Not sure, but I wonder if this is because of the sugar price supports. They are making it uneconomical to use real sugar in the U.S.

"It was made in Venasuala."
Where is "Venasuala" located?

I wonder if the Swiss share your indignation.

BTW, the new Hershey's Smores bar is pretty good.

So how many Americans do we put out of work when we buy Nestles?Where do you think Nestle is from? (Hint, it is not a North American company.) If you were interested in buying American, you wouldn't even have reached for a Nestle candy.

You did know that Nestle is a Swiss company?
To: Slump Tester
Nestle's is a foreign-owned company to begin with.

It would be extremely foolish to make a sugar based product in a nation that does allow the free import of sugar.

I'm going to Hershey on Friday. Of course, until now I hadn't planned on getting any chocolate while I'm there. This changes everything!

Frito-Lay's Stax potato chips (think Pringles) are made in Mexico. Being HQ'd in Plano, Texas probably explains that.

Nestles is not an American company; we live in a world economy and I am glad, Americans are not the only ones that can make a decent product.

Nestle is not an American company to start with.
From the company's home page:
Nestlé with headquarters in Vevey, Switzerland was founded in 1866 by Henri Nestlé and is today the world's biggest food and beverage company.
