The fear of naked (intact) female bodies, i.e. censoring of even the slightest nudity, when at the same time, it’s totally fine to have minors play computer games where they can dissect other humans in great bloody detail.
Oh, and chocolate that tastes like somebody barfed into it during manufacturing.
The chocolate thing is because American chocolate manufacturers use butyric acid to preserve the milk. Basically, using fresh milk in chocolate is expensive, because you need to get it shipped directly and be located near enough to the dairy farm. So they intentionally spoil the milk in a controlled manner. This allows them to preserve the milk (as opposed to having it spoil naturally and go completely rancid,) which allows them a much more relaxed manufacturing process. This controlled spoiling method produces butyric acid in the milk.
The issue is that butyric acid tastes like vomit. Americans are used to the sour taste and don’t even really recognize that it’s not what chocolate is supposed to taste like. To them, that sour note is just part of chocolate. But Europeans come to America (and are used to fresh milk in their chocolate), and they are horribly disgusted when they taste American chocolate for the first time. Because Europeans aren’t used to having that sour note in their chocolate.
This is also why so many Americans fawn over foreign chocolate. It is seen as more luxurious, but most Americans can’t really place why it tastes so much better. The reason is the lack of butyric acid.
Can you explain why all milk tea tastes like it has playdoh in it? I just want a freaking Chai tea like the glass coffee Starbucks drinks but all the Asian teas with milk have an odd flavor from whatever is going on with the milk
So those are actually the exact same thing, apparently
More googling lead to the smarties Wikipedia page, which says the Dee family also owns Swizzles Marlow, and the first product on their page? Refreshers, bi-concave candy disks!
Other chocolate I’ve tried from other countries through import stores definitely tend to beat our chocolate. Definitely gotta agree to a degree with that one.

funny that you didn’t mention porn. I feel like that would probably be more relevant, although conservatives are trying to ban it now, so there’s that.

Butyric acid!
Also Smarties! These are Smarties everywhere else in the world apart from the US as far as I can tell.
Just googled it out of curiosity:
Our smarties is because those ones hadn’t made it over from the UK yet, so it got the “I was called that first” power
I think in the UK we have a similar thing but they’re called Refreshers.
So those are actually the exact same thing, apparently

Sex is bad but graphic footage akin to war carnage is just superhero stuff totally appropriate for kids /s
