I can go with the American public rejecting "new Hershey's - now with non-rancid dairy ingredients!" just like they did with New Coke in the states.
Another reason might be manufacturing variations - I can quite believe Hershey's having a manufacturing spec for their milk stream that has an acceptable range of acidity which would actually range from Fresh to Utterly Vile in human taste terms, but they can get away with it in the finished product. Blend it all together in a big vat and the manufacturing variations go away.
We have a saying in these parts, which goes something like "are you running a chemical plant or a fucking biscuit factory?" You have been warned.
