Why does $1.25 chocolate in Japan taste so much better than $2 chocolate in America?

Because Americans are plebs that like vomit chocolate and protest if their manufacturers try and change the recipe to something better.

do they put less sugar in it? if not, its probably because they use sugar.

Why can't Hershey put out a new product that doesn't taste like 20% chalk and keep producing the chalky crap for the plebs?

This one time I went to Europe and brought back chocolates for my coworkers. A lot of the ones who don't travel much said they didn't like the European chocolates cause they were "too decadent" then I seen them eat reese's pieces later that day...

All asian snacks have significantly less sugar and salt. They taste "lighter" and much better.

American chocolate is real bad on a common level.

Sure, you might find that one delicatessen shop in an obscure part of town that actually makes good stuff but what most Americans consider chocolate is really just garbage.

American chocolate is fine if you're not expecting a strong cocoa flavor. It being artificially sweet has its benefits.

Hi all, first time venturing onto /ck/ and I can answer this :D
I work for Nestlé in the UK and we use milk crumb, as does the Japan market, in America you use normal milk; which goes sour. American chocolate uses "gone off"/ sour milk for their chocolate but in other countries milk crumb is usually used.

They are actually sweeter because Japanese people will eat like one piece of candy and then save the rest for another time. They don't eat a whole chocolate bar in one sitting, just like one piece.

To be fair, European chocolate is really rich and you're only supposed to eat like one piece per sitting, or cook with it. It's not usually an eating chocolate in the sense that you don't eat an entire bar in one sitting. They make it that rich on purpose because their main market is people who don't eat a whole bar in one sitting. Same with Japanese candies.

Now if there's one food item supposed to be decadent, it's chocolate.

I mean I agree, but I only eat a piece of two at a time and if I try to eat more I get an upset stomach. But some people for whatever reason like eating entire bars at a time and I imagine more decadent chocolate is not to their liking because of that

Like if I was making smores or something, I probably would just use Hershey's because putting chocolate that rich and expensive on smores doesn't sound good at all

That's the opposite of the impression I got.
It feels insanely thick and filling, heavy as fuck on the cocoa (fake mind you), synthetic and with very little enjoyment payoff for how fucking heavy it is.

You're retarded.
There are different kinds of chocolate. Europeans tend to make a lot of milk chocolate which is far lighter than american and can easily be downed by the fucking pound if you're so inclined.
You probably got either cooking chocolate or some sort of nougat which belgians are fond of mixing into their chocolate candies.
