    if real chocolate were to be introduced into the US, Hersheys would go out of business- and that tells you why it hasnt, they bribed and sued as much as they could

      Yeah Hersey’s blocked Cadbury’s from selling their products in the US. Instead Hersey’s paid for a license to make and sell Cadbury products but with the Hersey chocolate recipe.
      I recently saw an American whose favourite chocolate was the American Cadbury’s Dairy Milk bar. Try the UK version.
      They said it was really good. Then for comparison tried her usual American version.
      She stopped and said “Huh…….thats weird”. Basically acknowledging there was a slightly unpleasant aftertaste. They were also aware that American chocolate contains a chemical found in vomit. That gives American chocolate a slightly acid vomit flavour.
      As well as American chocolate containing half the amount of cocoa, so they try to add artificial flavour and more sugar to make up for it.

      @andyf4292 Hersheys isn’t the only chocolate company in America. Remember Mars? Its staples Snickers, Milky Way, M&Ms and, of course, Mars bars which is mentioned in this video, have been selling around the world for ages. And then there’s Swiss giant Nestle.
      And just like Britain there are smaller higher brow companies like Thorntons. America has Whitmans, they also have Ghiradelli, and let’s see🤔 oh yes Sees, another popular Californian (and therefore American) chocolatier that has had British work colleagues of mine polishing off boxes of the stuff double speed. That should put to rest any theories about other foreign countries’ chocolates being kept out to rescue Hershey’s. Apparently no need, I guess it just means some people like it’s bittersweet flavour.

    American Cadbury products are made by Hershey! Hershey instigated a lawsuit (otherwise known as protectionism) to prevent an American company importing Cadbury products into the US as they knew it was a much better product and would hit their sales. They gained the right to manufacture Cadbury in the US, but also altered the recipe for the chocolate (something to do with the way they incorporate milk into the product) so it is no longer a true Cadbury product.
    From an item reported in the UK Daily Express today 12th December, a national newspaper: "Thousands of pounds worth of sweets from the US allegedly containing illegal ingredients have been seized from UK shops. Mountain Dew drinks, Jolly Ranchers, Swedish Fish and Lemon Heads are being advertised on TikTok and Instagram. But they are reported to contain carcinogenic and genotoxic ingredients banned here"

    I always find it interesting that Americans find the idea of mixing chocolate with Orange flavouring unusual. In the UK it's a very common type of chocolate - both in terms of chocolate bars, but also sauces for desserts etc.
    Wine gums do not have any alcohol or alcoholic flavouring - no idea where the name came from.

    Hi Tyler, The Hershey chocolate taste is caused by the addition of Butyric Acid which was added to both extend the shelf life of the chocolate and to stop milk from going sour. In World War 2 Hershey sold its chocolate to the American armed services and was added to ration packs of soldiers because of the long shelf life. The soldiers got used to the acrid flavour and after the war these veterans wanted the same taste in their chocolate therefore Hershey kept to the same recipe rather than modernise the manufacturing process. European chocolate, however, still has superior ingredients in comparison with chocolate in the US . I remember, when I was a child, my grandfather always bought my brother and me a bag of Jelly Babies (in those days they were sold by weight into a paper bag). He told us to always go for the boy Jelly Babies as they had a little bit extra! We never did find a boy Jelly Baby.

    Jelly Babies are also the best sweet to carry around if you are diabetic and your blood sugar level plummets and you need a quick hit of sugar. As such they are also a great sweet to carry if you are hiking and feel your energy flagging. Many hikers know to carry "Emergency Jelly Babies". The idea is not to use them when hiking, but they are there if you need a quick kick of energy to keep you going. The best part though, is if you don't use them up in the hills, you have a full packet to eat when you get home 😁.

    So the only ways you can get genuine Cadbury in the US is to either have a friend in the UK who will send you some or for you to go shopping at a foreign food store. The taste of US Cadbury compared the UK Cadbury is very very different with the UK's being smoother and creamier than that in the US.

    You don't have chocolate flavoured orange at all?! 😮 Almost every popular chocolate here has an orange variant. The orange flavour is always the best chocolate there is! Even the orange Smarties are so much better than every other Smartie, so they even sell orange ones separately sometimes, and I will always buy them when I see them!

      I have one crunchie a day. and I only have it because the medication I'm on makes me crave chocolate. however, some brands of chocolate I can't tolerate (palm oil) and a crunchie has just enough of the right kind of chocolate on it to satisfy that once-a-day craving. it's a perfect serving of chocolate. and I bloody love cinder toffee too!!! (and its chocolate coated counterpart when crunchies aren't available).

    There really is no comparison between British chocolate and North American chocolate. British chocolate is much creamier without the grease. I hadn’t realized that North American chocolate had a ‘greasy’ look until opening a bar of British chocolate. Same brand, same name
    Smarties are similar to M&M’s, except M&M’s are made with dark chocolate. Smarties are made with milk chocolate

    Hershey is the name of American chocolate/sweets. But when you use it as an adjective, it takes a possessive "' 's " e.g. "Hershey's chocolate". The same applies to Cadbury, Nestle, Rowntree'. etc. It sounds so jarring to hear "I like Cadbury." Because (like the word 'maths') we say "Cadbury's" e.g. "I like Cadbury's [chocolate]." No-one's going to reel over in shock & horror when they hear 'Cadbury' 'Nestle' without the 's. It just sounds kinda 'foreign' - exactly like "math".😆😆

    Orange and chocolate are a classic combination and very popular. It's probably the most common flavour combination with chocolate after mint. Jaffa cakes and Cointreau liqueur are other examples.
    Black current is always a winner and one of the most popular flavours over here. Eaten raw black currents have quite a sharp flavour so they're sweetened in drinks and other flavourings. We had them in our garden when I was a kid along with red currents, raspberries, strawberries, gooseberries, logan berries, cherries, plums, apples, pears and rhubarb.
    Cadbury Creme eggs the white and yolk are a cream fondant. I used to love them as a kid, but then Kraft bought out Cadbury and changed the recipe using cheaper ingredients so now they're sickly sweet and not nearly as nice.
    Jelly babies - It's a requirement to bite their heads off!😁 They're softer than most gummies and dusted in icing sugar.
