap! They change the formula here to suit to the taste of the Brazilian. So I hate Brazilian Hershey chocolate. Stupid marketing! I want to write Hershey to complain for not sticking to principle.
I love the original though. I will eat them forever

There is absolutely nothing in the world that tastes worse than Hersheys. I couldn't believe how foul it was, so when I went to America I bought a bar and gave it to my friend to eat, pretending it was the best thing ever. She nibbled a tiny bit off one corner, tasted it for about ten seconds, and then went and threw up. I felt sick just with the smell of it.
I took a whole load of miniatures back to test on my colleagues, and two weeks later only a few are gone... nobody will eat them. These people eat anything! Do not go near this chocolate. You will regret it.

Having spent the past 36 years in England eating Cadbury's, it came as a real shock to eat Hershey's milk chocolate and find out it tasted of sick!(Theres even a reference to this in one of the Shrek movies..the gingerbraed man vomits and out comes a Hershey's Kiss!!) It's the marmite of chocolate..you love it or hate it. Needless to say, I hate it.
