It's for the best. You're just going to complain about it since you have better chocolate.

>>6814481
Stop exaggerating

Euro here, anything made by Reeses is disgusting and I hope they go out of business.

>>6814807
Reeses is not a company

>>6814812
You got me. But still those peanutbutter cups were vile, what is actually something good I could try instead of this mess?

>>6814818
What do you mean?

>>6814807
>>6814818
Euro here, too.
While I don't like Reese's peanut butter cups or pieces myself, I currently live in the US and several cousins who have come to visit me here have tried and like them, particularly Reese's Pieces.
One cousin asks me to send her a sack of her "vitamins" (Reese's Pieces) every couple of years.

>>6814481
Our mass-produced chocolates are better than American mass-produced chocolates but artisinal chocolates from either side of the pond are about as good as those from the other, with some USican-made artisinal chocolates beating ours by a hair.

>>6814699
It is in no way an exaggeration. Your mass-produced sweets in general, not just chocolate, aren't very good. You guys shine with salty foods. American crisps/chips are way better than ours, with the exception that you lack pea-flavoured crisps as well as bell-pepper-flavoured ones, too. Those are my two absolute favourites.

A euro saying something nice about American chocolate? I guess I can retire from 4chan now, I've seen everything

Britfag here, tried amerifat candy for the first time last week. Here's the verdict -

>God Tier: Butterfingers
>Good Tier: Reese's Peanut butter cups
>Meh Tier: Baby Ruth
>Shit Tier: Regular Hershey bar (only chocolate i've ever spat on in disgust, was like literal solidified vomit)

>>6814916
Do you like Galaxy chocolate?

>>6814923
Yes, only a bit at a time though because it's so rich. I like to put a piece in my mouth and just let it melt.

>>6814925
Your eating American chocolate

>all this peanut butter shit candy

disgusting

>>6814885
Well, there's one sweets company in Ohio that makes delicious gummi bears and Jelly Belly is fantastic, but generally, your gummi/jelly sweets are pretty awful.
Here's a list of all non-chocolate sweets I've tried here and didn't like:
Airheads, saltwater taffy, candy corn, Charleston Chew, Cherry Bombs. Chuckles, Cow Tales, Cry Babies/Warheads, , Lemonheads, American licorice, Hot Tamales, Atomic Fireballs, Good And Plenty, Mary Janes, Root Beer Barrels, Jujubes/Jujyfruits, Mike and Ike, Peeps, Laffy Taffy, Cream Savers, butterscotch (though I like the butterscotch-flavoured instant puffing mix), candy buttons, Necco wafers, Nik L Nips, NIPS, Peanut Chews, Pez, Pixy Stix, Pop Rocks, Razzles, buttermints/after-dinner mints/starlight mints, Ring Pop, Sour Patch/Sour Patch Kids, Tootsies/Tootsie Rolls/Tootsie Pop, Push Pop, and Twizzlers/Red Vines.

Ones I've liked: Blow Pop, Dubble Bubble, jawbreakers, Runts, Bit O Honey, Jolly Rancher, Life Savers, Gummi Savers, Nerds, Sweetarts/Smarties, Skittles, Dum Dums and Starburst.

>>6814967
You literally tried sweet that are only handed out on Halloween. No one actually goes out of their way to buy anything you have eaten accept the saltwater taffy and airheads

>>6814891
Whale biologist IE I calls'em like I sees'em.

There's nothing wrong with telling the truth. Some stuff you guys do very well, like salty snack foods. Other stuff you do abysmally, like sweets and soda in general. Some stuff you do badly as a mass-produced food but do fantastically as an artisinal one, such as chocolates and beer.

>>6813350
Just go to your corner store and buy some M&Ms.
Most American candy is just chocolate covered something.

>>6814974
Also our popular sweets like snickers, milky ways, and 3 musketeers, are the most popular and are branded in Europe under different names .

>>6814974
Yeah? What sweets do Americans eat year round? And why, if what you say is the case, do these items get stocked and restocked throughout the year? Clearly /someone/ is buying them for them to keep shelf-space year round.

>>6814928
I feel like you feel like you made a point that you didn't make there

>>6814981
I listed specifically non-chocolate sweets because I haven't liked a single American mass-produced chocolate I've tried and I didn't want to be uncivil.
If you'd like, I can list those, too.

