I always find it really funny when Europeans complain about Hershey chocolate tasting like vomit when they hold up stuff like Parmigiano Reggiano as an amazing cheese.
Granted that's apples and oranges, because Parmigiano Reggiano is an amazing cheese where Hershey's is cheap, mass produced candy. But they both have butyric acid and so they both equally "taste like vomit".
Sure, but we know that it tastes like shit if you are not accustomed to it, and we give it to foreigners to see their reaction to it. To say it is an acquired taste is to undersell it.
Hershey's says chocolate, but it tastes just off. Vomit is a weird comparison though. I would say it is similar to the ultracheap chocolate you can buy at Aldi stores that is filled with preservatives and palm oil. Fatty and cocoa-ish, without any real chocolate taste.
