Twinkies are ok but the first time I tried them I just couldn't believe how artificial and preservative-filled they tasted.

First time I had American chocolate was a grim surprise too. Trying to remember the name of them, 'chocolate' with a honeycomb inside which was also gross. They're a weak copy of the far superior Malteser.

Them's the ones! I bought a bag because wow, we have those in the UK! Nope. Horrible. They tasted like they were stale and covered in the kind of chocolate you give to dogs.

Dude?
In Europe dog chocolate is actually a thing. My ex wife (Swedish) ate a Hershey kiss and said it was exactly like dog chocolate. I didn't follow up by asking why she knew what dog chocolate tasted like.

It's basically chocolate flavored and colored corn syrup.

Only time I have ever encountered carob was trick or trading at the religious house on our block as a kid. loving disgusting.

What you are probably not liking is American "milk" chocolate, which basically means its diluted. Personally, I prefer what we call "dark" chocolate - more or less a more concentrated version. It also tends to be less sweet, which isn't a problem for me. Dark chocolate definitely tastes better.

e: and yeah, carob sucks.

Also Hershey's is objectively garbage. If you want real chocolate, buy from a real chocolatier.

I grew up near Hershey, PA and that place was magic as a kid. Once they made the switch to all terrible palm oil and PGPR or whatever I stopped buying their products. Hopefully it'll taste like actual chocolate again with these changes.

Hershey's also has butyric acid in it (found in vomit), which is a hold-over from the process used to "fix" the questionably-fresh milk originally used for the bars. It's why other countries compare Hersheys to vomit :science:

This must be why it has such a weird taste compared to other milk chocolates. The one thing I miss from living in the UK as a kid was the awesome Cadbury and other chocolate they had. I wish I could afford to go to UK or Europe and just stock up on as much chocolate as possible, then eat it all at once and die of diabetes like a true, proper American. :patriot:

This was taken from "I was driving and had the phone in a mount, and that was the easiest way to take the pic one-handed."
I'm sorry my lovely picture of a lovely truck doesn't live up to your ~PRO~ standards. (I don't like vertical pics either - I didn't have time to gently caress around getting the best shot here.)

On the plus side, china makes tires for them now, so the tires are only $1400 a set.