And those chocolates aren't available in my country at all. They're available in the UK and Ireland, though.

>>6814987
M&Ms are literally the most popular American candy.
They melt in your mouth and not in your hand!

>>6814987
>Clearly /someone/ is buying them for them to keep shelf-space year round.

Just like cheese whiz there just there and what we eat is sour patches, skittles, star bursts, milky way, 3 musketeers, snickers, butter fingers, reeses, and M&Ms

>>6814994
Where are you from?

>>6814996
see >>6814994, but I'm afraid I don't like M&Ms, anyway. There's something off about your mass-produced chocolate. I can't explain it. Even Godiva tastes off to me.

>>6814967
The only one I'd even disagree with is Pop Rocks and sour patch kids.
I don't know why but Germany seems to make my favorite gummies. I could eat the haribo coke bottles and trolli sour octopi forever mang. I used to really like the nerds rope too but I don't even think they make that shit anymore.

>>6815009
Godiva isn't American

>>6813312

Motherfucker, Butterfingers are not "candy that no one eats."

>>6815012
How the fuck did I typo that hard?! I meant Ghirardelli, sorry.

>>6815011
Germany, Italy and Switzerland make the second best gummi/jelly sweets. America makes the best. Nothing will ever be better than Jelly Belly. Ever.

>>6815004
Italy/Switzerland.

>>6814996
>gum
>candy
When did that happen?

>>6815023
I guess its just a matter of taste

>>6815023
Strike that: third best. Jelly Belly and Kasugai are tied at number 1 for best gummi/jelly sweet.

>>6815023
>>6815032
>jelly beans
Man, I fucking hate em. I don't know if it's cause when I was a kid I found some "Harry Potter" beans that were literally supposed to taste like things like grass and dirt, but I just can't stand them at all. Also later I tried them again and ate one that tasted like "popcorn" and wanted to fucking die. Kasugai is alright I guess.

>>6815029
Yeah.
But hey: as low as my opinion is of American sweets in general, Jelly Bellies are still my favourites of all time.
And as I've said already, your salty junkfoods are motherfucking glorious. Pic related and the the ones in the yellow sack (I think it's supposed to be mustard, but they taste mildly of caraway to me, and I love caraway) are great.

>>6815042
Yeah, the yellow ones are Honey Mustard and Onion. And they are the best thing in the world.

U S A, U S A, U S A

>>6815039
See >>6815029 because the popcorn ones are my absolute most favourite of all. I go through two-to-four pounds of Jelly Belly each year, buying the big two pound sacks from Ross or Marshall's or wherever whenever I find them.
>sounds like a lot, but when you think about it, it's less than 5g of sweets daily
I grab a handful of them about once a week or so and put any popcorn ones aside, saving the best for last.

I love them.

>>6814978
Oh no, I accept our chocolate is shit. Europeans I've met IRL act like all American chocolate is made from depleted uranium, even the high end stuff. I argued with a Dutch guy in a bar in Shanghai for almost an hour about it once

>>6815061
They act like that because, lamentably, the only American chocolate easily available anywhere, even in America, is the mass-produced shit. That stuff is 2/10 (Hershey's) - 5/10 (Mars/Ghirardelli).

Your artisinal chocolates, however, range from shitniggerwhatareyoudoing/10 (some shitty mint chocolate from Brooklyn or Philadelphia I tried made from "local mint" that tasted like a vaguely chocolaty vacant car park after it's rained, the sort with greenery growing between the cracks in the footpath) to 11/10 (some bean-to-bar chocolate from DC; IIRC, it's just one guy doing it all himself).

>>6815088
If you want to get mass produced chocolate made by independent places just get theo, endangered species, equal exchange, or Dagoba. They basically in every store that is a chain and you might find them in the health sections

>>6815107
Is Divine American or British? Because whichever it is, it's my go-to chocolate here in the US. Either that or some of the ones Aldi sells.

>>6815120
British

>>6814807
Woah. it blows my
Mind you don't like Reese's cups.

>>6814916
Foreigners always seem to like butterfingers a lot. I mean, I agree, they're pretty good, but it's a weird trend I've noticed.

