As a person whose lived mostly in the UK and Australia, and now the US for six years, I still can’t eat many American versions of things I know. Ordinary things like Kit Kat’s or any chocolate, supermarket cakes and so on. They’re almost unpalatable to me. Cadbury’s chocolate, made under license here, is another example. In a shop the other day and the lady at the checkout was discussing with the lady she was serving how some salt she had in store had sugar in its ingredients list. We were all bemused.

That's common in iodized salt. It's not nearly enough to taste or make a difference in your diet.

Thanks I didn't know that. Potassium iodate mostly elsewhere and iodide in the US, stipulated by the FDA, which seems the right conservative decision. Now I’m amused by our bemusement.
