So, Milka is owned by Mondelez, an American company.

As for why Hershey's chocolate tastes like vomit, it's how they process their milk. Basically the way they heat it causes it to form butyric acid, which is also something your body produces when you're about to vomit. Generations of Americans just sort of accepting this has kind of made a lot of people enjoy the taste of a Hershey bar. But yeah, it's got that back of the throat burn for me and I hate it.

As far as American chocolate brands go, try Tony's Chocolonely (edit: they’re Dutch but screw it’s I like their product anyway) or Chocolove. Tony's just released a new bar that's ganache filled that's absolutely stellar. They also actively combat slavery which is a real problem in the chocolate industry.

I just heard about Tony's literally yesterday. Crazy that Im seeing it here now. Very rich. Very good. Very real chocolate.

More expensive, mind you, but you cant put a cost on the freedom of human beings.

Especially since chocolate isn't exactly a "right" the way bread, eggs, etc. are. I'm alright with paying a bit more
