Swede here.
Some American candy, mostly bad chocolate
I tried American chocolate once. It tasted like vomit aftertaste.
Never again.
american chocolate is just milk sugar mostly, i would like at the total cacao concentration, anything less than 70% is nasty asf, most american ones are under 40%. i heard the hersey ones they use some kind of chemical in it to make it taste the way it is. White chocolate american is the most chemically tasting and smelling of them all.
Hersheys “chocolate”. I spit it out, and a bit embarrassed, asked “could it gone bad during the flight?”
Well, obviously this stuff does taste like vomit, and Americans seem to be OK with that. Explains a lot about American behavior. If chocolate here would taste like that, we probably would have more mass shootings, too.
Hersheys used to be our only choice. However now that we have better choices, many of us are waking up to chocolate as a good thing (other than the sugar rush). It can be hard to get over the price and quantity difference though.
Luckily, we are spoiled for choice here. German, Swiss, Belgian, English chocolate all around. And no Hersheys anywhere.
the good ones are pretty expensive, and most people dont buy them, they have imported bougies ones sold by WF.
I’m allergic the something they put in mass produced milk chocolate over here I think. Idk what it is, I’ve no allergies I know of. But if I have a Hershey Kiss, my throat burns a little after, feels painful.
This doesnt happen when I have good dark chocolate, it’s only the garbage mass produced chocolate. US chocolate wasn’t always this shitty, but it sure as fuck is now. I doubt there is much actual cocoa in it these days
I tried Hershey’s (American chocolate) before and it tasted absolutely disgusting. it will never ever come remotely close to Dairy Milk or Galaxy
The cheap no name “chocolates” that taste like eating oil solids disguised as chocolate
Twizzlers.
I tried them in the US and it just felt like I was chewing on a piece of plastic.
On the other hand, unlike most of the people in the comments, I love licorice.
Twizzlers feel like some shitty capitalist found a way to turn some industrial waste byproduct edible enough to feed to kids
Yeah, what’s up with twizzlers? They look okay, I’ve read that they should taste really nice and… well, it’s chewable plastic with zero taste
Yeah, I’m not a fan of those. I’m fine with licorice.
Delicious, delicious carnauba wax…
NECO wafers. Like cardboard they taste
Okay so during halloween, there are these weird eyeball gummies that are not only unsettling to look at, but they also taste like sugary plastic. It’s by far the worst tasting candy I’ve ever experienced, including low quality black licorice and some weird wood bark candy.
Can’t stand corn fructose and palm sugar based snacks. Terrible everything - engironmental impact, texture, health impact, flavor. It’s just the cheapest possible option that ruins everything it touches.
I tried some matcha mochi once. It didn’t really taste good, but the worst thing about it was that it was just boring.
Licorice. Anise flavored candy. It’s disgusting.
American candy. Not American brand candy which different outside the US, but actuall American candy. It’s all so bad quality and vile that it would never sell outside the US and not even be legal to do so in many places.
In my schoolboy days American teachers would bring candy from USA and the kids would absolutely devour it. Things like fruit gushers and sour warheads were absolute crack to primary school kids compared to the domestically available choices.
I went to America once and tried an American coke. It left this weird film in my mouth. I don’t understand how they drink it.
Put cheap “rum” in it.
Hands down absolutely nothing worse than peeps. They somehow manage to make twizzlers taste like ultra gourmet candy.
I’m curious, do you like marshmallows?
I like peeps, but also love marshmallows
Plain marshmallows on their own are fine.
The Harry Potter bean things which has awful flavors mixed in, like puke etc.
I haven’t actually tried this but my friend did.
Peeps. I’ve never like marshmallow anything, really, and definitely not those abominations. Most cinnamon-flavored things. Edit: forgot one: chocolate-covered cherries. I don’t know why. I have a cherry tree and will eat the cherries off it and don’t even mind most artificially-cheery-flavored things. I also eat other fruits covered in chocolate (even durian).
The churro peeps were tasty!
(I actually like peeps, marshmallows, and cinnamon though lol)
