    Hershey chocolate bar is rejected as chocolate because it doesn’t have enough cocoa and is contaminated with lead.

    Hershey’s milk chocolate contains around 11% cocoa solids, meaning it doesn’t meet the European standard according to some sources. Therefore, in some European countries, Hershey’s is labeled as “chocolate-flavored” or “chocolate-flavored candy bar” rather than simply “chocolate”.

      Makes me think of “American Cheese Product,” “cheese” that is closer to plastic but tastes and feels like cheese.

      The cadmium is actually part of a new marketing push: “Try Hershey’s, they’re Cadmiummy”

      Glad the quality chocolate and also coffee isn’t wasted on the US.
      Would be pearls before swines.
      They don’t know better anyway.

        This is just bigotry. Just because a shitty megacorp makes shitty products that doesn’t mean good chocolate or coffee don’t exist here. You sound like the type of person who bases their views entirely on stereotypes.

          Oh no bigotry!
          It’s not about 1 shitty company. OC in a large country there will be some individuals who get good coffee or chocolate.
          But the vast majority consume garbage quality.
          And it’s OK bcs they are tasteless peasants.
          Drown it in sugar, or better their beloved corn syrup and they’ll happily swallow it by the buckets.
          My view is based on all US products I had the misfortune to taste.
          Besides stereotypes are often true.

            What a moron. You chosing to consume shitty products is not an excuse to be a racist bigot, and you choosing to believing does not make them true, that’s why they’re stereotypes. You’re sound exactly like nazi saying that the stereotypes about jews are often true or a white supremacist saying the stereotypes about black people are often true or a homophobic religious zealot saying that the stereotypes about gays are often true. You saying it so, doesn’t make it so, the only thing it does is demonstrate your appalling ignorance.

              LOL so butthurt.
              Calm TF down clown.

              “you choosing to believing does not make them true”

              Stereotypes are not ‘choosing to believing’ whatever TF you’re trying to say.
              I said they are often true.
              Like the groteskly obese american stereotype, proven by any study.

              I can see from other comments who say you are transphobic and a zionist 🤮 that I shouldn’t care about your opinion.
              So fuck off, bye nazionist
