    Who the fuck is buying Hersheys outside of the States anyway? Some sick fucks who enjoy the taste you get when you burp and throw up a little?

    Nah, anyone in Europe who’s eaten chocolate that’s made from actual milk would automatically reject that shit out of hand. In fact, I’d sooner eat the abomination that Cadburys has become since they got bought out by the Yanks.

      Butyric acid in case anyone is wondering. Literally a product of digestion, so you taste it when you throw up:

      Highly-fermentable fiber residues, such as those from resistant starch, oat bran, pectin, and guar are transformed by colonic bacteria into short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) including butyrate, producing more SCFA than less fermentable fibers such as celluloses.[13][21] One study found that resistant starch consistently produces more butyrate than other types of dietary fiber.[22] The production of SCFA from fibers in ruminant animals such as cattle is responsible for the butyrate content of milk and butter.[23]

      They literally put vomit flavor in their chocolate!!!
