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.
Wait you’re telling me not all chocolate gives you the back of the throat burn?! What??? I have been bothered by that my entire life and just accepted that all milk chocolate tastes that way. So i started eating dark chocolate instead
I’ll join you in your astonishment, until now I hadn’t made that connection, even though I’ve had some of the imported chocolate from Trader Joe’s and didn’t have that feeling. Weird.
