<p>they’re so hard and oily and gross and i’m pretty sure they’re not made of real chocolate. </p>
<p>and people always give them to me as presents/valentine’s/just randomly. why do people like them? how do i deal with this?</p>
<p>guys, help me. it’s actually a huge burden on my life.</p>
<p>Make some peanut butter cookies. They make Hershey’s kisses taste better.</p>
<p>Give them to homeless people :)</p>
<p>Hershey’s, in general, taste’s like butt. IMO.</p>
<p>Give them to someone else. Someone you don’t like, so you have the pleasure of giving someone crap chocolate.</p>
<p>Hershey’s chocolate is indeed real chocolate, but it is more acidic than “standard” European-style chocolate (like Dove, Moser Roth, Ghirarirdillelli…i), it goes back to the original concept of Hershey’s chocolate to “save” expired milk by making chocolate from it. Oh, it’s not that gross, cheese and buttermilk are both “expired milk” products.</p>
<p>Ya know, in Europe they have acidic butter. They’re used to the taste of it.</p>
<p>So just buy a Dove bar.</p>

<p>no, i’m pretty sure the proportion of cocoa butter in a hershey’s kiss precludes it from being called real chocolate, by european standards certainly…</p>
<p>In case anyone is interested, there is a great book comparing the Hershey and Mars chocolate companies:</p>

<p>I dislike chocolate in general.</p>
<p>It’s funny because milk chocolate used to be the thing popular in Europe and a luxury item.</p>
<p>Send them to me :)</p>
<p>Hold up now! Them’s fighting words. If you don’t like chocolate then appreciate the symbolism of the kiss.</p>
<p>Symbolism?</p>
<p>Give them to me? 
idk, maybe if you melt them down and then drizzle it over a bowl of icecream (cookie dough, anyone?) it might taste better! :)</p>
<p>Hershey’s chocolate is disgusting. If you don’t like them, I suggest keeping them then using them as a present for someone else. Saves money as well :D</p>
