How about doing the rest of the posters a favor and keeping your personal dislike of me to yourself? Just a thought.

If you took my comment to be about you then you have an over inflated ego.... we were discusing chocolate and the diffrence between sweetness and bitterness.... UK and USA nothing about H_A

I took it more as a jab at Hershey, but maybe I'm too focused on choccy today.

Quote from the article:

“I can’t afford to keep the A.C. on all night or a chocolate bar would cost $10, wouldn’t it?” she said.

Why wouldn't she just put the chocolate in the refrigerator? Duh! Lol.

Anyway, any British chocolate is far better than American Chocolate in my opinion. It's just what your used to I suppose.

“Hershey’s tastes like ear wax,” said Kevin Ellis, an Alaskan-born designer with Adobe Systems in San Francisco.

For his sake, I hope he doesn't speak from experience

And while I agree that in general UK sweets are far superior to US ones, you will have to pry the Mallomars out of my cold dead hands.

Tunnocks Tea Cakes are slightly better than Mallomars IMHO.

Maybe I'm weird but I find Cadbury's and Galaxy (they taste the same to me) to be too gooey, too melty (that stuff melts almost instantly), too sticky, too sweet, and just not chocolatey enough. It's like chocolate-flavored goo. I just plain can't eat that stuff; the sweetness makes me sick to my stomach. I prefer Hershey's because to me, it's just better all around. I found UK sweets to be just TOO sweet for my taste. I suppose it doesn't help that I don't have much of a sweet tooth; I think chocolate chip cookies are too sweet.

An uncharacteristic diss of British things from you there H_A. I am surprised.

I think this is where lies your problem, HA. Whether you like them or not, they clearly do not taste the same. Refine your palate, girl!

I must admit, after living away from UK chocolate for long enough, whenever I eat it I find it way too sweet. I would probably have the same reaction to US chocolate too, but there's no way in hell anyone would get me to eat it. I've turned to more independent chocolate makers like Rococo and Montezumas. You can't go wrong with prezzies via mail order Hotel Chocolat either.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone have a Cadbury bar handy? Hershey's have whopping 33g of sugar in a 60g bar -- that is over half sugar. I'm wondering what the Cadbury and Galaxy numbers are...

A teaspoon of unsweetened peanut butter. It works, honest. Unless you hate nuts or have a nut allergy of course...

[Kez/JWolf 6]

I dont do peanut butter.... it sticks to the roof of my mouth and makes me vomit.....

Well if that doesn't take away the craving to eat chocolate, I'm not sure what will.
