I never knew how godsawful most American chocolate was when I was a kid, until my sister's friend visited from England and brought over a bunch of Galaxy, Cadbury, and Aero chocolate bars. The Galaxy bars (and the Cadbury Flake bars) ruined me. There are a few modern chocolate brands now that are pretty darn good (Tony's Chocolonely is one, plus it's fun to say!) but Hershey's is forever garbage to my taste buds ever since I tasted a Galaxy milk chocolate bar, all those years ago XD
