Jennifer, we all grew up on Hershey's. It's a good, solid cocoa, and many love it because "it tastes like home" - what we're all used to. Interesting story: when Hershey's chocolate bars were first being produced, demand soon outstripped supply; and in the course of making the bars, for awhile the milk that was used was very slightly sour, due to storage issues. Once those issues were worked out, and "fresh" milk was used, customers complained - the chocolate didn't taste like it was supposed to! So, to this day, Hershey's chocolate has a slightly acidic, "sour" note to it, in order to honor is original flavor. Interesting, huh? PJH
