They tried to package the American stuff so that it tasted a little better. A double-wrap system called...
Hershey's Adventures of Tintin.
Talking of which:

also, on the book theme - a rare Tintin cover was sold a couple of days ago...for 2.5 million Euros! Now that's a lot of Buttons!

Can you describe Hershey's as 'chocolate'?

A former boss of mine had done a 6 months secondment in America, and had bizarrely acquired a taste in Hershey's "chocolate", commenting "you can't get it over here". He duly brought a couple of kilos back for the troops in the office. Each visitor to our desks tried one and pulled a face or went away to spit it out. After about 6 weeks the 2kg bag had dwindled to maybe 1970 grams. I eventually took an "executive decision" and binned the rest.

First time I went to the States, I bought a Hershey bar, as I'd heard of them 'in the movies', and thought that therefore they must be great. I was underwhelmed, to say the least. I finished it, because basically I will eat anything, but the real test is that I didn't buy any more. So there.

Peanut butter cups...I love peanut butter, but I find these too much. For me, peanut butter needs toast under it.

...and while I'm here, if ever Hershey Bars take off in the UK, I really hope the ad-people decide to adapt this ditty
Hersham Boys...Hershey Bars...you can see where I'm coming from...

With a dollop of brown sauce.

Marmionite, surely. Not bloody sauce!

Hershey's "chocolate" must be really bad if Cadbury's "chocolate"(sweetened chocolate flavoured vegetable oil) is better.
I think it is a trademark thing, Hershey bought the rights to sell Cadbury named "chocolate" products in the USA, from Cadbury's.

Toast + peanut butter = good.
Toast + peanut butter + marmite = good.
Toast + peanut butter + marmite + cheese = a phenomenal snack.

You really need to taste it. Trust me... it's horrid.

Peanut butter (can't abide the stuff)
Hersheys chocolate

But together, truly a case of two wrongs making a right

Hershey bars taste of sour milk because they were first made by immigrant Quakers from York and Birmingham before refrigeration was invented. The milk had to travel for a couple of days from farm to factory so was usually turning rancid, which is why the American Hershey has to taste of rancid milk.

I don't think they contain anything as wholesome as rancid milk.

Perfectly splendid products, eg cheese are made from rancid milk.
