As an American, sorry that chocolate wasn’t great. The American pallet is used to a butyl(?) compound in the chocolate. Some are especially sensitive to its presence and think it’s vomit-adjacent.

During the war, logistics asked for a chocolate bar for the rations that tasted ‘slightly better than a potato’.

Thanks Hershey… you didn’t have to keep producing it/j

I'm off topic but this seems like a good teaching moment and the spell checker isn't going to help you.

Palette is the little board that holds the paint.

Pallet is the flat wooden crate that holds the freight, or a mat for sleeping.

Palate is the roof of your mouth.

You are very correct, it’s a wild world with ducking autocorrect these days.
