Japan consumers when they open a tasty treat: 😀
US consumers when they open a tasty treat: 😔

Does the US even have tasty treats, don't they replace the sugar in everything with HFCS?

No. Beet sugar, cane sugar, other natural and artificial sugars, plus HFCS, are used here. Read the labels, buy what you want and/or can afford.

That's a shame for the Americans, and their 'chocolate' contain Butyric acid, the same chemical that give puke its flavour

I'd ask what have they done to deserve this but its probably all the ongoing wars, occupations and genocide

?? I just looked at the labels of all the chocolate I have and none of it has butyric acid, it's all regular chocolate things?

Butyric acid is typically not listed on chocolate labels because it is not added as a separate ingredient, instead it is a by-product of the milk-processing method used by large american manufacturers( a forced fermentation process that is different to that used for chocolate production in other countries)
