Well, if you eat Hersheys, perhaps you deserve what you get. We have other brands - in fact, most states here have their own chocolatiers who produce many wonderful chocolate candies. I was just in Mobile recently and bought some terrific stuff in a small, old-fashioned chocolate shop. But of course, you have to shell out for it and it’s easier for most British tourists to buy the cheapest chocolate and food and then grouse about it.
We all know that luxury chocolate is better than the mass produced stuff, but it costs too much to be a ‘staple’ chocolate. Whittakers of NZ is the best staple chocolate in the world, bar none. I’m sure there are artisan chocolates that could probably beat it in terms of taste, but it is the best chocolate you will get for the price.
