Odd. I've never considered hershey's to be a "premium" chocolate. My view on it is that it's one of the lowest quality junk chocolates you can buy compare to all the other (international) brands.

> "Hershey’s chocolate (and some other American brands) are thought to taste particularly bad in European countries, areas where the world’s best chocolates from Belgium, Switzerland, France, and Germany are regularly on offer. In these countries chocolate must contain at least 20% cacaco in order to be legally called chocolate. In the U.S. it’s only 10% that’s required. But, it appears that quality is not the only factor."

> "Hershey’s is thought to be made with milk that has been put through a process called controlled lipolysis. This result of this process can result in the by-product of butyric acid, a chemical that is found in sour milk, rancid butter, parmesan cheese, and which is responsible for the horrible taste and smell of baby vomit."
