Aussies Are Roasting Gross American Foods And Sharing What They Like And Pointed Out These 30

I know it’s not really addressing the question, but CocaCola soft drinks such as coke and sprite are actually better in Australia as they use cane sugar as opposed to the high fructose corn syrup of the US

One other thing that most Australians don't get about American food tastes - Starbucks. WTF makes you guys consume that c**p?

Hershey's chocolate. I ate a Hershey's kiss once and it was like literal vomit. Then I tried another one just in case it was an acquired taste. It. Was. Worse. I'm never one to pass up chocolate but damn those things were so foul I had to give them away.

What America has done to cheese is a crime against nature. That liquid stuff in a can, just... Why?!

I'll also never understand the American fascination with making everything cherry flavour. For one thing, cherries don't taste like that. For another, why would you want a soft drink, a snow cone, or even a condom that tastes like cough syrup?

Seems like most of the things mentioned are packaged food and drinks that they only disliked so I’ll go the other route.

American barbecue, Buffalo wings, and the Cajun type of stews were my favorite.

Dr Pepper is nectar of the gods!

There's a store not far from me called USA Foods so I have had a fair bit of US snacks and your chocolate tastes not like chocolate. And I have read about why that is and it has to do with milk regulations and so on but it's just not pleasant to eat.

candy corn is straight up terrible. I honestly don't get it's appeal at all.

I do like old bay. I know it's regional, but it's amazing.

I've tried a few of your cereals, like cookie crisp and those lucky charms things. I used to think coco pops were sugary. You guys take sugary to a whole new level.
As for what I think tastes good, milk duds. Love milk duds.

Anytime I think of American food, I think, high sugar, high corn starch, hormone fed livestock and that weird orange plastic cheese thing.

Oh and excessively large portion sizes.

That said, nice to have occasionally, but certainly wouldn't want to be having that too often.

Good: Pumpkin pie. I thought it was a bizarre idea. My fiancé fell in love with it whilst he was eating from a USAF mess for a few months. I found a recipe online and talked it over with an American friend and made him one during a covid lockdown baking spree. It was amazing. We got a pre-made one from our local Costco a few months ago. That one was trash. I’ll stick to making my own.

Also good: everything I managed to try at the Cheesecake Factory.

Also good: Barbecue.

Disgusting: basically everything else. “Minnesota salads” spring to mind right now.

Your chocolate is vile. It tastes like bile. Sorry for the rhyme haha

I’ve never understood the popularity of Oreos. Also Reese’s peanut butter cups. I was so excited to try them because id read about them but I think I almost had a vom, they were so BAD.

Chipotle flavoured things are starting to be popular here, sometimes that’s really nice. But hit and miss

Oreos are overhyped. Arnott's Delta Cream any day

Biscuits and gravy. They served it to my Mum when she was in Texas on holiday. What the hell you guys.

Your soft drink (Soda) sizes are f*****g ridiculous, no one needs that much sugar.

Turducken should probably be a crime.

I love Laffy Taffy, Reese’s especially the holiday shapes, Cinnabon, Wendy’s, TGI Friday’s, Cheesecake Factory.. CORN DOGS I miss those so bad and we have nothing like them at all. I miss most the basic chain restaurants like Applebee’s, Denny’s, ihop. Miller’s ale house mountain melt 😍

Hated bread. Your regular bread is donuts. Impossible to find bread that wasn’t dessert.
Coca Cola is not as good either. The obsession with those post mix drink machines where you can mix and match flavours, the flavours are all gross and even normal coke comes out tasting disgusting from them.

Portion sizes are stupid, but so cheap! I would be huge if I lived there permanently.

The Peanut butter chocolate things are tops. Oreo suck!
Turduckens are brilliant

When I went to America I liked there food but there’s so much of it it overflows.

Also American bacon is kind of funny and awful coffee but I’m from Melbourne we are spoiled for coffee

American breakfast cereals are awful. I tried cinnamon toast crunch and lucky charms once and it was just bizarre. Why do you people eat candy for breakfast? Breakfast is supposed to be a slow release food to give you long-lasting energy to get through the day, not just sugar and marshmallows...

American coffee is awful. It's either stale, burnt drip coffee or a starbucks bucket-sized monstrosity with a ton of sugar. I always cringe when I see people talk about a frappuccino like it's a normal thing for a human to consume on the regular.

Twinkies are f****d. I tried kool-aid (tasted like medicine) and capn crunch (wayyy too sickly sweet; high fructose corn syrup?). Butterfingers are weird, it's like a peppermint crisp texture, very strange experience. Hostess donettes were weirdly not sweet enough. I don't get the ranch obsession, and hersheys chocolate is vile.

I've never tried that white lumpy gravy, but I don't think I'd be able to eat it, its so off putting visually.

Enormous foldy pizza is great, pop tarts are really good (I think toast em pop ups are better). Chips ahoy bikkies are good. Takis are awesome, I've only had the fuego ones which were spicier than I expected, but really good. I love Krispy kreme.
