We can agree.

Real chocolate, properly made is expensive, so Mr Hershey made American chocolate affordable.

It's a shame he couldn't have made it still be chocolate.

American cheese is like American chocolate.

Fake.

You've obviously never had Point Reyes Blue (or any of their cheeses)

But I agree with your point that most of their standard, off the shelf cheeses are gash.

I realise there is a "craft beer" type renaissance in American cheese making, and a bloody good thing too.

Was it Kraft that tried to totally wipe out British cheese making during the war?
I'm sure I heard a story along those lines.
Damn near managed it too.

American chocolate tastes like sick. I don’t mean it’s just minging, it literally tastes like spew.

I wonder what makes it brown, I’m pretty sure it’s not cocoa.

I think the cheap American milk chocolate comes from cows that get injected with bovine growth hormone to increase milk production .

Probably, but it was made deliberately disgusting to be cheap.
It happens here too but not quite as disgusting as American chocolate.
I remember one of the staff coming back from a holiday at disney with a big box of chocolates for the girls.

Australian chocolate is as bad. When I was there I could count the number of bars of chocolate at in 2 years on one hand. Even the brands and varieties we get here were rubbish. Just gross.

I always thought it was some sort of anti melting agent they put in it, but that could be boll*cks.
