Wonder Bread is the industry leader in sales, 'good food' doesn't seem to matter

And it is very low quality.

My question is why?

The most popular chocolate brand in Germany is Milka, which is MILES better than Hershey's which is the most popular chocolate brand in the US

You mean in northern Europe? Sure, but they have the worst food in the world.

Traveling to Europe makes me sad for American food; traveling to South America makes me miss American food.

We have incredible food too

Is there really anything that's incredible "American" though?

BarBQ, hamburgers, southern comfort food, Cajun food, and

Ketchup came from China to England and then to the US...
