    Hershey chocolate bar is rejected as chocolate because it doesn’t have enough cocoa and is contaminated with lead.

    Hershey’s milk chocolate contains around 11% cocoa solids, meaning it doesn’t meet the European standard according to some sources. Therefore, in some European countries, Hershey’s is labeled as “chocolate-flavored” or “chocolate-flavored candy bar” rather than simply “chocolate”.

      The cadmium is actually part of a new marketing push: “Try Hershey’s, they’re Cadmiummy”

      Makes me think of “American Cheese Product,” “cheese” that is closer to plastic but tastes and feels like cheese.

      Glad the quality chocolate and also coffee isn’t wasted on the US.
      Would be pearls before swines.
      They don’t know better anyway.

        This is just bigotry. Just because a shitty megacorp makes shitty products that doesn’t good chocolate or coffee don’t exist here. You sound like the type of person who bases their views entirely on stereotypes.

          Oh no bigotry!
          It’s not about 1 shitty company. OC in a large country there will be some individuals who get good coffee or chocolate.
          But the vast majority consume garbage quality.
          And it’s OK bcs they are tasteless peasants.
          Drown it in sugar, or better their beloved corn syrup and they’ll happily swallow it by the buckets.
          My view is based on all US products I had the misfortune to taste.
          Besides stereotypes are often true.

            You should rather pity them. It’s like Platon’s Shadow Cave, they’ve been fed lies, their entire lives, the few of them that actually get out of the USA will know the difference… The sad thing is that if you try to convince the ones that have never left the country, they will die rather than admit defeat.

            Sounds like you chose the shitty chocolates. I almost never buy chocolate, but when I do, there is always a healthy selection of 85-90% cacao goodness available.
