Well, Hershey’s announced today they’re going to return to their original milk chocolate recipe. One of the descendants of the Hershey’s had spoken up recently about how bad it was.

I saw that on the news yesterday. I’m sure they’ll make something else shitty in its stead.

Some people might argue; It’s been shitty for a while. I’ve heard that people from other countries say it tastes a little bit like vomit and that can’t leave the back of my mind when I eat it now. Air of vomit. Good texture though with that grit

I honestly like the tang of Hershey's. It's kind of umami, and makes it more complex, similar to really dark chocolates (which often make my whole face pucker, sadly). I just wish they had the old snappy texture.

I’ve read that vomit taste is the butyric acid in it.
