Perception outside the US

I think the flags on recent edits to this section are unnecessary. The flag that it represents a primarily UK-based view is ludicrous - the fact is that it's the one section of the page that doesn't represent a primarily USA-based view! I have seen, on several Hershey's-related pages, a dedicated effort from one particular editor to remove any mention of how foul Hershey's chocolate tastes to people who have not grown up with it. It borders on looking suspiciously like corporate interference. Frankly, describing it as "unfamiliar" is if anything excessively generous. I'm also not sure what "clarification" is needed on the first sentence, nor what citation is necessary beyond those that are already provided after the following sentence. 130.63.223.114 (talk) 21:21, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
