Is it just me? ....
.......but when I see the Christmas Hershey's ads on TV I just think "yuck." The last thing I would want to find in my Christmas Stocking is a Hershey's Kiss (akin to a lump of coal in my book 
)
(sorry to all those who like Hersheys)

It is kind of on par with being given a satsuma isn't it

Hersheys Chocolate is like a synonym for so much else from the USA.
Tasteless and unsophisticated.

Just to balance things out a bit I also can't stand the old British classic .... CUSTARD.
I have very scary memories of my school puddings swimming in the stuff. One time the lunch monitor made me eat my pudding in spite of me telling her I didn't like custard (the dinner ladies just shoved it on top my apple pie) and I preceded to throw up all over her shoes. (That'll teach her
)
(Once again ... apologies to any custard lovers out there)

OH tries hard to counter my anti-Hersheyism with "oh but Cadbury's is just as bad". I don't like Cadbury's either but I'd rather eat a ton of it than an ounce of Hershey's.

Comparing Hershey's to Cadbury's is like comparing liver-sausage to foie-gras. (Except I like liver-sausage, but you get the idea.)
