Hershey's and other big US chocolate makers use butyric acid as a mild sweetener in their chocolate. For those of use who grew up with chocolate made with butyric acid, this doesn't mean much. Most of the non-US world has not habituated the taste of butyric acid in chocolate and therefore naturally associates it with the one thing almost everyone has tasted containing it: vomit. I suggest not having her try common grocery store chocolates for this reason.
