Can I just tell you that being from Scotland, I tried this American 'candy' recently and I can confirm it is utterly pish

America, your candy is awful. I'd rather watch Jay Leno than eat this dirge

hersheys is shite as is most american sweets, and scottish people eat any old shite, usually as long as it's deep fried or covered in chocolate, or they are drunk, so that's really saying something if hersheys is shite

aye mate, you're right. I wouldnae deep fry this pish if you paid me

cadburys for chocolate and you'll not go wrong

american cheese is a lot of shite too. it's all over processed and fucking horrible. and considering the top 3 best selling cheeses in scotland are cheese strings, cheese slices and dairy lee triangles, that's really saying something

unique said:

I've never tried American cheese

but after my hersheys experience, they can get their cheese to fuck

i should get one of them shows on bbc2 at about 11pm that no-one watches cuz there might be some minor nudity in a documentary on channel 4 and there's a jean claude van damme film on channel 5, and in my show i can just fucking moan about a load of shite, and they can call the show moaning old bastard or something

if that happens, get me on as a talking head. i'll just add my anger about stuff in a glaswegian accent

That would be a funny show. I wouldn't pay to watch it, but it would be funny.

it tastes like chocolate powder
i got some from selfriges its crap

I don't care for the sweetend candy but I love baking with their Dark powder

I'll say it: I love Hersheys. It's delicious.

Most people tend to prefer the type of milk chocolate they taste first.

funny, cadbury is made right down the road from me, right here in the USA

Yeah, my mom uses Hershey's to make chocolate cakes & frosting. I swear, I could eat a bowl of chocolate frosting right now. Don't forget s'mores too. I'm convinced you can't make s'mores unless you use Hershey's. lol. Hershey's is weird.....when I want an actual candy bar, it's like a last resort, because I don't really like the texture or taste of the actual bar.....but the minute you melt it, it's like a totally different chocolate. wtf.

I agree. I'm not a fan of Hershey's at ALL. I load up on Cadbury everytime I'm in the UK. It's such a treat.

There's all kinds of good chocolate and cheese here, though. There's just a lot of crap too.

sermwanderer said:

LOL.....you should come to the state fairs here then.....they deep fry everything....pickles, candy bars, oreos, etc.

A deep fried Cadbury egg.....mmmmm. lol. I get those Cadbury eggs every year when they put them out w/ the Easter candy. They're my favorite. The Fruit & Nut bars are good too.

oh i see, hersheys holds the license to manufacture Cadbury here in the United States.

I care for neither. You should try Esther Price chocolates sometime.

well, we can console ourselves with this:

FIFA World Rankings (August 2009)
12. United States
24. Scotland

Cadbury & Hershey's both taste the same to me. Milky, creamy, powdery YUCK!

The only Hershey's I used to eat back home were Special Dark's.

When it comes to curing a chocolate craving, all you need is a small chunk of:



The UK has it's fair share of chocolate shit candy as well as the states.

Well I live near Hershey, Pennsylvania where the chocolate is made and we grew up on it.

Hershey Park

I always enjoyed going to Hershey PA as a child. I remember going somewhere around there for pretzels too.
The Amish make the best pretzels.

How do you know American cheese is "shite" when you haven't eaten any? The stuff you've listed above is not cheese.

This thread is makin me wanna get all kinds of patriotic.
Long live Edible American Shite!!!

Genesia said:

i've eaten cheese plenty of times in american

i think you've misunderstood the jovial nature of the thread however

unique said:

Wisconsin folk never joke about cheese.

I like really dark chocolate, and Hershey's tends to be too sweet for me, so I'm not a big fan

....but I won't lie, I will break necks for a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup

ROOOOON YE!

hersheys are the fuckers that take REAL cadbury candy, and make it utter crap and release it as cadbury's here in the states.

it's ass compared to real cadbury's

Cadbury is a lot better than Hershey, even here in the US. I ate a Fruit & Nut bar last week. Delicious! I don't really like Hersheys but will eat it in a pinch. Maybe just a Kiss or two.

But yeah it's basically the Big Mac of Chocolate.

Go to the English shops for some really good chocolate.
