[QUOTE=Chains!;46345766]In America, Cadburys is made with Hersheys chocolate. Real Cadburys is incredible.[/QUOTE] Last time I had Hersheys it tasted like arse. It was those little foil-wrapped droplet things, had a really bad smell just sniffing the packet
that's a shame and does anyone else think chocolate coins taste better then regular chocolate?
omg my life is over
Probably couldn't afford to make them anymore what with inflation being what it is now.
I remember trying to unwrap actual gold dollar coins hoping there was chocolate inside. But there wasn't. There just wasn't any chocolate. [editline]27th October 2014[/editline] Only disappointment.

[editline]27th October 2014[/editline] Only disappointment.[/QUOTE]I ate about two pounds of chocolate coins while watching cartoons one day and carefully put the wrappers back together and gently put them in a big basket. When I was all done eating/watching cartoons, I asked my mom if I could go over to my cousin's house. I brought the basket. Then I said with a stone cold killa pokerface "I'll trade you this basket of chocolate for one of you Super Nintendo games, but you also have to apologize to me." See, the week before my cousin who is a [i]fucking asshole[/i] ate my whole bag of gummy worms, and this [i]insult[/i] would not go unanswered. I got an apology, revenge, and Killer Instinct all at once.
[QUOTE=Chains!;46345766]In America, Cadburys is made with Hersheys chocolate. Real Cadburys is incredible.[/QUOTE] Hence why a few years ago the classic Cadbury Creme Egg commercial which has been airing forever was altered to say "nobunny knows Easter better than Hersheys". It was changed back to the original version recently. To be on topic, it's most likely because I'm an American but I didn't know Cadbury made these either. Then again when I was younger and was given these at Christmas I don't believe I ever though to check the brand, what with me being a kid and it being chocolate.
Who will break their teeth biting into real coins after I tell them it's chocolate now?
[QUOTE=Oddshot;46349198]Who will break their teeth biting into real coins after I tell them it's chocolate now?[/QUOTE] I remember buying a pack of Crazy Bones as I thought it was gummy candy or something so I tried to take a bite out of one. Not my finest moment.
this is an attack on the jews what will i do for gelt
I had no idea that chocolate coins were a christmas thing in the UK? I always wondered why they were a thing that existed, and always tasted horrible since we only had cheap dollar store candy ones from an unknown brand. Cadbury ones might have been not terrible, i'm a little disappointed I never got to try one

[QUOTE=Medevila;46347350]I feel like Cadbury's in the states must taste way worse than it does across the pond because what I've had is totally unremarkable IMO Hershey actually makes Cadbury's in the states, maybe the make it taste bland on purpose[/QUOTE] It's probably because of the way milk chocolate in the states is made. Milk chocolate requires fresh milk - as in less than a few days old to make. This is fairly expensive on such a large scale. Back in the day, Hershey developed a different method of making chocolate that is much cheaper - it doesn't require the milk to be as fresh. It's a trade secret the exact way it's done, but it's pretty likely the milk is lipolyzed - splitting the triglycerides in the milk, which produces a tiny bit of butyric acid, which stops the milk from going out of date, letting you use milk that's aged a little more. A vastly cheaper process, it's what gives Hershey's that... distinctive... bitter aftertaste and fairly gloopy sticky texture when melted. The FDA also requires a certain % of chocolate liquor to be classified as milk chocolate, and I believe that's lower than the EU standard % of cocoa solids required for a chocolate to be classified as milk chocolate, so US chocolate tends to be less chocolate-y. Other manufacturers actually stick a bit of butyric acid into their chocolate recipes to emulate the taste that the US public are used to, to sell their milk chocolates (and allow for them to use less fresh milk) to the public. The US public kinda got conditioned into liking the taste, and it means chocolate could be vastly cheaper. It never caught on over here, so our chocolate is made with very fresh milk and done without any butyric acid. If you get used to EU chocolate, you'll generally end up hating the taste of Hershey and such though, I kinda threw up after trying the milk chocolate before. Course you can find traditional small chocolatiers and such over in the US who make good stuff, but mass market chocolate here is much better than US mass market, and we have chocolatiers too!
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;46346269]What are you talking about Hershey's tastes of vomit, and I mean that literally[/QUOTE] Hershey chocolate has been made to suite the taste of Americans, so its really not expected for someone outside the US to like it. That being said, i rarely eat Hershey's since i have switched to Lindt chocolate. I occassionaly eat Hershey's, mostly for the nostalgia factor.
