“chocolate” in mainstream candy is such garbage now. I couldn’t bring myself to get the kiddos Reese’s peanut butter eggs this year and I used to love those
Dude and what the hell is it with that weird vomity aftertaste? I swear to god I dont remember it being that way when I was a kid but something in the new chocolate just leaves such a nasty aftertaste on my mouth…
In order to stabilize the milk they use in the milk chocolate bars and make them last longer on the shelf, they treat it with a process that converts some of the milk fats into butyric acid. That’s the vomit flavor. I’m sorry to report that it has probably always tasted that way, you just didn’t notice. They’ve been using the same process since the early 20th century.

I refuse to buy anything except real chocolate bars by lindt or similar “premium” brands
Honestly, some of the best chocolate you can get is just semi-sweet baking chips

It was popularised after world war 2, iirc, so it’s been the way it is for a good while.
