When an American bites into a Swedish Cloetta Kexchoklad, their brain
is expecting a Kit Kat, but their tastebuds are going to get an
existential crisis.

Americans generally prefer their candy bars to be dense, heavy, and
ultra-indulgent (think caramel, peanut butter, or thick layers of
chocolate). A Kex bar can feel too light, dry, and "bready" to be
considered a true candy reward.
