ditto on the food
I went to Pennsylvania in the 90s and found Hershey's chocolate reminded me of the childhood misadventure when I tried eating a lump of lard 'cos I thought it'd taste like butter. The level of surprise was about the same.
I also made the mistake of ordering a pizza based on the size of the illustrative pizza tray that was hung on the wall. A sensible idea when you're not sat at the opposite side of the restaurant from said trays.
I read somewhere that US bacon is glazed... is that actually true?
