It's Official- Hershey's Really is Crap!
 
Brits in general already know that Hershey chocolate is awful but even some Americans will be avoiding it now.

Due to higher cost of ingredients, Hershey's is removing Cocoa Butter from many of it's popular chocolate candies, and replacing it with cheaper Vegetable Oil.

The package labels are changing too, because the FDA says anything containing vegetable oils cannot be called "Milk Chocolate".

Hershey's tastes like vomit anyway. Maybe this will make it taste better.

Chocolate covered turkeys? Er, it might catch on. Reminds me of chocolate covered bacon.

That is what I was thinking, after all could it really taste any worse?

I don't understand how anyone can eat any american chocolate, when I get given some I don't know whether to put it in my mouth or stick a wick in it.

It isn't just the chocolate, there is a whole list of things that either have no taste or taste horrid e.g. Butter, tea, bacon, bread, veggies ....I could go on for ever

Tesco hasn't ventured this far east yet. You can buy Cadbury at 'finer' groceries in this area but it is still made by Hershey and tastes like wax.
