Someone needs to pay for this affront

1. As if their chocolate was not bad enough.

Serious, their Hershey bars are so waxy now they hardly qualify as chocolate. I know Hershey was never supposed to be high quality chocolate, but it decent(or was at one time).

I do remember a thread here....might have been more than a yr. The thread was on how i think Hershey wanting the definition of chocolate changed, for this very reason it appears. With a change in the definition no need to make those pesky label changes.

2. YUCK!

No wonder the chocolate chips I bought the other day tasted like garbage.

3. Hershey's tastes like crayons.

I'd just as soon put rabbit turds in my chocolate chip cookies as use Hersheys' Waxy Fake Chocolate -- Ghirardelli makes some good chips. Hershey's sucks.

4. Thats what i get from todays Hershey bars.

A waxy lumpy substance that does not readily melt in the mouth as it should. Any sort of creaminess is completely gone.Leaves a waxy feeling on my tongue and roof of the mouth.

5. Maybe that is why they closed their plant in Ontario.

6. They shifted operations to Mexico,

ending all Canadian operations. They lost 900 jobs in Hershey PA, too. Fucking town is NAMED for 'em!!

16. I used to like Whoppers - the malted milk ball candy - and lately

they've tasted like CRAP! And it's because of the damn high fructose corn syrup / vegetable oil substitutions everywhere. Frosted Mini Wheats don't taste the same, lots of stuff is now polluted and ruined with substitutions.

Yuk.

Do people really not notice the difference in taste?

17. This is a bone of contention in the European Union

<snip> You see, in Mediterranean Europe, chocolate is only made with cocoa butter, and has a minimum cocoa requirement (generally above 50%). In the UK, however, chocolate can be made with vegetable fat instead of cocoa butter and can have less cocoa than the requisite 50%.

This was a matter of such grave importance that the legal war lasted 30 years.

19. This is a sign of the apocalypse

Is it not written in scripture that the antichrist shall appear, and will replace cane sugar with HFCS, and cocoa butter with vegetable oil?

20. Has The Rapture happened?

If so will we have time to win an election before whatever is going to happen to us apostates happens? And what does happen with us apostates. If we were just stuck in this hellish imperfect world without all The Raptured I'm thinking it might be an improvement.
