My wife is French and the first time I visited her parents I had a Cadbury's chocolate bar in the car. My mother-in-law to be asked me if she could try a bit and she burst into tears when she had some. It later turned out that the last time she had tasted it was during the liberation of 1944, when a squaddie had thrown her a bar and the flavour brought back all kinds of powerful emotions that she'd forgotten.

Hershey added the acid for shelf life, and it was shipped to American soldiers during the war, they had the opportunity to change the recipe at the end of the war but decided to keep it the same to welcome the troops home with a taste they knew. In the US, Cadbury is also made under licence by Hershey and tastes American due to a US recipe instead of the UK recipe

The irony is. Cadburys used to be even better. then the Americans tried to change it. So the current recipe is not the best one. Its what we got after the factory gates where almost stormed.

As many people have said, Cadbury's chocolate took a nose dive in quality after it was taken over, in a hostile take-over, by an American company. It's why you see palm oil in the ingredients now for example. If you want to taste what it used to taste like, a member of the original Cadbury family has started a new company, making chocolate to the old recipe, called LoveCocoa. Well worth checking out, as are chocolate bars from other UK companies like Montezuma, Whitakers, Hotel Chocolat, Duffy's. All well worth exploring, and all much nicer than present-day Cadbury's. And not forgetting our other European friends, there is Tony's Chocolonely bars from the Netherlands, Lindt from Switzerland, Godiva, Guylian (check out their sea shells!) or Amelie from Belgium, Martin's from France - a whole chocolatey odyssey.

In 2010 Kraft Foods took over Cadbury, the year later they reneged spectacularly on promises made and made hundreds of redundancies in Bournville, the birthplace of Cadbury and essentially ended up ceasing all production, of which it mainly transferred to Poland to cut costs. In 2012, despite what Kraft stated at the time, they wanted to distance the Kraft name from the damage they had done to both the brand and product, and created Mondelez international. A name purposely intended to appear Swiss, where they are renound for their quality chocolate.

Alanna, I have been subscribed to your channel for a few years now, and I have always enjoyed your videos. That being said, with this particular broadcast, you have surpassed yourself. It is so funny! I think that it is your best ever. Congratulations on all the research that you did, too. I do think that there is an extra mystery here. From memory, Hershey's white chocolate products (like the Cookies and Cream bar) and its Reece's spin-off peanut butter products do NOT smell and taste of vomit. It is only the milk chocolate bar that does. In other words, they are perfectly capable of making eligible chocolate when they want to. I heard that during the Great Depression and F.D.R.'s New Deal, the state helped out farmers by buying up stocks of rotting milk. This was then used in the manufacture of cheap chocolate. Oddly, people got used to the taste over time, and so Hershey's carried on mimicking the flavour with its current ingredients up to the present day. Final historical anecdote. When the Yanks ran the southern occupied sector of Germany (out of Munich) following the end of WW2, they would often give hungry German children Hershey bars. The children would eat them and feel nauseous. Their mothers would then sample the chocolate and find it equally revolting. Complaints were then made to the civil and military authorities that the Americans were poisoning their children out of vindictiveness for the war crimes of the Nazis! In other words, they were feeding them a foul-tasting decoy chocolate on purpose. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Americans actually thought that they were giving them a treat!

There's a Cadbury factory here in Tasmania. Good stuff.

Hotel Chocolat uses at least 40% cocoa, and in 2015 they came up with a concoction featuring 65% cocoa and half the sugar of their traditional 40% blend - that's why it takes the palm among British chocolate brands. You should do a taste test on their products soon, Alanna! In light of the above, you'll understand why I say that neither Cadbury nor Galaxy hold a candle to Hotel Chocolat, but I would tend to go for Cadbury over Galaxy if forced to limit my choice between them. And Hershey's doesn't hold a candle to Cadbury or Galaxy! Based upon your findings about its chemical content, I daresay it's one thing that your palate won't miss much from childhood.

The taste of the local milk has a huge difference. You can taste the difference between Irish Cadburys and UK Cadburys.

Galaxy over Cadbury dairy milk. American bread is cake.

I don't know if you've got a B&M Bargains where you are, but the one in my town sometimes has Australian-made Cadburys chocolate, and its different again. The one I had had a different flavour in each square. You'll spot them easily on the shelf because the label is in portrait. (B&M has those Hershey bars, too.) Also, try the Choceur brand from Aldi.

i use butyric acid as an ingredient in fishing baits in pure form it doesnt smell like sick/vomit however it does smell like digested food its hard to explain, its not like sick that has strong stomach acids but digested very slowly like a blue cheese or cured meat kinda thing.

Ah the American "vomit" chocolate problem. I found out the hard way just how loose American food standards are when I went to New York last year. I got a small bottle of Fanta when walking around one day. After drinking about half of it I started to get a really bad headache and felt a bit sick. At first I coulnd't figure out why, then when Iooked at the label I noticed that the amount of sugar was very high. So, I decided to Google it and see how much it was compared to the UK. It turns out that it's 3 and 1/2 times more sugar than the UK version!

