This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Oh no bigotry!
It's not about 1 shitty company. OC in a large country there will be some individuals who get good coffee or chocolate.
But the vast majority consume garbage quality.
And it's OK bcs they are tasteless peasants.
Drown it in sugar, or better their beloved corn syrup and they'll happily swallow it by the buckets.
My view is based on all US products I had the misfortune to taste.
Besides stereotypes are often true.
Sounds like you chose the shitty chocolates. I almost never buy chocolate, but when I do, there is always a healthy selection of 85-90% cacao goodness available.
You should rather pity them. It's like Platon's Shadow Cave, they've been fed lies, their entire lives, the few of them that actually get out of the USA will know the difference.. The sad thing is that if you try to convince the ones that have never left the country, they will die rather than admit defeat.
