No lies detected! (American here) - PS - to understand why Hershey chocolate tastes the way it does, check out “Hershey Chocolate WW2” in your favorite search engine. Basically, it wasn’t meant to taste very good. The recipe was meant mostly to give people some energy without the decadent “nice” chocolate taste. Some people actually liked it a lot and so Hershey kept the recipe (generally).

American industrial chocolate is flavoring and filler, some fraction of cacao, and milk solids if it is milk chocolate. I didn't know there was better chocolate until I visited Canada. There are hand crafted chocolatiers in america these days, but they are much more expensive because they are aiming to be honest chocolate - unlike Hersheys.

I read ages ago that the main issue with the majority of US confectionery is the fact they use corn starch in nearly everything instead of actual sugar like we do in Australia and is used in Europe. It leads to having to use different chemistry to make products. I found the mini Tootsie Roll lollies to be quite good. A friend bought me back a big bag of them, and I had to make sure I didn't scoff them all too quickly. Tasted a bit like the choc eclairs lollies that have choc on the outside and a soft chewy caramel inside.

The USA and Canada both use high fructose corn syrup instead of sucrose in just about everything which effects the flavor and also makes it hard on people like me in terms of digestion (I'm fructose intolerant). They even use it as a preservative in Rolled Gold pretzels... which... I mean it's just weird to have a form of sugar that functions as a preservative. Why do they do this? Well, I'm not sure if Canada actually provides the same subsidies but the USA subsidizes the production of corn that's been genetically modified to be high in fructose so that, even though the cost of producing sucrose is objectively lower than the cost of producing high fructose corn syrup, the farmers can undercut that cost by selling below their cost and still making a profit because of the subsidy. This isn't a rant about GMOs, it's the motivation, not the technology that causes the ethical problem.

Mystery flavor usually is when they're swapping batches where it mostly tastes like one flavor but has a bit of the previous flavor mixed in. It's basically trying to Prevent waste in a way kids can get excited about. As far as candy flavors go, cherry and strawberry are semi safe, but stuff like orange and watermelon usually tastes like chemical. I don't know why with orange, but I think watermelon is weird because real watermelon doesn't have much taste and candy usually wants flavor. As for Hershey's chocolate tasting like advent calendar chocolate, maybe you should compare your advent calendar to American advent calendar chocolate. Hershey's is better than advent calendar chocolate, at least here. I've heard European chocolate is more akin to American dark chocolate than American milk chocolate. Id recommend a dark chocolate Hershey's as your next Hershey's.

We call fruit preserves "jelly" in America because so many of them are packed with so much sugar and preservative chemicals that they are literally gelatinous. You don't so much spread it as roll it around on the bread until it's broken apart. That combined with cheap American bread means it takes more force to coax the jelly flat than it takes to shred the bread, so when I was a kid my sandwiches would always have holes in them and fall apart halfway through eating them. It was sooooo gross. Luckily I live in Seattle now, so there's a unionized store nearby where I can usually find jam if I'm willing to look like a crazy person inspecting jars.

It's also a different type of sugar. The American government subsidizes high fructose corn production so farmers can sell it below cost which is the only reason high fructose corn syrup costs less than sucrose which is why everything from America and most things from Canada are loaded with fructose. As a fructose intolerant person, that fact in it's self is annoying but there are multiple kinds of sweet corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup is often just listed as corn syrup in the ingredients which makes for an unpleasant trial and error process.

But they both have salty peanuts, which I love. Other than those, when I can find them, I like the 100,000 bars (don't know if they're still made), 'Goobers' which are chocolate-coated peanuts, and another old-fashioned candy bar is the 'Neopolitan Coconut Bar' which may or may not have 'rainbow' in the name, and may be marketed as 'coconut slices'. They're basically the same things, chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry-flavored candied coconut. You may like or loathe them. Most people I know loathe them, but they're one of my favorites. I grew-up with them. But yeah, our candies / sweets tend to be too sweet, and blatantly artificial. Great example, have you had a 'Cadbury Egg'? The kind with the fake yolk and white inside a chocolate shell? They used to only be available around Easter. We also have Salted Caramel filled ones, and a 'fudge' filled version too. I don't like the 'fudge' filled chocolate egg, but the other two are a nice occasional over-the-top "Dibeetus Intensifies" . . . uh, 'treat'? 'Torment'? Whatever, you get the idea. :)

"Jello... the jiggly, like, sort of dessert substance" Also an essential component of vegetable salads, if you live in the Midwest. Apparently it fits because it's green. A lurid green.

Jelly isn't like jello. Jello is it's own thing, a cold fruity gelatin dessert (we don't put jello on bread). Jelly is a smooth jam, no fruit particles, very processed. Jam is slightly less processed and contains a lot more of the fruit. And then there are preserves which is like a jam but with a much higher fruit content. And then of course we also have marmalades as well

It's funny. I'm American, and I have a *massive* sweet tooth, but I almost never buy American candy. When I do, it's always a bar of chocolate of some kind.

If the blow pop mini seems odd to you, you should try a real blow pop. Its a sucker (lolli in the UK?) with a whole piece of gum in the middle that looses flavor in like 2 seconds.

FWIW American poor people's food is designed to punish them for being poor, it's intended that it tastes like toxic waste. Stuff made for rich people tastes a lot more like Canadian or European stuff, where we don't hate the common people. Part of this is because poor people aren't supposed to be buying pre-made food as a rule (and thus should be punished accordingly), but nobody has the time/wherewithal to cook after working more than 12 hours at soul crushing work, they either pre-made stuff or they're eating stuff someone ELSE pre-made. This is also why workers were supposed to be in tightly knit family units that supported one another, if you have two adults and several children it's almost a given SOMEONE can make SOMETHING for supper, it's not normal for everyone to be busy on a given night, and a 'smart' family would plan around that/take advantage of it (my two older siblings were REALLY into music and had to stay late after school, so I would get home first and start supper, because Mum wouldn't be home for at least an hour. Nothing makes me laugh harder than poor people talking about name brand mac n cheese (expensive 'food' that has no real food value) or heavily marked up fast food as 'cheap'. This is also why people end up with scurvy and rickets, they're eating too much processed food that has no vitamins (both of those diseases are making a big comeback in North America). Jelly over in the new world means you've made something jam-like but you have zero fruit solids because you've strained it, jam is supposed to have fruit bits. Yes I've done canning, how can you tell? Gelatin based deserts are their own thing, ranging from ambrosia to straight up plain jellio. Most people think plain jello is very much a children's desert, but some people stay fond of it into adulthood, as a kid it was a lot of fun making shapes using extra thick jello.

Bit-O-Honey is an old school candy, but VERY tasty, despite an intial papery feel. And Rule #1-875: *NEVER trust candy or chips that claim to taste like complex food.* That includes taco doritos, cheeseburger flavored potato chips, and peanut butter & jelly jellybeans. Rule #876: *Don't buy "crossover" slop.* This includes anything incestuous by Frito-Lay or Yum Foods, such as Doritos Locos Tacos, chili cheese Frito Slim Jims, Dorito-flavored Lays, Fanta-flavored Mentos, any of that "processed junk flavored like other recognizable processed junk."

Germany has good chocolate too. Milka chocolate is probably the best.

The bioengineered ingredient is probably just sugar from corn (fructose) or sugar beets (sucrose).

You should try a 5th avenue. The best combination of peanut butter and chocolate.
