OTOH Hersheys chocolate syrup made in India (by Godrej) tastes better than the imported US version. Don't know why, iirc the main difference in ingredients was invert sugar in the Indian version and hfcs in the US version, or maybe it's the quality of the other ingredients.

One Christmas we had some Hershey's Kisses from both the US and Canada. Both tasted different. It's been a while, so I don't remember which I preferred or what the taste difference was (i.e. if one was sweeter than the other).

Neither of these are surprising. Hershey's makes very low quality products, so I would expect them to use whatever ingredients are cheapest locally.
