Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Hershey is giving other candy/food manufacturers below-market deals on chocolate or above-market licensing deals to produce their chocolate candies in the USA so Americans don’t discover how much better chocolate tastes without butyric acid. Inexpensive foreign chocolate could destroy The Hershey Company and there are big companies like Nestlé or Mondelēz that could do it relatively easily but instead let Hershey’s produce their brands under license with butyric acid added.
As a Brit, Hershey chocolate is an abomination. I'm a fat fuck who looooooves chocolate, but even I couldn't stomach a bag of Kisses that someone once brought back for me. Awful shit.
And now you fuckers have bought Cadbury, even that chocolate has become dog shit. Not as disgusting, but nowhere near as good as it was.
Can Americans please stop making food. Let the world bring it to you.
I’ve always liked KitKat. It’s a good candy bar. But when I learned that Nestlé makes KitKat in the rest of the world, and Hershey makes it in the US, I knew I needed to try some of the forbidden Nestlé KitKat. (Forbidden both because we don’t have it in the US, and also because fuck Nestlé).
Now any time I travel outside the US, I come home with a bag of Nestlé KitKats. They’re so much better than the Hershey version, which is already good!
I used to like kitkat but I don't get them anymore because fuck nestle.
I have a good source of Japanese kit kat. They are so much better
My Swiss friend got me converted to Kaegie chocolates, same concept as KitKat but so much more decadent!
Yeah you guys need Wedel in your lives.
Here I am living in Ecuador the land of caco literally drive anywhere here and it's on the streets for miles yet we go to the store and all you can buy is sabor de chocolate (chocolate flavored)... Shits nasty... I want my butyric acid over this crap
