Why is American chocolate so disgusting? You really don’t want to know | Arwa Mahdawi

It tastes like sawdust that's been drowned in sugar and soaked with baby vomit - and I've finally discovered why

There are a few things that routinely keep me up at night: the futility of life, the inevitability of death, and the mystery of why the US's chocolate is so disgusting.

Readers who have had the misfortune to encounter a Hershey bar will know exactly what I'm talking about. It's wretched stuff isn't it? If you are in possession of a sound mind and a few functioning taste buds then I don't see how you can possibly enjoy US chocolate. It tastes like sawdust that's been drowned in sugar and soaked with baby vomit.
