Hershey's - bleeeech
« on: May 24, 2007, 01:06:24 PM »
Don't be fooled, like I was, by the appearance of Hershey's bars at your local shop. You will buy 4 bars of Hershey's, thinking, well, maybe it says 'creamy milk chocolate' because you know, it's a marketing thing. And you will look forward to opening up your bar of Hershey's and you will think how cool it is you can finally get some American chocolate and you are glad you got more than one bar. And then you will get home and you will sit down and you will open your bar of chocolate while you are sitting at the computer and you will take a bite of this bar of chocolate and you will think, I will say, you will think, "What. The. Hell." Because this bar of chocolate does not taste like a bar of Hersheys, no, it does not. It does not taste like a bar of Hersheys, it does not even taste like a bar of creamy milk chocolate Hersheys, it tastes like a horrible idea gone terribly wrong, a pandering to the British palate of Cadbury type chocolates but trying to keep the spirit of Hershey's alive which is impossible if you are taking away the very essence of what makes Hershey's taste like Hershey's which this new bar has done.

That is all.

lol sorry got a bit carried away there. Suffice to say, the Hershey's they are starting to sell over here does not taste like Hersheys as we would know it. They have tweaked the formula, presumably to make it more palatable to the British market. It does not taste that great, if you are expecting it to taste like Hersheys back home.

Thanks for the heads up Stella.  My neighbor told me she saw Hershey's in one of the wee shops today and I was going to go buy a few bars.  That said, she also saw Mike and Ikes in the same shop, so I may have to go get a box, just for the hell of it!

I've gotten the Mikes and Ikes, they are good. The Hershey's, not so much. Maybe the Cookies and Cream ones are better, but if you are wanting a plain Hersheys, stay away from the creamy Milk chocolate ones if you want the American Hershey taste.

It's like, cheap Easter chocolate, if that makes sense. Not good.

Got it...steer clear of the Hershey's in the UK! But, Mike and Ikes...that's another story! Woot!!! I'll have to keep my eye out for those.

But what if you're the sort of person who loves Cadbury and cannot stand Hershey's? I mean American Hershey's. Would the UK version be more to my taste?

Stella, I have tried the Cookies and Cream one over here and did not think it was very good.

I agree!  I've been saddened by my Hersey's experiences here.

No, your job is to stick with Cadburys and not encourage the wily plans of misguided Hershey executives.

Woolworths near me sells the Mike and Ike candies.. Yummm nice for a wee fix when i want something familiar..
So check your nearest Woolies.. in the candy aisles. They have the bags of them. :) Just don't go to the Kirkcaldy Woolies or there might not be any left for me lolol..
