Could be wrong but I think other countries have more stringent restrictions on preservatives and other junk food additives so they may not have the same recipe as their American counterparts.

And the boxes are smaller too. My father used to remark how the cereal boxes in Italy were way smaller than the ones in America.

TBF, the cereal boxes in America are like 70% air these days

You are not wrong.

Compare the ingredients of American and European food based products.

Apparently the US version of Cool Ranch Doritos uses Buttermilk, that might be it.

Yep, the Coke is worse too. I think it depends on which foods get made domestically with high fructose corn syrup vs another country with a different sugar?

No wonder I'm a diabetic. I miss Doritos and Coke.

Mexican Coke really is tasty. I don't even like colas, but that one is solid. But BDS, Coca Cola being evil by default, etc....

That's the real sugar you are tasting, and the absence of corn syrup.
