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

Maybe... but I'd have to think carefully about it.

 I won't forgive Hershey for buying Joseph Schmidt Confections and
killing it.
 Cadbury is mostly inedible. As is Dove.

Cadbury was better before it was taken over and ruined by Kraft. I think to a large extent people think chocolate is whatever they grew up with.

Dove is a soap brand in the UK

I wouldn't dream of eating it as chocolate.
I presume like Kenwood Hifi (foodmixers only in UK) the branding is very different in the USA. I don't recall noticing Dove chocolate there.
