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.

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.

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.
