Yes, Nutella and Milka are probably the best tasting foods of their categories - if you factor in the price tag. They're this popular for a reason.

If you don't, I could think of a list of better tasting products than them. Problem is, they are significantly more expensive and it's up to everyone to decide if it's worth spending that much more.

As for chocolate, I'm willing to spend much more, because I've gone down that chocolate rabbit hole for a long time now. And I've tried a lot of the world's best chocolate.

It's a bit like whisky - if you've tasted Macallan, you don't want to go back to Johnny Walker.
