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".

Read the comments after this article. The posters are probably mostly Americans.

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

MMmmmmm - Deep Fry Cooking with Hershey's

... and just in time for Thanksgiving too!

So you're not a turkey man then?

I can't believe that my kids eat that stuff...it truly is solidified vomit Give me tainted Cadbury's chocolate any day

how many t-g fires will there be this year due to the Hershey bars being too hot?

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

Has everyone seen this article about the Cadbury recall?

Edited to add - affected products went to Australia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Another article here.

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

american chocolate is foul no matter how it's dressed up. But then so are a whole list of other things, butter, bread, tea, I could go on

I bought some of Tesco's own brand milk chocolate bar, and I think it was like 28p, anyway it was devine next to Hersheys, damn good chocolate even sainsburys own was better.

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.

No I know sorry I am rude I always assume we all know where each other lives lol, I have just been back from the UK, I live in California.

And actually Tesco's is here on the west coast http://www.freshandeasy.com/ just trading under a different name but some of the goods have the Tesco label on
