Look up 'troll' on wikipedia and I think you will find yourself looking in a mirror.

Or are too too busy searching for sMores coated with Oreos and dipped in Hires root beer that you can 'reasonably' pay 50 euros a jar for?
I have offered lots of info... for about 4000 posts worth... unlike your 70, which are all about the same thing... bitching about prices and food in Finland and bashing USA...

You're hardly the one for judging people here...coming in here with multiple nicks until being cast out and then returning with a new nick, blabbering the same stuff over and over again... :roll:

No offence rxonbladholm, but those various food bashing -filled posts do appear quite... erm... joyless. I can't help feeling that, and the following as a rhetorical example, I wouldn't dare to invite such a Timmy Timpson for dinner to our place for fear that not everything I prepared was absolutely REAL, PROPER, AUTHENTIC, or DECENT and of SUPERIOR quality... in Timmy's own precious opinion :wink:

That said, as regards the article you posted - it is of course a good thing to try and keep a healthy diet, and yes there is a lot of unhealthy food sold (and bought!) in Finland, too. But - so what? Aren't most of us grown-up people here on this forum, and haven't we indeed heard those things enough times already :?:

Dunno about any of the scrapping going on above, but the K-Market in Arabia has a dedicated shelf full of American products. (even has a couple of American flags on top so you can easily spot it)

I bought a bar of chocolate from there once, because a friend who often visits the states told me it tastes totally different over there.
5th Avenue, I think it was called.

What is in that stuff?
Tastes nothing like any chocolate I've ever eaten.
Texture is different, too.

There's quite a few K-shops with similar shelves... it's on another thread here somewhere...

Everything but the kitchen sink :D It's always fun to torture my
relatives by giving them tastes of chocolate and not "chocolate". ;)

I wasn't sure if it was a ratio thing (cocoa powder/fresh milk etc) ar simply a greater number of chemicals/additives.
Left me with an almost chalky taste in my mouth.

Cadburys and (especially) Fazer leave that stuff firmly in their wake.