Here is the europoor evaluation method of American food and drink:

>Americans have shitty pisswater for beer!
As they compare a premium level beer to Budweiser, and not something equally shitty like HB or Carling
>American food is such fattening trash!
As they compare McDonalds to a fine dining restaurant or home cooked family meal, instead of comparing a high end US restaurant to a high end europeon restaurant.

>>6815206
This is true

>>6815206
But cherry picking is the basis of almost all flame wars on the Internet. This isn't exclusive to american v yuro foods.

>>6815206
It's the only way they can compete.

>>6815206
They mostly compare their brew pub beers to Budweiser and even if we do have good mass produce beer the micro meme gets brought up

>>6813312

I just remember the intense pleasure of biting in to it, such an amazing texture and flavour. The closest we have is called a Crunchie, and it's shit tier in comparison.

>>6815206

Literally had some German family come over for my brothers wedding. Don't get me wrong, Europe has incredible cuisines, but this couple has been staunchly anti-American everything as long as I've known them. So i think to myself, yeah okay Germany has some great beers. They come over, what do they drink? They drink fucking Blue Moon the whole time they're are here and laud it and say how wrong they were about American beers. Blue. Fucking. Moon. Brewed by Coors. The shittiest of the shitty "non-mainstream" they seem to find delectable.

>trying out foreign food

The difference between American food and foreign food is that if you go to a bad American restaurant , the food is still edible. If you go to a bad foreign restaurant, the food is garbage.

>>6813312

Why do you give a shit?

Everyone knows Europeans have a massive inferiority complex regarding Americans so they feel the need to bash everything we do.

Why do you even acknowledge the shit they do? It's on the same tier as feminism and #blacklivesmatter.

Keep up the good fight, you are the people's champion!

>>6815690
But the thing is, they're right and you know it. Their food standards trump our if you excuse the pun.

Hersheys puts soured milk in their chocolate so it tastes like vomit on purpose for gods sake.

>>6815717
Its butyric acid, its found in ALL DAIRY.
>milk chocolate
>dairy

The process is a trade secret, but experts speculate that the milk is partially lipolyzed, producing butyric acid, which stabilizes the milk from further fermentation. This compound gives the product a particular sour, "tangy" taste, to which the US public has become accustomed, to the point that other manufacturers often add butyric acid to their milk chocolates.

>>6815717
Look as this glorious face and know you that disappoint him.

>>6814916
You have great taste, anon. You should've tried Twix, it's the one chocolate candy I put above Butterfinger.

>>6815725
I don't know if they all do that because chocolate from Mars doesn't taste as disgusting as Hersheys. In any case, they should stop doing that because we have refrigerators now and I think that process was to keep the chocolate from melting at room temp or something.

>>6815200
>>6815676
>>6815409
Every time I've ever gotten a butterfinger, it was broken already in the package. Is that just me, or does that happen to everyone?

>>6816172
That's just you.

>>6814967
I'm a yuro living in the US too and these and a lot of other trolli stuff like the pink rocks is great

>>6816172
Its a conspiracy, they are doing it to you on purpose. Butterfingers are rated to survive hurricanes.

>>6814916
Man, I like butterfingers but I'm picking that shit out of my teeth for 20 minutes after so I just stick with Reeses.

>>6815690
>disregard all criticism, stay smug
it's almost like you dont want anyone to care about you

>>6814807
reeses will never go out of business. semi popular, tasty

>>6814980
This. It's almost all "Hershey's chocolate over X." 'X' in this case can be:

peanuts
caramel
toffee
mint chips
peanut butter (soft)
peanut butter (hard/brittle)
nougat
"cookie dough"
different chocolate
small pieces of fruit
coated in a candy shell
Any of the above in combination

>>6814928

Chocolate originating in Britain, created for the British market.

>b-but it's owned by Mars!

>>6814925

>>6815725
>Its butyric acid, its found in ALL DAIRY.

It is found in small amounts naturally; there is far more of it in Hershey's Vomit Wax, which is why it smells and tastes quite literally of vomit.

I've sent candy from the Staes and Canada before to the gf, customs have never been a problem.

>>6816809
Nice try.

It doesn't matter if it was made for a British market, it's proof that America more than has the ability to produce such chocolate. There are no secrets left in chocolate making. It's now about what our consumers are used to being marketed and product availability.

