    I don't understand how anybody could prefer Hersheys to cadburys.

    American candies are mostly nasty.

    Hersheys chocolate is disgusting.

    The texture is horrid

    Sour punch straws are a rare exception, ****s magic.

    +1, I used to eat an unholy amount of these when on holidays in the US, and then a few years ago I realised they had become available in Ireland. That was the best day of my life.

    Ben & Jerry's cookie dough, with a few mini reese's peanut butter cups, mmmmmm.

    Don't know to be honest. Somebody brought me home a load of Hersheys chocolate a few months ago. I threw the lot out.

    If a gun was put in my face and I was told to eat American candy, I would reluctantly eat an Oreo.

    Thats it.

    I know. Was just being a smart arse. Sorry!

    I don't like the taste of it. Can't say why. The chocolate is greasy, the biscuits are too sweet and the normal sweets (jelly fizzy yokes) are the same, I suppose. Not a fan of them anyway. Their cakes are really horrible. Everything tastes like it could survive a nuclear holocaust. I've a fairly refined taste in sweeties though.

    Given that a large percentage of the candy made/sold in the US is also sold internationally (like in Ireland, for example); I don't think you'd have to ask the Americans.

    Maybe your dislike isn't of candy?

    Think of how do you get the bag out of the tea, this should keep you busy for a while, I think.

    I love american candy and so do my sons so my parents always bring us loads home from Florida.

    American chocolate is disgusting, it actually tastes like sh!t. Especially Hershey, it's vile. I feel sick just thinking about it.

    I wonder what do Americans think of our chocolate?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 204 ✭✭God...

    He's not from the U.S though...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,867 ✭✭✭Tonyandthewhale


    There are exceptions (occasionally glorious exceptions) but a great deal of the food to come out of the US is just vile, their 'candy' is perhaps the worst offender. Hershey's chocolate is crap, twinky's are down right frightening and a lot of the rest is just too upsetting to think about.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    John

    He's Canadian :p


    Great effort though, 7/10!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 604 ✭✭✭tempura


    How do they have so many fat people when their sweets taste so bad

    Because America invented the one dollar menu.
