Butyric acid is a byproduct of milk fermentation and component of "vomit" smell. So yes Hershey bars literally taste like sour milk/vomit

(N.b.: wine snobs are picky about different kinds of tartness and generally consider butyric acid a "bad" sour and sign of spoiled wine)

(It's also a major component of the taste of kombucha, though, which is supposed to be good/trendy, so whatever)
