WPFood assessment

This article concerns one of the most famous candy bars in the world. I rated it as a start level article with High importance because of its importance in the areas of the American confectionery industry, it historical significance in American popular culture and its knowledge in United States and abroad. --Jeremy ( Blah blah...) 02:53, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's undoubtedly important in the US, but the US isn't the world. An attempt to introduce Hersheys into the UK confectionary market failed spectacularly a few years ago. I don't know of any countries outside North America where it is a major product. --80.176.142.11 (talk) 12:47, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Hersheybar.jpg

Image:Hersheybar.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

what is aregular hershey bar made of? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.194.229.207 (talk) 01:00, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that someone may have vandalized this page, The following: "As a result, the Hershey flavor is very widely recognized by people who have had too much to drink last night, or those with stomach viruses." doesn't seem quite right, —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.236.26.178 (talk) 09:59, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cookies 'N Mint?

I'm considering adding the Cookies 'N Mint variety of Hershey Bar, but I haven't seen any around lately. Does anyone know if it's discontinued?

I'm pretty sure that it wasn't a special run as it was available in Utah for about six years...

Butyric acid and 'tangy' flavour

For 'tangy' replace with 'vomit-like' as this is how this product is almost universally experienced outside of America.. http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2010/dec/08/hersheys-kisses-come-to-britain?commentpage=2#start-of-comments Vauxhall1964 (talk) 14:26, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Make no mistake, Hershey knows how to make good chocolate (e.g., Symphony and they produce Cadbury in the U.S.); the problem is with their brand recipe. I've always thought it tasted cheesy or "off" and the fact that they use sour milk explains why. I read an account (from an irate Briton who said it was the only time he'd ever thrown chocolate away) claiming that the "recipe" originated from a large batch of milk that went sour and Hershey didn't want to waste it. Any truth to that? --Cryptognome (talk) 18:55, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
