@BaroqueInMind @bleistift2 pacifist because the org literally exists to stop everyone in it blowing each other up though

@caos @vesi *waving from mastodon*

@Aux @neo2478 KitKat was also British (Rowntrees) but it's now Nestle except the US where it's Reese's (Hershey's)

@Aux @neo2478 it might have started in the UK but it's owned by Mars and I'm pretty sure they sell a US one

@half_fiction @TTH4P the theory is it's butyric acid (in the UK everyone thinks Hershey's tastes like vomit too and lots of our milk chocolate is quite low cocoa content) https://www.huffpost.com/entry/hersheys-chocolate-tastes-like-vomit/_l/_60479e5fc5b6af8f98bec0cd

@catloaf @thebeardedpotato I go one further and subscribe to feeds in mastodon (feel a bit like an impostor though 👀

@Blaze this is probably down to a technical difference in how we're reading "tempted to"!

@Blaze @vesi the last convo on buyfromeu that I saw said that it was explicitly for EU companies (as the name suggests). So that does mark out buyeuropean as different.

@FireRetardant @grue in the UK we're not even allowed billboards on motorways as they would be a distraction. Ads *in the car* sounds insane.

@JacksonLamb @SPRUNT 'American cheese' is a specific type of cheese. I think the closest thing we have in the UK, we'd call 'plastic cheese' but even Kraft cheese slices/Kraft singles aren't 'American cheese' as they have extra milk in. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American/_cheese

@a887dcd7a thanks. I didn't think of that!
