I've had some incredibly good American chocolate. But if you're eating Hershey's, you're not looking for that, sometimes you just want junk for cheap. As for the taste, we don't notice it, other than just that there's something different about mass produced chocolate.
Maybe it’s just a culture thing, but do other countries not have like, “convenience” brands? Yaknow they aren’t the best, but they’re widely available and cheaper than the real good stuff. It’s a very common thing in the US.
No shade, but I think you're going for "convenience" brands, as in "quick and easy" or "from the convenience store."
Just a little heads up that the similarly spelled but way less common word "connivance" means something very different, like being passively guilty in an illegal or immoral act.
Because like, yeah, Hershey's can be kind of bleh, but it's not so bad that we're guilty of a crime just for buying it, right?
we do but the standards are different. for example look up[ what legally can be called bread in america compared to poland. its a similar story with most food related things.
I can’t really take this seriously when Europeans constantly mock stricter standards that the US has for inedible items concealed within food, which feels like a more important law than the definition of bread.

Apparently it's butyric acid and we're all used to it in the US
