Farideh:
I forgot about Ritter Sport! How did I manage to do that? Used to love that brand.
cesium133:
Unfortunately, Ritter Sport seems to be fairly hard to find around here. The only store I've found that has it only carries the peppermint version, which is my least favorite version.
Farideh:
I really dislike peppermint with chocolate, after an unfortunate encounter with an After Eight in my youth.
cesium133:
The Ritter Sport version that I like the most but haven't been able to find for a long time is yogurt. I'm generally not a fan of yogurt (not strongly opposed, just won't go seeking it out...), but with chocolate it works pretty well.

Ritter Sport for the win!
Anyway, as a European who has lived in the US for 13 years now, I think some of the criticism of US foods is indeed exaggerated.
It's not like we don't have crap food in Europe, and it's definitely not like it's difficult to find good food in the US. I do think really crap food is more ubiquitous in the US, and more damningly, the difference in price between crap food and decent food is generally greater than in Europe, IMHO.
BUT (there's always a but), Hershey's is pretty terrible in my opinion, because of above aspects. Other US chocolate is just fine though.
American regular supermarket sliced bread is not good, but that might be because I am grew up with very good bread in NW EUrope. But, it's not difficult to find good bread, it's just a little more expensive.

Re: supermarket banana bread;
The notion that homemade food trumps storebought versions exists for good reason here.
