When I was a kid, my family went to go visit some extended family in rural southern France. It was going to be over Halloween, and since the French don’t celebrate it, we brought some American Halloween candy for them to try. To our surprise, they loved it, especially the Reese’s cups. We had expected them to find it gross, since they had much higher quality chocolate in Europe.
Woah Woah Woah. I’m Canadian and peanut butter and chocolate is also a thing here. Peanut butter may be my favourite thing. Why am I catching strays?
I don’t like this food.
Ok, there’s lots of stuff I don’t like. Why not grab a Snickers?
It’s an abomination!
Whoa there, it’s just a Reese’s cup…
phillistine depravity!!
Look, that’s excessive, isn’t it? And there’s only one L in phi-
AMERICA BAD!!!
Calm down, psycho! Holy shit touch grass!
I just ate some choco coated peanuts. Here, have a choco peanut cookie.
Peanut butter is an abomination and against the scriptures and an insult to God. Change my atheist mind.
A gazillion years ago I was in a shop that had an american aisle, so I bought some some american chocolate that had peanut butter in it. Reese’s, I think?
Anyways it tasted slightly like chalky chocolate vomit with peanut butter on it.
I thought I’d got a bad batch so the next time I saw some I got something from Hershey’s. Again, chocolate vomit.
Never had any of that shit since.Cadbury’s in the UK have been adding extra things to their chocolate bars for years now. My cynical brain tells me it’s to mask the fact that they’ve changed things and lowered the quality of their products.
When did this happen? A few years after it was sold to Kraft, an american ‘food’ company…American regular grocery store brands of chocolate are horrible. Hershey’s and all the rest. Of course it’s the cheapest ingredients drowned in sugar to cover the otherwise poor taste. Cadbury’s now tastes waxy to me. Used to be pretty good. All in the name of profit.
Aldi in the US actually has really decent chocolate, their Choceur label for milk chocolate is quite good. Good luck finding it, I think the tariffs killed the availability, haven’t seen any for weeks.
The common explanation is that Hershey’s chocolate contains some amount of butyric acid which tastes/smells like vomit. Adam Ragusea on YT did a pretty solid video on it.
Why Hershey bars taste like vomit (and I love them)
Not all US chocolate tastes like Hershey.
I thik a lot of the US stuff are things you have to grow with. If you taste them once you’re an adult, you see them for what they are and they’ll never work for you. Hershey and Oreo being the obvious examples for me.
Whoever wrote this is wrong and they know it.
Chocolate and jelly sandwiches are much better than peanut butter and jelly sandwiches though. Fight me.
I do partake but it’s not for the faint of heart.
The same idiots that say this are the ones who think Nutella is some transcendental ambrosia even though it’s more palm oil than either hazelnuts or cocoa.
Nutella mixed with the cheapest American peanut butter is heaven. Thank you globalisation.
Hang on a minute, baby, someone is wrong on the internet.
Same types of people think pineapple don’t belong on pizza. Fucked in the head is what I call em.
Peanut and choc you said?
There are virtually infinite things to shit on us Americans for, and most of them deservedly so. But this one ain’t it.
Give me peanut butter and chocolate or give me death.
I’m pretty sure it is ragebait written by an American. Non-Americans don’t really care about this at all.
I was going to comment exactly this, except I’m not American
gives you peanut butter and chocolate
That being said, this regeme might still give you death if you happen to be too brown.
peanut butter brown
or
chocolate brown
?Peanut butter brown is an African American with jaundice. So yeah - still too brown for current administration
and banana!
Isn’t that the same? If you’re eating peanut butter and chocolate together frequently, you’re probably not long for this world…
I’ll make it even better! Chocolate, peanut butter, and a sprinkle of salt
Sub the salt for a thick piece of crispy bacon. Thank me later.
To whom it may concern:
Please be advised that your meme will be slathered with creamy peanut butter and drizzled with melted chocolate. Afterwards, you may immediately go and pound sand.
Should you decide to spread this misinformation further, we will be forced to place a bounty on you. When you are captured, you will be taken to Hershey Park and doused with Hershey’s chocolate syrup in front of many peanut butter & chocolate lovers.
For good measure, the public will be armed with crunchy peanut butter balls dipped in milk chocolate if you attempt to escape (dark chocolate covered peanut butter balls sold separately).

The Reese’s Foundation
Barbarism! Coating the villain in Hershey’s. You are an animal, not fit to live among civilized men!
Maybe some dark chocolate?
Dark chocolate sold separately, my friend.
Tar and feather then, but use chocolate sauce and roasted peanuts!
This and avoiding taxes are the reasons why your tea is in the harbor
Mostly the taxes thing, but this didn’t help
