Wait until you find out most ice cream is not real ice cream but something called "frozen dairy dessert"

I honestly didn’t know Hershey didn’t use “real Chocolate” until this thread.



They've been using "coatings" that including palm oil and shea oil, to create fake "chocolatey" coatings. It's basically just cheap vegetable oil base with artificial chocolate flavoring.

Crazy to go cheap to that extreme considering their stuff isn't cheap at all.

They have milk chocolate with almonds, hazelnuts, pretzels, caramel, coconut, etc. If you cannot find a flavor you like, it's on you.







I guess it’s “on me” then, and ill have to take your word for it, since i havent been to a Trader Joe’s in like 5 yrs .. but when i first started shopping there circa 2003 i think, up until about 5 or 10 years ago- their sweet products were about 90% dark chocolate .

I hate being "that guy" but the fact that this is even possible blows my mind. They're selling some wild blended shite and labeling it differently.

I'm not some crazy hippie or anything but holy shite look at the ingredients list on a Hershey bar.

It’s only because Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and Easter are over. That’s the big chocolate holidays. They have already made shite tons of money by using inferior ingredients.

Far as i know, they are still required to label ‘frozen dairy dessert’ as such.. much like “American cheese” is legally required to be labeled as ‘processed cheese product’ or whatever.. that stuff should just be called ‘nasty-arse plastic tasting fake goo’.. but i digest .

But yeah, i wouldnt be surprised if lobbyists arent already advocating to not have to label fake food at all..that way they can continue to keep us fat, keep us sick and keep us broke- whilst increasing their profit … The shittification of everything continues unabated .

WTF…we are eating then.

I guess it is something similar to the whole debate on whether Velveeta or Kraft Singles are really cheese or a pasteurized processed cheese product.

There is no debate.. amongst anyone with even half a brain, and with functioning tastebuds- Velveeta and Kraft singles are processed fake food that tastes nasty .

Trolling? Hershey is publicly traded. Their chocolate has been shitty for decades.

I’m not one of those hippie conspiracy people. But it is absolutely crazy what we as citizens put up with concerning our food supply system in the US. How fricking hard is it for a chocolate company to use fricking actual chocolate in their chocolate products?
