After a Deal, British Chocolates Won’t Cross the Pond
Discussion
Tasty choccu denied to the Yanks!
"“Have you tried Hershey’s chocolate?” asked Nicky Perry, a longtime British expatriate living in New York.
“I’d never sell it in my store,” she said, using a string of imaginative expletives to describe how the ubiquitous American chocolate tastes to her."

I don't know why people like Hershey's. Whenever someone says they've bought some chocolate and then pull out a load of them, I always look disappointed. I'll still eat them because it's better than eating dog st. If you're reading this, Mr Hershey, feel free to use that slogan. "Hershey's - better than eating dog st."
I remember being told that the reason Hershey's tastes as vile as it does is because in the early 20th century, it wasn't practical to keep the milk refrigerated on the way to the plant, so it had started to go off by the time the chocolate was made.
Once they could keep it refrigerated at a reasonable cost, they did so, but got lots of complaints about the new flavour, so went back to deliberately spoiling the milk slightly.
I tried Hershey's once. To my palate, it tasted like that disgusting puke-in-a-pot faux Parmesan that used to get trotted out with pasta in the Seventies!

It's ok, you can keep that secret.
One of our neighbours is a consultant engineer for Hershey, his wife gives us samples of new products and some existing ones.
The samples vary a lot, some of the new dark chocloate seem fine, the white choc does not have the creamy taste of UK white chocolate.
The chocolate used in Hershey kisses is pretty bad.
However the purchase of Hershey is not compulsory yet
Plenty of German chocolate here.

Cadbury (and Nestle; they make kit-kats too) agreed to licence their products to them, as the USA is a big market, and tricky to get into without the infrastructure required to do so. My guess is that Mondelez (who now own Cadbury) will attempt to work their way out of the agreement at some point in the reasonably near future though, given how global they are.
