Doritos gotta be near the top of the list.
Sounds like you like sodium.
I’d be more afraid of Flo beating the crap out of me.
You’re right, but I didn’t want to spoil the Simpsons reference.
Remember people in small towns and rural areas may not have a local eatery , they only have chains.
Best cheese for grilled cheese is Kraft Deli Deluxe - this is real cheese, not “cheese food product”. Can be hard to find, hidden by all the variations of individually wrapped fake cheese. Usually a double-wide package, not individually wrapped, and way more expensive.
The thing about Hershey’s mentioned in the OP, I don’t think it’s inferior. I’ve had supposedly premium chocolate from around the world, and I don’t see the big deal. Hershey’s does me just fine.
Squeeze Cheese! Came here to say this. It also goes well on (low sodium) Saltines. Some times I make smiley faces, some times I just make a large pile of rosettes. It’s been a few years since I indulged in this terrible, terrible American snack. Yum!
I know some who are ga-ga over ‘Hot Pockets’. I’ve tried one once, and they are filling, but too greasy and gut-bomb-y to me.
But the worst part is the smell of them being heated. I guess it’s the artificial shortening and the packaging. When they’re heated, the smell could knock a buzzard off a shit wagon.
Gakk!!

When I first visited the US many moons ago and as a vegetarian asked for a jacket potato with cheese I WAS HORRIFIED!!!
I didn’t get a jacket potato with grated cheese, No! The cheese I received on that potato was unlike anything I’d ever seen or tasted in my life. It was a nasty liquid vileness that I’d never seen before & never asked for agin.
Asking for a jacket potato in the US and I’m surprised you didn’t get a potato with a little coat on it.
that’s funny!
ooh, I don’t eat flaming hot anything. But I do love Cheetos, even though they are disgusting. I like Fritos, too.
yeah, I had to think a while to guess what a “jacket potato” might be.
When Little Banjo was small, I used to make tuna noodle casserole — “ironically “ — when the Ukulele Lady was away.
I followed the “He-Man’s Tuna Casserole” recipe from Jan and Michael Stern’s essential 1980s cookbook Square Meals, which includes sour cream, onion, celery, garlic, pimientos, and green pepper, as well as the usual can of cream of mushroom soup. And I used the roasted garlic mushroom soup, and topped with grated Parmesan instead of crumbled crackers.
Little Banjo is now 24, large and hairy and smelly and living with his hot girlfriend in Prague, and one of his favorite dishes is still tuna noodle casserole. To my horror.
He’s visiting Brooklyn for a couple more days now, and his picks for home cooked meals are poppa’s fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, and…Tuna noodle casserole.
Kraft Macaroni and Cheese.
Somehow it manages to be flabby, slimy, gritty, and floppy all at once. It’s hideous. It tastes like chemicals. It has no redeeming qualities.
But every now and then…it’s just so damn good.
For me, it’s not only the taste, but the mouth feel/how it melts. Premium chocolate melts almost immediately, with the the waxy coating/aftertaste of Herseys. Regular Japanese chocolate has that feel because they tend to have more milk in them. One of my favorite Japanese chocolate is Choco Babies (yeah, I know, possibly non-PC). Little pellets of chocolate that have a waxy coat, which I’m sure really is paraffin, but once that melts away, the chocolate is divine. 
Good luck. The UK has not really taken up Mexican, more’s the pity, and I have never even seen a Taco Bell there. Most likely the first ones will be in London, if they are not there already.
For the record, that is probably a regional thing or even just unique to that restaurant. I’ve never ordered a baked potato and received any kind of cheese except grated cheddar or colby jack unless it was a “specialty” version like a nacho potato with queso, taco meat, tomatoes, and jalapenos.
Ok, it is true that hershey’s chocolate has a different taste than Euro milk chocolate, since they use a different process. but trust me, even in Germany etc, they still make and eat plenty of crap chocolate, stuff that tastes quite similar to that used in hollow easter bunnies. Generally in the uSA, we get only premium chocolate imported, not the grocery store stuff. I am not a fan of hershey’s different taste but some prefer it. It is by no means generally "inferior. "
See’s is quite good. In fact a blind taste test had several of theirs ranked higher than Godiva and even higher than some very pricy chocolate. Part of that is See’s “thing” for freshness, no stale chocolate is ever sold.
Spam is rather similar to other nations canned meat products .
American processed cheese food is nasty, but has a good shelf life (and makes decent trout bait!). Real american cheese melts very nice and is great for cheeseburgers. But not for snacking or cheese plates.
The ones sold in Disneyland are not heart healthy by any means, but are the best Corn dogs we have ever had.
