Have you wondered why some of your favorite candy feels like rubber and

tastes like trash?

I don't think chocolate's supposed to look like this.

And it tastes chewy, too. It doesn't melt in your mouth like chocolate melts

in your mouth.

Ridiculous. Some Hershey's products can no longer be labeled milk chocolate

because some recipes no longer meet the FDA standard.

It's gotten so bad that even the grandson of the founder of Reese's says

some of the chocolate that he's had is so bad that he immediately threw it in

the garbage.

I'm the grandson of H.P. Reese and I have no interest in buying another

Reese's product. In the United States, milk chocolate is a regulated term

defined by the FDA. To use it, a product must meet minimum levels of cocoa butter

and dairy and can't swap cocoa butter for vegetable fats like oil. That's why

Mr. Goodbar no longer says milk chocolate with peanuts.

It's now chocolate candy with peanuts.

Almond Joy is described as a coconut and almond chocolate candy bar as opposed to

milk chocolate with coconut and almonds.

And many varieties of Reese's are no longer covered in chocolate.

You see the king size Reese's.

Milk chocolate's no longer its compound coating?

In response, Hershey's says that it plans to return to classic milk

chocolate across its lineup by 2027.

But Brad Reese isn't convinced.

I think it's just total bunk.

The CEO said that he came to this decision last summer. If that's true,

then for months, they've knowingly allowed degraded products on shelves.

Have you noticed this change in any of your favorite treats?