Hi Alanna, very good video as ever, but a term which you used "mouth feel", about 10 years ago I wasn't able to keep food down (inside me once eaten), eventually I found out that I have a problem with my liver and that meat no longer agrees with my insides, eventually I tried veggie meat and it wasn't good (taste wise). But about 2 years ago I bought some veggie meat which I hadn't seen before and it actually tasted quite good, actually like meat (OK what I remembered of meat, my perception was skewed by the memory of being ill when I ate meat), what I eventually realised though is that it isn't the actual taste, it's the "mouth feel" which this faux meat has. However, typically a medication has been prescribed to me which means that I can now have some meat on occasion, I'm pleased that it wasn't alcohol that I couldn't have 😅

its less about "what people want" and more like "what people are given" and grew up with it like that

There's a shocking surprise

It is also how you produce the milk powders. Milk products change the longer they are stored. Unless you get milk to the processor very quickly the quality alters. It isn't only the butyric acid content but the di-acetyl content which is like off butter flavours.

Here in NZ, we have Nestle, Cadbury's, and a local variety called Whittaker. Anyone and everyone who's tried Whittaker has switched, including Nigella Lawson. 😊

If you want to taste vomit, go ahead try a Hershey's. Alternatively, you could put parmesan on a UK chocolate bar.

Wow thank you for clarifying this. Around 10 years ago I was gifted Hershey’s bars (I’m Australian) and it tasted dubious. After eating it made me incredibly and inexplicably ill to the point that the sight of the empty package made me want to hurl. I always assumed the memory of a vomit like taste was my imagination.

Personally, I don't believe anything has to do with "what people want"... it's about what the manufacturers can get away with and hence profit. The differences in recipes aren't because people prefer one taste over another, it's that that's what they were raised on and don't know any difference. I've never seen any manufacturer say "hey everybody, we've released 10 new types of plain milk chocolate bar and we want to see which one sells the best over the year". Ditto for butter, milk, Ritz crackers and pretty much any other food you can think of.

Bread in UK Generally speaking UK wholemeal bread will have some sugar in it especially sliced loaves, although some don't. This is more to do with helping activate the yeast than to do with deliberately making wholemeal sweeter. White bread doesn't need sugar to help activate the yeast during baking. I'm assuming in the US you mean they add sugar anyway even if it's not needed for the baking to work?

On sugar - I read about a study which looked at the difference between the British and American palate. It turns out that because Americans are exposed to so much sugar in their foods they need more of it before they can detect it. In turn, this makes them add more when they want noticeable sweetness. This is why there's such a massive gulf for anyone not used to their level of sugar.

There is an amazing difference in quality if you try the more premium chocolates in supermarkets - typically cost twice as much but 40-50% chocolate is superb. My guess is that the 70% bars which don't usually have milk may not be sweet/smooth enough for your tastes but that's where (a lot of!) my money goes.

I'm amazed that you never used your naff scoring system and gave the Cadbury's 5 out of 5, and the Hershey's 1 out of 10 ! Lol. 🤪

Having grown up in Bournville and eating Cadbury's all my life, when I went to Toronto and tried a Hershey's bar like you have in the video and found it to be totally fine chocolate. Only as different as Mars or Nestle chocolate from Cadbury's. Not sure if there's maybe variations available in different places across North America??

7:49 yep! “Cadbury has been a holder of a Royal Warrant from Queen Elizabeth II since 1955” if u look in on the back of the wrapper, it has like this gold royal seal of approval thingy!

A lot of what used to be penny-sweets like Jazzles and White Mice (or the less common brown variant) tend to be labelled as chocolate flavoured candy. Depends where you buy them from now though, supermarket versions seem to be more chocolatey while pound-shop versions are more like the old penny-sweet style. I've often wondered if these are more American-style.

Butteric acid is formed as butter ages and acidifies, and thus the name. It is also found other dairy products.

Great video Alanna! I'm going to support the video by eating some Dairy Milk :-)

The first time I had some American chocolate was in New York in 1976, where I made the mistake of purchasing a bar of Hersheys. I went back to the shop and noticed they had Cadburys Dairy Milk. I was disappointed with this bar too, as it didn't have the unique Cadburys taste. I looked at the wrapper and noticed it had been made by Hersheys under licence from Cadburys. It didn't have the sick taste as they used the Cadburys recipe, but using a different quality of milk, cocoa and water must of made a difference. Each chocolate company in Europe has its own unique flavour. For example Milka has a total different taste to Cadburys, but they are both made by the same over arching parent company Mondalez, which of course was Kraft. Thanks for the fab video.

It’s not just chocolate that is weird. The same goes for butter and milk as I discovered whilst living in North Carolina many moons ago

American foods in general have taste traits that many countries find strange, whilst in America a few years ago I was asked if I wanted the meat to be tenderised before cooking, this was for a fillet steak! I asked what was meant, and was told that it's very common to use a tenderising powder on meat products before cooking! Hershey "chocolate" has to be up there with the worst I've ever tasted, yes, it's revolting stuff. Nice one Alana, keep it up. p.s. The only criticism I would level at Cadbury's is that they are still using palm oil in their products.
