Default Hershey's chocolate bar... YUCK!!!!

Tried one last night for the first time....... the SO and I both agreed it
would have to be one of the worst chocolate bars we have ever tried.

Now I have to find some poor sucker to give the rest away to.

The flavour was insipd, with overtones of........ God only knows.... anbd I
don't want to open a second one to try it again to try and describe it.

I ended up throwing the last 4 squares of the bar into the trash.

I'll take 'em. I don't buy chocolate bars very often...too fattening.
I see nothing wrong with Hershey bars though...must have been old stock.

Well, I can certainly see why. I gave away almost 3/4 of a box this
afternoon to my troops after they finished a course today, I wonder how
many comments I get back tomorrow :-)

Which variety of Hershey's chocolate? I always liked their Special
Dark. Everything else not so much.

I agree with the Special Dark. Now they have that new Air Delight.
Great, replace chocolate with air bubbles and charge the same price.
And people think it's something special.

"My troops", my ass!

You have no "troops" and you didn't even buy them in the first place.
They were sent to the offices as a thank you, not meant for you to
take home for you and your fat-assed wife to pig out on last night.

I thought that was silly too. I like (love) Krackel, but at least
there's a reason for the air with it. I guess "Air Delight" is their
way of cutting production costs or lessening the carbs.

I like the Krackel too. I always assumed they added Rice Krispies. it kind
of crunches that way.

I get real kicks of the ongoing low-carb fad. When it first started, my
grocery store put signs up in the butter section saying, "LOW CARB BUTTER!"
hahahaha no kidding!

Once people become accustomed to dark chocolate many will no longer
find milk chocolate acceptable regardless of brand... there is nothing
wrong with Hershey's milk chocolate, there is something wrong with the
TIADers that they can't taste the difference between dark and milk
chocolate. The Hershey bar is still internationally synonymous with
the chocolate bar. And don't yoose Euros get too cocky, during WWll
any of yer wimmen would spread her legs for any GI with a Hershey bar.
When I was in Europe any Italian broad would spread her legs for a
pack of Camels... for two packs of Camels she'd sell her 12 year old
daughter.

You're an idiot... those bars are sold by weight... there is no
cheating. If you don't like airy chocolate don't buy it. But many
confections incorporate air and many people like it that way or it
would not be made that way... lots of folks prefer a chocolate shake
to plain chocolate milk. The shake is the same amount of product in a
larger cup to accomodate the air. Hershey's airy chocolate is a
larger bar.

Quite right you are, Shelley. That's exactly what happened in
Switzerland, France, England, Germany, Canada, and Russia. Not in
China, though, because as everybody knows, China has the highest
per-capita dairy consumption in the world.

I took a bite of a Violet Crumble ("Vile Crumbled?") once, with the
same results. I suppose you have to have grown up with them to find
them tasty. Hershey's definitely has had a distinct taste; I always
preferred the local Nestle products.

Yep....... we've had what used to be called "Aero" bars for quite some
time, but I think they decided to change the name to "Bubbles" to fool
people into thinking they weren't just paying for air in their chocolate!!

Whatever the reasoning...... it's the same size bar, same price as the
rest, but 1/2 the weight.

Milk chocolate is kinda vile anyway. Some more than others, of course.

It's not a fad, it just had a bump up in popularity for several years,
but there are still millions of us who limit carbs.

Cadbury's (Aust/NZ) tried to change their Milk Chocolate recipe a few years
back.

Well....... the hue and cry that was made (as the new version tasted like
crap) was *huge*. Public opinion won over, after sales plummeted, and they
changed back to the original recipe.

And Cadbury's Milk Chocolate is not too bad........ not as good as Lindt,
but pretty good for a standby.

If they are as ignorant about how to graciously receive gifts as you
are, I'm sure they will have lots of commentary which you will happily
egg on and play right into. Of course, they wont have any idea at that
point that you knew how awful the chocolate was before you gave it to
them, but that makes the joke all the more meaningful for you, doesn't it?

And you base this rather flippant and worthless opinion on what?

Did you send me a gift that I haven't acknowledged?

Or are you *ass*uming that I got the chocolates as a gift?

As usual, you let your innate prejudice blind you to anything but the
completely blinkered view that your obsessive hatred of me allows you to
maintain.




> I'm sure they will have lots of commentary which you will happily
> egg on and play right into.




"I'm sure"?? The only thing that you can be sure of, is that you are a
complete ******.



> Of course, they wont have any idea at that
> point that you knew how awful the chocolate was




So you agree then....... Hershey's is a shit chocolate. Thank you for
agreeing with me. At least you've got one thing right today, now you'll be
able to sleep happy and contented tonight.



> before you gave it to
> them, but that makes the joke all the more meaningful for you, doesn't
> it?



Actually, it was a bit of an experiment. I know some of them will eat it
just because it was given to them (free).... I'm more interested in the
people who will come back and tell me they didn't like it. Then I know that
*they* also have 'taste' and are discerning eaters.


Now........ why don't you be a good little boy and actually contribute
something worthwhile to the thread..... or will you be like the rest of the
******s, and just run off at the mouth, looking like a complete fool, when
you reply to my every post with your inane drivel?

Brokelyn thinks Hershey's has international significance because his
dad used to exchange his field ration Hershey bars for sex during WW
II.

But Hershey's has had some impact on world cultu:

The alu foil wrapped "Kiss"
The cautionary tale book and movie, Looking for Mr. Goodbar (a singles
bar named after the peanut and chocolate confection)
"Reese's Pieces" in ET Phone Home.

Paraffin can only be made to taste so much like chocolate before the
paraffin comes through. It is crap. Worst chocolate made.

LOL!! No answer, I see.

BTW.... I *really* don't have to make you look bad....... you do such a
good job all by yourself.

No answer, yet again. Why am I not suprised by this from one of my
psychologically obsessed 'fans'??


You, in your deluded state, made the rather ridiculous statement that you
presume to know how I "receive gifts". One can only take that to mean that
you are;
1) "God", who according to the fiction novel called "The Bible" can see all
and know all, or
2) You're full of shit.

As I don't believe in "God", methinks answer #2 is right, and it's the
right number for you, too :-)

Added to some compound coatings as a cheap and easy way to insure the
compound coating sets up solidly. Found in many older candy making
cookbooks.

I doubt there's any parrafin in Hershey's Milk Chocolate. Let's see:

Nope! No parrafin!

Well...... you've certainly shown everyone that you are a pathetic
asshole with your snide little comments.... and especially when you go
out of your way to ignore the facts when they are thrown back in your
face.

Ergo, you are full of shit and just a bitter and twisted little excuse
for a human being.


Have a nice day.

Did Petey really call the Bible a "fiction novel"? It's not a novel by
any stretch. And some small amount of it is probably true. An accurate
way to describe it would be a collection of highly embellished and
mythologized accounts of events long past whose main purpose was to
legitimize laws of human behavior.

A novel? Really, Petey? That's doltish even for you.

Maybe you just got a bad bar. Hershey's is rapacious about their
quality control. And I'm sure if you contacted them with your
complaint they'd send you a coupon for a free new Hershey bar, at
least!

Hershey's chocolate has a distinctive taste that people who grew up
eating the earwax chocolates of the Antipodes do not recognize as
chocolate.
