    I’ll give you this one, most “European” milk chocolate tastes better when there’s no lipolysis involved, which is common in Hershey’s.

    Then again, there’s Chocolonely which blows the competition out of the water.

      Yeah, I got a bag of mixed Hershey’s minibars from the US and that stuff was vile.

        It’s the cheapest commonly available option, of course it’s not good. (We have even worse stuff but it’s pretty much only seen around Easter)

        The US has terrible and incredible options for pretty much everything. Beer, chocolate, beaches, whatever. It’s just never the mass-marketed stuff.

        The mixed bags of candy always taste bad.

        I’m not going to go out on a limb to defend fucking Hershey’s but I can say with confidence that the mixed bags of candy are universally a step down in quality.

        It’s shitty candy meant to be given to children who don’t care. Individual bars will be better. Still fuckin Hershey’s don’t get me wrong but better.

          Also, if you get them around Halloween, or full size near 4th of July, they’ll be fresh and much better. Still not great comparatively, but much better than a random bar in August.
