Also once again, Americans have the best candy varieties. I remember shopping at Target last year and they had a mix of chocolate bars that were all peanut butter based and another one was all caramel based.

'Candy variety' and you're not following up with 'Japan'? 😂

[my_moloko]

lol Japan always has a bunch of flavours I'm not interested in. Honestly my main interest in American candy is the amount of peanut butter chocolate bars they have. Like yes please give me a peanut butter Twix.

same. i always eat way less candy in japan because the chocolate (outside of the koalas lmao) just does not jive with me. I also hate sour shit and that's what half the selection is lol.

on the flip side when i do find something i like it's not outrageously sweet like candy here in 'murica. it's always a shock to my system when i move back and get a freakin' hershey bar, lol.

Have you had the peanut butter kitkat chunky yet?

At least Kinder Eggs aren't banned where you are. My country is full of dumbasses.

[my_moloko]

lol fair. And right now you couldn't pay me to go to the US. But you aren't missing anything with the Kinder eggs, they are terrible plastic-y chocolate.

[madrigalpals]

I think you're overestimating the quality of American chocolate :(

[my_moloko]

lol true. I also generally prefer dark chocolate but I'll be damned if I don't enjoy a good Kit Kat from time to time. Although actually they make those in dark chocolate too.

the only american candy i'm jealous of are red vines

[my_moloko]

I've never had them but I would love to try them.
