Hershey’s literally tastes like vomit. And I’m not being hyperbolic with the literally. It genuinely does.

It’s science:

Readers who have had the misfortune to encounter a Hershey bar will know exactly what I’m talking about. It’s wretched stuff isn’t it? If you are in possession of a sound mind and a few functioning taste buds then I don’t see how you can possibly enjoy US chocolate. It tastes like sawdust that’s been drowned in sugar and soaked with baby vomit.

It tastes like that, by the way, because that’s roughly what it is. American chocolate (I’m talking about the non-fancy stuff) has a lot more sugar and a lot less cocoa than its European counterparts. Some producers also allegedly put their milk through a process called controlled lipolysis which produces butyric acid. What’s that when it’s at home? It’s something that’s found in vomit. God knows what else Americans get up to in their chocolate factories. A lawsuit recently filed in New York alleges that Hershey, which has the licence to produce Cadbury products in the US, “fails to disclose” that some of its chocolate products “contain unsafe levels of lead and cadmium”

Must be your cache - it came down noon west coast time.

Oopsie

Or am I turning into Bizarro?

And eat baguettes with garlic on them and drink wine! Madness!

Never fear, they’ll fold at the first sign of trouble, again.

I’ve known that reports on Lemmy are faulty and Admin only reports, or more control of who receives them has been suggested but Lemmy’s devs never listen.

Yeah, the person being reported shouldn’t get the report and they currently do if they Mod the forum the post is on or Admin the instance the post is on, the reporter is on and the reportee is on. That’s open to abuse.

Naturally.

All Xitter tweets will now be called “xarts”.

10 has Liverpool, Manchester and Leeds. I reckon the only real challenge would be 13 but combining forces they could take Glasgow and then pick of any lone Highland madman.

It almost feels like cheating as we British have such a natural advantage in savoury baked goods theft.

He’d love to pose for the camera but now he is holding the police helmet he is worrying that the next copper along would assume he was taking the piss and clobber him. It’s a complex mask of conflicting impulses.

Helpful chap at the back is holding a policeman’s helmet.

Ardent Brexiteer and hard-of-thinking. Whodathunkit?

I had an issue where my aged auntie was signed up to a big Virgin package (she only needed TV and phones) without her asking - first thing she knew was the home installation kit arrived, something she’d never order without checking with family tech support (me). When I rang them, they were good about fixing it and pretty much admitted that someone at the call centre had done it to get a bonus. Then it happened a second time, so I was back on the phone to them. They let me keep the home installation box the second time and drill make use of that very long Ethernet cable.

So the big companies can pull a fast one too. Be vigilant.

We should find him and tell him!

That’s a very confident use of “of course”.

Gang green?
