US chocolate covers the entire range from shit that can barely be described as chocolate to the highest quality chocolate that can be produced. I find it easy to buy high quality chocolate at the grocery store whenever I want, its just as accessible as shitty chocolate. Trying to paint US chocolate as one thing is disingenuous or ignorant.

    Thag perception is because the "shitty" chocolate is mass marketed and widely available. You're not gonna find gourmet artisan chocolate at a 7-11.

    This seems to happen with Beer too. Yes, America makes shitty beer but also lots of great beer.

    Very true. You can get great locally made beer in every single state. The US has an incredible brewing scene, you can find the highest quality examples of almost every kind of beer in the US. You can also find plenty of the disappointing mass produced bullshit beers just like in every other beer drinking country. I feel bad for all the beer lovers who buy into that bullshit and think its representative of US beer because they are really missing out. There's plenty of things to criticize the US for but a lack of quality beer or chocolate is not it.

    It most definitely is. Things which are called "chocolate" or "beer" in the USA are often unfit for human consumption and at least they wouldn't be able to call these beer/chocolate in Europe.

    They have the commoner stuff and the rich people stuff, and because the rich people stuff exists they get to claim it as better.

    Americans are all temporarily embarassed millionaires, thats why they bote against their own interests.

    ...come on. That is how things are done, its the same as US beer, in general its shit but I am sure there are loads of microbreweries that everyone here will declare as prime beer. The reality is the everyday common and known brands, making up most of the market are dogshit.

    the highest quality chocolate that can be produced

    Do ye hear yourselves.
