When Americans first started making chocolate the factories were a long way away from the dairy farmers, so they put butyric acid in the milk to help preserve it. Butyric acid gives vomit it's distinctive smell. The American manufacturers stuck with the recipe because it was what people were used to. Have a nice day! :)

@timaustin2000 Жыл бұрын

Wispa is an amazing bar. The aeration vastly increases surface area which means that the aerosols of heated chocolate transfer quickly to the nose, where most of your taste is based, to give a bigger, more concentrated chocolate "hit". And it works. Next to Wholenut Dairy milk, and its superior German cousin the Hazelnut Ritter Sport, Wispa is my favourite chocolate bar.
