The chemical composition of zinc: zinc. Elementary, old boy.
You can't compare a shitty Hershey bar to a real chocolate bar. There are plenty of good American chocolate manufacturers.

We have some fantastic small family owned chocolate companies where I live and they have got Hersheys beat by a mile.

Not totally. But spent a substantial amount of time in the UK.

When I lived in the States, proper fudge, Peanut Butter Cups and Whatchamacallits ruled. The Whitman's Sampler on the other hand was a box of Satan's very own stool samples.
The quality of supermarket ice cream was also miles better then the UK version and being able to buy 12 fresh donuts for like $5 was brilliant. And my friend's Mum used to make the best chocolate chip cookies - Mmmmm.

Yes, I believe if you research Whitman's far enough back, you find out that during the Great Depression they used stool as the fillings for their candies and decided to just keep doing it after times improved. We do great donuts and you can't beat Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies.
I had a Hershey's chocolate once and it smelled and tasted like vomit. For some reason I tried another and that tasted fine which made me think the first one probably did have some vomit in. Oreo's are an American thing aren't they? They're very yummy indeed.
If I left England, I'd miss Fish and Chips the most and the lovely smells coming out of a chippy that cling to your clothes. Mmmm.
I've yet to find a place over here that does proper fish and chips.
Oreo's are annoyingly nice. I say "annoyingly" because the packets are f**king tiny.
At least the large packs are resealable now. Nothing worse than a stale Oreo.
Bad sex, that's worse. But that's all I can think of.
I like the colour of the grass here. No where in the world (with the exception of Ireland) has grass the same colour green.

Oo, there's large packs? I've only seen the little "bar" packs. Will have a better look next time.

They sell them in huge packs that must weigh a couple of pounds. Probably 50+ Oreos.

Pah! Oreos are just custard creams for people who can't handle the truth. 
How dare you decry the custard cream you cad! Oreos are bourbons for the culturally retarded.
I prefer gypsy creams, but as we can no longer call them "gypsy" creams due to political correctness. I shall hence forth call them "thieving bastard dole skiving" creams.
You're all biscuit snobs. Think how poor bigfella feels with his 23p packets.
