hersheys chocolate was original made with bad ingredients due to wartime rationing

and since americans are giant babies who can't stand change, nowadays they use extra additives to put the spoiled milk flavour back in despite (allegedly) not using spoiled milk any more

they did something called 'trunk or treat' near me where everyone just drove to a shady parking lot with candy in their trunks and kids visited whomever seemed the least sinister

you're not an rear end in a top hat, just someone evidently spoiled by European candy

if you do a blind taste test with a Cadbury and a Hersheys an American will always pick the Hersheys because its boring but familiar

a British guy will favor the Cadbury

a French guy will spit out both and claim you tried to poison him
