what is aregular hershey bar made of? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.194.229.207 (talk) 01:00, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

It appears that someone may have vandalized this page, The following: "As a result, the Hershey flavor is very widely recognized by people who have had too much to drink last night, or those with stomach viruses." doesn't seem quite right, —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.236.26.178 (talk) 09:59, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

WPFood assessment
This article concerns one of the most famous candy bars in the world. I rated it as a start level article with High importance because of its importance in the areas of the American confectionery industry, it historical significance in American popular culture and its knowledge in United States and abroad. --Jeremy ( Blah blah... ) 02:53, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * It's undoubtedly important in the US, but the US isn't the world. An attempt to introduce Hersheys into the UK confectionary market failed spectacularly a few years ago. I don't know of any countries outside North America where it is a major product. --80.176.142.11 (talk) 12:47, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Cookies 'N Mint?
I'm considering adding the Cookies 'N Mint variety of Hershey Bar, but I haven't seen any around lately. Does anyone know if it's discontinued?

I'm pretty sure that it wasn't a special run as it was available in Utah for about six years...

Hershey's with Almonds: bar shape
Traditionally the Hershey's with Almonds bar had a rounded shape, clearly visible in the image on this vintage box. Now it is being sold as a flatter bar resembling the non-almonds variety, as shown on the official Hershey's page for the product. Does anyone know when this change took place? 71.168.140.56 (talk) 02:32, 23 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Bar shape appropriated in aviation circles to describe a simple constant chord rectangular wing known as a "Hershey Bar wing", e.g. Piper_PA-28_Cherokee which references back to this article. Such attributions are sometimes included in a "Legacy" section. Rairden (talk) 22:26, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Butyric acid and 'tangy' flavour
For 'tangy' replace with 'vomit-like' as this is how this product is almost universally experienced outside of America.. http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2010/dec/08/hersheys-kisses-come-to-britain?commentpage=2#start-of-comments Vauxhall1964 (talk) 14:26, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

Make no mistake, Hershey knows how to make good chocolate (e.g., Symphony and they produce Cadbury in the U.S.); the problem is with their brand recipe. I've always thought it tasted cheesy or "off" and the fact that they use sour milk explains why. I read an account (from an irate Briton who said it was the only time he'd ever thrown chocolate away) claiming that the "recipe" originated from a large batch of milk that went sour and Hershey didn't want to waste it. Any truth to that? --Cryptognome (talk) 18:55, 18 December 2013 (UTC)


 * I agree, the "Hershey's tastes like vomit" opinion among non-Americans has reached almost meme standards on the internet  (seriously,  google "hershey's tastes like sick")  They severely changed the recipe when it was released in the UK,  and resembles the flavour of Yorkie Bars here. --86.177.6.167 (talk) 05:04, 21 February 2016 (UTC)


 * See I'm confused, because while I've noticed Hershey's tastes awful (no other American chocolate seems to have this problem), if anything, it could use a little tanginess. It tastes dull, bitter, akin to dark chocolate even when it's ostensibly milk chocolate. I'm quite sensitive to butyric acid (I can tell when butter's been left out, it'll have a disgusting, cheesy taste to me that nobody else can detect) but I certainly wouldn't call it tangy by any stretch. It's more garlicky. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.186.125 (talk) 01:30, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Wing Form Trivia
Square wings commonly seen on small planes such as Cessna types got the moniker "Hershay Bars" sometime in the past. Maybe we can get a trivia section in here, unless there is already one in another Hershey's-related page. Patron Vectras (talk) 13:08, 20 October 2022 (UTC) Wing_configuration
