It's the butyric acid that comes out of the Hershey chocolate process that gives it the sour/vomit taste. European chocolate uses a different process with their milk powder - I think the story goes that back in the day, Hershey couldn't get the European process to work, but could if the milk spoiled a little.

As a result, the Hershey flavor is widely recognized in the United States, the Philippines, and to a minor extent in Canada, where British-produced chocolates were commonly sold, but less so internationally, especially in areas where European chocolates are more widely available.
Shade noted but well deserved

Mounds is a candy bar made by The Hershey Company, consisting of shredded, sweetened coconut coated in dark chocolate. The company also produces the Almond Joy, a similar bar topped by whole almonds and covered in milk chocolate.

Emergency services are at Chester Market after reports of customers being affected by fumes. This was due to the cooking of a large amount of chillies and there are no wider public health concerns.The market has been evacuated but we are working to get it back to normal asap. pic.twitter.com/t07a2vcRZ9— Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service (@CheshireFire) January 27, 2024

^this exact thing happened years ago near where I used to work in Soho/London, a Thai restaurant was cooking up its chili sauce in bulk and people started reporting some sort of chemical leak.
Police arrived en-masse, cordoned off the area, and smashed doors down. It was a proper scenario, and iirc it was only a couple of years after 7/7, I guess they were still on high alert.

do chillies even have an aroma? I couldn't identify it in the way I could tell if someone is cooking with cumin or garlic.

I know they do have an aroma but idk what it is! anything I cook with chillies is either overpowered by garlic, ginger or cumin

if you vaporise enough dried chillis in a wok I can confirm that it makes a spicy smoke that catches in your throat and makes you cough, generally means something delicious is on its way.

There is an XL Bully owner up the road from me. There is a sign on the rickety gate that reads something like they have no responsibility for anyone who gets seriously injured or killed by their dog. I don't trust the gate to contain this beast, every time there has been strong winds another plank comes off it. And then my dumbass dog makes it a more fraught situation by barking at this beast.

Loving that these brain donor programme participants think a shitty little warning sign absolves them of responsibility for their dogs. Any prosecutor would say ‘so you knew your dogs were potentially violent?’

My uncle had a rottweiler called Bear when I was a kid. He was a bit of a nutter. The uncle I mean. The dog did jump at me once which was pretty scary given it was probably bigger than I was but somehow I avoided getting a dog phobia

I got attacked by a huge German Shepherd at a farm in Kerry when I was a kid and despite it being a short one-two snaps attack I was bleeding a lot and had bite scars on my belly and hand for years afterwards, but I've never had a dog phobia over it, but you do need to exercise legitimate caution with some dogs. With this being the 70's nobody suggested I should have a tetnus booster - ah.. it'll be reet with a bit of germolene.

I too got a German shepherd bite as a small child, but when I was taken to Emergency to get stitches, the doctors found weird swelling near my spleen while looking for possible inflammation and it turned out to be kidney cancer. The dog belonged to our neighbour and was not put down.

I love German Shepherds and I think in a way that story enhances their rep as innately good creatures. Some dogs just don't like kids or get nervous around them - which is understandable tbf

This morning I was waiting for a connecting bus in the centre of Cambridge, it was about 10 minutes late, and the queue was now snaking past the other bus stops. A group of five men started a new queue next to ours, so I was stressing a bit about that when the bus finally arrived. Somewhere behind me I heard a Spanish woman telling off two teenage boys for dropping litter, their response was "It's too early for this shit" then "why don't you go back where you come from?" - wish I had intervened but was distracted by the fact that the woman in front of me had just let the five men go in front of her without a word. As I got on the bus the teenagers were discussing whether "Why don't you go back where you come from?" was racist (their conclusion was "no" and "it's too early for this shit") then the packed bus was held up for a further five minutes behind a bin lorry, and as I stood there stressing about missing my train I thought "yes, this is the real England experience, just need some miserable pissy rain to seal the deal" so thanks ILX.
