RE: Taste test
That's IT! The milk chocolate DOES taste like a star wars action figure…Chewy.

I would be interested to have you do a blind taste test as you knew which was which. I'm doing blind testing at work today and the general public is not agreeing with you.

OH…I just read this on the ABC report:

Hershey, meanwhile, stands by its products. The company "is committed to making the world's best chocolate," said spokesman Kirk Saville. "

How can you say that when you don't use Cocoa Butter? CRAZY

What would Mr. Wonka say about this aberration???

I tried both candies this morning. I didn't really like either. The "chocolate candy" was sort of bland. It sort of tasted like a tootsie roll- as M suggested but the flavor wasn't that distinct. The "milk chocolate" version was just nasty. Initial flavor was ok but then it left this vile after taste. I wonder if it was rancid because it's old stock. Should have checked the sell by date.

I think I will stick with traditional m & m candy . I do wish we had an insider at Hershey's like we do at Taco Bell. I'd like to know scoop on this crappy product.
