Re: Russian or US chocolate

According to at least former Soviet kid who posted about this, Zinaida's reaction was completely accurate and something they had lived themselves. Not because they didn't have chocolate in Russia--or even good chocolate or superior chocolate--but because they didn't have anything close to a Milky Way. (Even the finest chocolate=/=Milky Way, no matter which one they prefer.) They said when those things came in they flooded the market and they ate them every day.