I live near chicago and you can get fine chocolate at any corner store. You want even finer chocolate? Look online and you can have some shipped to you the next day for cheap since it's so near. I imagine it's the same in every major city.

America is fuck huge and there are people starting and closing businesses every day. People take their craft seriously or they market cheap shit so well that they succeed anyway.

Get a wider perspective.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_(chocolate)
>first manufactured in the United Kingdom in 1960

Dove was a little ice cream company that only sold in Chicago until 1985. Mars bought out them and Galaxy in 1986 and later used the Dove name to launch Galaxy in the US.

>>6818230
>Mars bought out them and Galaxy in 1986 and later used the Dove name to launch Galaxy in the US.
>later used the Dove name to launch Galaxy in the US.

No

>>6818230
"Dove (sold as Galaxy in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, India, Indonesia, Ireland and the Middle East) is a brand of chocolate made and marketed by the Mars company"

>>6818240
"The name comes from Dove CANDIES & Ice Cream, which were Chicago sweet shops"

>>6818230
Looks like that fag doesn't know its history. Dove started in the 1930s.

>>6818259
You can barely find any information about Galaxy and it says on the wiki page is that it was started in the 60s

>>6818263
It was a typo. >>6817776. Dove was started in the 1950s as a sweets shop. It was their candy bar.

http://www.dovechocolate.com/aboutDove

>>6818240
>>6818243

None of that contradicts the fact that Mars bought the British brand Galaxy and used the name of some little US ice cream company they'd bought out to market it in the US. It's not that hard to understand.

Of course if you STILL disagree you've got the whole internet out there to find a dove chocolate wrapper or advert or basically anything to prove that dove chocolate was around before 1991.

>>6814807
They're pretty shit quality for shit/lazy people and bulk for parties and Halloween and stuff like that.

Do you like mars bars, milky ways, snickers?

>>6820387

And today it's manufactured by an American company.

>>6820431
"The Milky Way bar was created in 1923 by Frank C. Mars and originally manufactured in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The name and taste were taken from a famed malted milk drink (milkshake) of the day – not the Earth’s galaxy, as many contend."

>>6820425
guilty as charged, I also like boosts
I can't think of anything other than bounties and cherry ripes that have coconut in them though?

>>6820431
"In 1932, Forrest Mars, son of American candy maker Frank C. Mars, rented a factory in Slough and with a staff of twelve people, began manufacturing a chocolate bar consisting of nougat and caramel covered in milk chocolate, modelled after his father's Milky Way bar, which was already popular in the US.[1] Today the basic recipe is unaltered but the size of the bar and the proportions of the main components have changed over the years. With minor variations, this version is sold worldwide, except for the US, and is packaged in a black wrapper with red lettering."

I know anon you tried

>>6820437
"Mars (also Mars bar) is a chocolate bar manufactured by American chocolate company Mars, Incorporated."

Mars bar made by American, used the same recipe as the a orginal American chocolate bar made in 1923, and is made by an American company. It hurts anon

The fact that America has supermarket sushi (even out in the larger towns in semi-rural areas) at all is evidence that it has become fully integrated into the American culinary landscape. You're less likely to find an American who has never eaten sushi than one who has eaten it at this point.

American food culture is basically the borg.

They weren't good to begin with but the company that originally produced them went out of business a few years ago
And now they're worse.

>It's kind of the same principle with those "X people try American Snacks" videos. They feed them crap like Warheads and Poptarts like it's stuff Americans eat as "snacks" on a regular basis.

They also feed them Salt and Vinegar chips every time. Which is the single greatest American snack food.

And the people eating them are appalled every time.

>with some USican-made artisinal chocolates beating ours by a hair.
Thank you for admitting this. Ive had small batch, hand made chocolates from the U.S. and from Europe and Europe's were good, but U.S.'s was mind blowingly superior to anything else ive ever tried.

What's new. You also believe circumcised dicks are better just to cope with the fact mom and dad cut yours.

>>6820434
mars and milky way don't taste the same.

