Fun fact: it's got all those chunky bits because one of the cofounders literally didn't have a sense of taste and put the chunks in for the textures.
Milton Hershey, of chocolate fame, didn't have a sense of taste either--he smoked so many cigars that they completely burned out his taste buds.
This is what led to the disaster that was beet sherbet. Mojeek that sometime.
Ben and Jerry were hippies, so I wonder if it was the weed.
Is that why Hershey's tastes like a burnt wax bar?
I think most Americans, myself included, get introduced to Hershey's chocolate at such an early age that we never really stop to think, "why does this taste subtly of vomit?"
That's actually an aftereffect from WWII, replacing part of the cocoa fat with stearic acid.
