I guess everyone has something they feel strongly about. I think some of you people feel about chocolate the way I feel about pizza. NYC real pizzeria, no chains, no deep dish, crispy crust, brick oven if possible but not a deal breaker, real cheese, not too sweet. There's an old joke about there not being any such thing as a bad pizza; I disagree.
To be brutally honest I'm not particularly into chocolate, I can take it or leave it
Cheese on the other hand ......

Sorry ..personally I'm not partial...when I was growing up they were the cheapest boxed chocolates and are a little bit of a joke down to the appalling kitsch ambassador adverts that we still enjoy quoting badly
If you look at the ingredients, Quality chocolate you'd be looking for high cocoa solids content above 70% and no use of vegetable oil in place of cocoa butter because vegetable oil is cheaper.
Ingredients. MILK chocolate 30% (sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa mass, skimmed MILK powder, concentrated BUTTER, emulsifier: lecithins (SOYA), vanillin), HAZELNUTS (28.5%), sugar, palm oil, WHEAT flour, whey powder (MILK), fat-reduced cocoa, emulsifier: lecithins (SOYA), raising agent (sodium bicarbonate), salt, vanillin
Who cares if they're some of the cheaper ones? They taste heavenly! Hazelnuts and chocolate? SOLD!
Personally I'm not a chocolate snob (or a food snob for that matter). My sister has a job that sends her traveling all over the world and she always brings me something special like handcrafted high quality chocolates, teas, all kinds of fancy foodstuff which I really enjoy. Does not change the fact that Ferrero Rocher tastes like a trip to the unicorn land to me, but then again I have a weakness for hazelnut chocolatey stuff, which is also why a full jar of Nutella will never make it to my shelf again. I'll stick with the single serve packs, thank you.
As I said personal preference, they taste like meh to me
And we are supposed to take chocolate advice from someone who's never had a proper taco?
I have so

I agree. Nestlé is below Hershey's chocolate as far as quality, IMO.1 -
Just going to leave this here...
Not doing commercial chocolate anymore since I found those... It also helped greatly reduce my chocolate intake since they're sooo frigging expensive. I never knew you could savor one single praliné for so long. I usually end up taking minuscule bites just to make the pleasure last longer.

Yep. They heat the milk which is why Hershey's tastes like chocolate-flavored cheese. But if you grow up with it you can't taste it.

I awesomed you for liking Hershey and now you post this???
I'm disappointed.
I think I need these in my life though.2 -

I'm completely with you. I'm so picky about my pizza now... there is DEFINITELY such a thing as disgusting pizza.
Agreed (except for the tiresome NYC is best pizza claim, of course, especially when people start insisting it's the water or going on about folding it over). ;-) I'm picky about my chocolate too, though, it's just some of the chocolate I like is pretty low brow. (I am with those who wouldn't waste calories on Hersheys, though. It's not that it tastes bad to me, just blah.)0 -

If you only like pizza a certain way, you don't really like pizza.
A true pizza lover loves the best pizza (which is Cassano's in sw Ohio, a St. Louis style thin crust pizza) and the worst pizza (little ceasar's).
Same with chocolate. If you only like gourmet chocolate, you're not a chocolate lover.
I love Hershey kisses.
I love m&ms.
I love pillsbury brownies.
I love Twix.
I love Betty Crocker chocolate cake (box mix) with Betty Crocker chocolate icing.
I love all the chocolate.

Yeah - I put Pizza Hut well below LC. Actually, there's a number of local places that are...not good...for pizza. Oh, I'll still eat it, if someone else buys it, but I won't buy it myself. Of course, there are a couple of really good local pizza places here.1 -

Probably means extremely thin cracker like crust but cut in squares. Usually anyone outside of St Louis has no idea about provel cheese. I live in STL now but not born here, I can tolerate it on IMO's pizza but I prefer mozzarella.

You. Giant. Tease.
Don't do that to an Aussie in Canada that hasn't had these in years, and the only store that used to sell them (Loblaws) closed down.
The things I'd do for Tim Tams.. I love to use them as a straw for coffee (it's the only way!) I LOVED the hazelnut and caramel ones, but never found them here.
But oreos are love, too.
They sell them at Sobeys in my area0 -

It's a childhood taste which is why I like it. I haven't had it in 20 years. For outsiders it may be an acquired taste.0
