    Is the US, KitKat is made by Hershey, so not sure if the Nestle version sold in Europe is any better. The US version just tastes like “number going up”. That’s the best description for how a lot of American food tastes. It’s so sweet that it makes my throat and tongue go numb, which mostly drowns out the chemical aftertaste, but not quite.

      No time like the present to take a swipe at a “lot of American food” eh?

      No, a “lot” of our food doesn’t taste like barf. Just cheap chocolate, of which we do have far too much.

        If they calm down at some point I want to go over and find out for myself. Im subjected to a lot of product placement thanks to American TV and Hollywood being so prevalent, but every time I find that product here in the UK it tastes like shit.

        I don’t know if the recipes have changed to work around differing regulations, or if it really does suck and US standards are just lower, or if only that stuff sucks thanks to decades of enshittification and theyre coasting on brand recognition or some 5th or 9th thing I cant be bothered typing.
