I like the label on Fox's, so that's what I voted. I don't like chocolate syrup though.

You have excellent taste in labels as, in fact, Fox's contains the best chocolate syrup. Hershey's brown colored HFCS has no place on this list. Also, as it says right there on the label, Fox's is fat-free. ;)

They all contain HFCS and all are fat free.

"Fat free" chocolate means it contains no cocoa butter and therefore is not chocolate.

That's why it says "chocolate flavor" not "chocolate" on the label.

Fake-o.
None of the syrups in the poll contain cocoa butter. The others are poop-colored HFCS, hence FOx's is better.

Where? nesquik?

Hershey's Chocolate Syrup is not good, they use corn syrup. Nesquik is good, they still use sugar and the differance is pretty big.

I only ever tasted nesquik.

Anyway I don't even like the concept of chocolate syrup. Why eat some noxious shit that attempts to taste like chocolate but is not chocolate when you can eat the real thing?

I grew up on the east coast. We had Bosco. I loved Bosco. Then moved to the midwest where they had no Bosco, and had to use Hersheys. Last year, I decided it has been 25 years and I wanted to try Bosco. I searched the grocery stores, no Bosco. I went to their website and ordered two containers. It was about $20 with shipping. I tried some immediately in milk. It tasted terrible. I threw them away.

Egg cream purists and fans of the original early 20th-century formulation of U-Bet seek out the Kosher For Passover version of the syrup. In order to maintain its kosher certification from Kay Kosher Supervision during the Passover holiday, U-Bet is made before Passover with refined sugar instead of the high-fructose corn syrup sweetener base that is used the rest of the year

For use in milk, I like Ovaltine powder. I have a slight preference for the chocolate malt, but the plain malt is good too.

U-Bet uses sugar and/or corn syrup the rest of the year, not HFCS.

Last time I looked at U-Bet's ingredients label, two years ago, it contained HFCS. Otherwise Fox's U-Bet Kosher For Passover is the ultimate.

Thats because they don't use sugar anymore. First 2 things on their list now High fructose corn syrup and corn syrup.

Nesquik uses sugar and taste much better than others IMO.

F hershey!

In 2007, the Chocolate Manufacturers Association in the United States, whose members include Hershey, Nestlé, and Archer Daniels Midland, lobbied the Food and Drug Administration to change the legal definition of chocolate to let them substitute partially hydrogenated vegetable oils for cocoa butter, in addition to using artificial sweeteners and milk substitutes.


Milton Hershey is probably rolling in his grave

Chocolate FLAVOR syrup? No thanks.

I'm thinking there's no such thing as chocolate syrup.
