The snacks section could use a lot of chocolates but then again as European it's hard to find American chocolate: Milka, Ferrero Rocher, Lindt, Tony's Chocolonely, Callier... Just to name a few.
I was surprised to see Toblerone on the American side, apparently they're under an American company nowadays! TIL
Also, Logitech isn't Chinese? Huh, TIL as well
Yah, avoid most US chocolate as best as possible. There are some local/regional chocolatiers that are darn good, but likely not going over to Europe.
Oh yeah, local chocolatiers tend to be the best, although also by far the most expensive.
In general, in Europe it's easy to avoid foreign products if you buy local (baker's bread, fisher's fish, greengrocers' vegetables, etc.), but also assuming you earn well.