>>6820629
Their the same thing

>>6820625
Why bring of cutting of the foreskin? What with everyone on 4chan being obsessed with other people's penises

They're pretty fucking delightful, actually.
And! I found pea snacks at Aldi yesterday here in America. I bought a sack. It's... not as good. These were undersalted pea-flour and rice-flour puffs, just cheese puffs, just pea/rice instead of corn-based. Once I salted them myself at home, they were not bad.

And I'm pretty sure bell pepper is the most popular flavour in all of Europe. You can get them from Spain to Russia (and I've gotten packets of bell pepper crisps in many countries between the two).

If ever you get the chance to, give either a try.

>>6820466
Ha! I'm Euro and I fucking /love/ salt and vinegar ones. In my country, we don't have them. All we have are cheese, cheese and onion, cheese and pepper, salt/plain, salt and pepper, bell pepper, peas, rosemary, spicy (they're not actually that spicy) and that's it. In the next country over, they have a lot more American-style flavours, such as sour cream and onion, "Texas" barbecue and "Chinese" five-spice barbecue.

>>6820405
Only the Germanic-speaking countries, less Switzerland, Luxembourg and Lichtenstein. You'd be hard-pressed to find American sweets, other than Coca Cola, in any of those.

We don't dislike Hershey's the company. We dislike Hershey's the company's chocolate. Or, rather, their milk chocolate. Their dark chocolate is inexplicably okay. I think the reason there's such a huge renaissance in the US for Americans loving dark chocolate and scoffing at people who don't is directly caused by the abysmally horrible quality of the milk chocolate here, particularly Hershey's chocolate.
Anyway, Hershey's dark chocolate is cheap and my go-to for making drinking chocolate in the colder months. I put it into my rotary grater, run it through and mix it into a simmering 1:1 mix of half-and-half and whole milk (so quarter-and-three-quarters? 1:1:2 cream:milk:milk = 1:3 cream:milk, no?). I use it in the warmer months, too, to make chocolate ice cream.

>>6820732

Shut the fuck up

No.

Bruh please stay, you were God in the tipping thread.

>>6820732
Our milk chocolate all tastes that way because that's what most consumers here like. It has to do with the early dominance of the Hershey company in the American chocolate market. The other companies that produce milk chocolate purposefully imitate the taste produced by the Hershey process. As people have pointed out up thread, when American companies produce chocolate for foreign markets Europeans don't find those objectionable.

Food preference isn't objective, and a lot of it comes from expectation and familiarity. American milk chocolate tastes the way it does because it doesn't sell as well when they try something different, that's all.

You honestly don't even know what your talking about

How are we meant to know nobody eats it?
surely if they're pushing a market expansion into Europe they must be at least somewhat popular

>>6820913
No one is pushing for an expansion of milk duds and good and plent in Europe

>>6820905
hard rock's not even strictly american. They're like the Mcdonalds of bars in that they can be found globally

I went to an "american candy store" a while back. Not gonna tell which country or city.
Had a bunch of overpriced stuff, many of which I would have liked to try. I bought some cherry twizzlers, combo's and some of cheetos(but another brand can't remember).

The twizzlers smelled really delicious but didn't taste anything. But the snacks were really good.

>>6821077
It's true, twizzlers taste like nothing. I have no idea how they keep those damn things on the market. They're not even all that sweet.

I think twizzlers are what boredom tastes like.

>>6820466
Salt and Vinegar chips are more of an acquired taste, I feel. I'm not a huge fan of them, but everyone I know who does like them, REALLY likes them. I'd choose something with a less abrasive taste for someone's first experience with something.

>>6821077
They really don't taste like anything at all. Like a chewy, waxy substance that smells vaguely like cherries. I don't really know anyone who likes them genuinely. Those who claim to actually like licorice swear by Red Vines over Twizzlers, but there's really no difference imo.

>>6820466

I always thought Salt and Vinegar crisps were British

They go hand in hand with Pickled Onion flavour

>talking to the Dutch like theyre people

>americans getting insecure upon hearing they're not the best in the world at something

another day

>>6821305
Technically they're Irish, and are possibly one of the first three flavors of potato chips ever made. But they're pretty common in the US, and when people do those American food videos they usually choose to include them because they're strongly flavored and thus can produce an interesting reaction. Especially from Asians.

>>6821390
What your saying is not true though

At least I'm not a fat racist American!
