It is far more likely that consuming the other cheap and nasty stuff

I like chocolate up to 85% cocoa solids and I have tasted 90%, 95% and
100% which are all too bitter for my palate. One of the Xmas lectures
was on chocolate  a few years back. Best high quality chocolate in the
world includes Swiss, Portuguese, Belgian and Japanese.

The Hershey Special Dark bars are OK in an emergency, like stranded in
a life raft or a prison cell.

I won't forgive Hershey for buying Joseph Schmidt Confections and
killing it.

Cadbury is mostly inedible. As is Dove.
