      It tastes like vomit because Hershey chocolate contains butyric acid, which is also found in vomit.

      They started using a lot of palm oil and other ingredients to pad out the “chocolate”. Why put chocolate in your chocolate

        But technically I hear the coco plant the thing we make chocolate from is going extinct due to climate change. They know this and are trying to get ahead of it.

        But one day folks there will be no real chocolate.

          You’d think more chocolate lovers would be against this. Holy fuck, that’s bleak.

      They add an ingredient to make it taste like bile because that’s the taste WW2 vets were accustomed to after eating chocolate rations that had gone bad. It’s gross.

      So this will probably still taste like vomit, it’ll just be made with real cocoa again instead of palm oil.
