Kit Kat Imposter

While on this trip, I have had some cravings for American food. My current obsession is pancakes. I want pancakes. While at the grocery store a couple of days ago, I saw a 3-pack of Kit Kats. I had to have them. I don't usually have American products while I travel - I usually try European candy bars instead. But I wanted a Kit Kat.

This Kit Kat was an imposter. The complaint? The chocolate is too good. It's not the same. It's some sort of fair trade chocolate. But when I bought that Kit Kat, I was not looking for good fair trade chocolate. I was looking for home. Alas, the Kit Kat failed me.

As a matter of fact, Kit Kat is not the only American food product that has failed me on this trip.

The Sprite? Has Truvia in it and 30% less sugar here now. It's still marketed the same - regular Sprite. You only find out about the Truvia if you bother the read the small print on the back of the bottle. I'm all for low-calorie drinks, but I prefer to be fully aware that I'm drinking Diet Sprite.

The Pringles? No, thank you. They were downright disappointing. I don't even know what was wrong with them; they just weren't Pringles.

The M&Ms? Better, actually. I'm not sure if the chocolate was sweeter or the peanuts were fresher, but the M&Ms were, in fact, better.

The tally for American candies? Europe 1, America 3.
