I don't doubt that there are some pretty bad chocolate bars coming from 
Europe. There are also lots of good ones. I was in the habit of eating a 
square or two of Lindt dark chocolate every night. It's hard to beat 
that stuff. Once in a while I get some nice chocolate from the Dutch store.

It's been a long time since I have bought chocolate in the US so I am 
not in a position to compare them. I do remember being totally turned 
off by Hershey bars. What a disappointment. I grew up watching American 
television and movies and that led me to think that a Hershey bar was 
the best thing ever. Then I had one.  Yech. I came to realize that the 
other American chocolate bars were much better.
