God damn it, there's so much on there I had no idea, and I've been hating nestle since the early 2000's...
Just a few I was buying, unaware:
Carnation
Cheerios
Coffeemate
DiGiorno pizza
Fuckin cheerios? Damn...

If you want a chocolate coated cookie that isn't shit and isn't Nestle, be in the lookout for Tim Tams.
They can be a bit tricky to track down in the US - 'world foods' type grocers would be the place to look.
They're an Australian cookie that puts US junk food to shame (not a high bar, but still).
They are especially amazing if you take a tiny nibble off of two opposing corners, and use it like a straw to suck some coffee or tea or anything hot. Shove the whole thing in your mouth the second you start feeling coffee come through, and enjoy a gooey explosion of
diabetesdeliciousness.Bonus points if you can find the caramel ones.

Of note KitKats made in the US are made by Hershey, not Nestle. As I understand it's a legacy licencing deal and Nestle makes no money if you buy a US KitKat.
That being said Hershey's chocolate is what it is. American's are used to it, but it's not great.
Yes but Nestlé KitKats are commonly imported and sold in the US too, especially in Asian grocery stores. I see them everywhere.

Excellent. I was thinking, I don't know of any Hershey's issues, but I'm confident someone else will.

I'm sure there are more, but it's not as obvious. I had to dig a little for these.

The truly ascendant way to eat kit Kats is in a smore.

No, what do you mean by nestle? Do they have bots that probably send out advertisements disguised as posts? Abso-fucking-lutely. A pizza company had one just a few days ago. These are super easy to spot here on Lemmy. Is it one of the suits in the c-suite? Nah.
Just a guess, but when the person you're replying to says "nestle" they mean "the company of nestle, it's employees and all their bullshit" rather than "this specific person from the company" like most people...
I doubt many people are under the illusion that major players in any company are directly involved with astroturfing on websites they don't own.
It's always going to be a low level employee, possibly even an unpaid intern.

Right, which is why I explained it below.

there are alternative wafers covered in chocolate
Argentina produces grafiti, which is available at the very least in uruguay and argentina, probably in other places in LATAM as well
Sweden and Denmark (and probably the rest of Scandinavia) has Kex which is somewhat similar

I've been boycotting Nestle for years and I still avoid them when I can, but these days if my only choices are Nestle or an American brand (Nestle is Swiss) I'll choose Nestle.

there is not a single product that you require for sustenance that is exclusively available from these two options. Just don't!

I was kind of surprised that they tried to astroturf here. Reddit probably has their back and they got too cocky.
The company has been associated with various controversies, facing criticism and boycotts over its marketing of baby formula as an alternative to breastfeeding in developing countries (where clean water may be scarce), its reliance on suppliers that use child labour in cocoa production, and its production and promotion of bottled water.
Nestlé is involved in many significant controversies due to Nestlé's reported use of
- Baby milk controversy
- incidents of contaminated and infested food products,
- actively spreading disinformation about recycling,
- illegal water-pumping from drought-stricken Native American reservations,
- preventing access to non-bottled water in impoverished countries,
- price fixing,
- slave labor,
- child labor,
- extensive union-busting activity, and
- deforestation.
Baby milk controversy
I have some women coworkers and a couple of years ago they were sitting in the break room lamenting how hard it was to find formula. I naively asked them why they didn't breastfeed and they looked at me like I'd grown an extra head. It's absolutely astonishing that after 200 million years of successful breastfeeding (which even gives us our "mammal" name), a corporation was able to convince women that no, they should be feeding their babies with shit from a can made in factory.

wrote last edited by [email protected]There's also kvikk lunsj in Norway. And yeah, we can easily buy kex too
I'm sure plenty other countries have local variants
