America's Worst Chocolate Brand Is Sold In Indiana

It's tough to believe that any chocolate could be considered bad, but according to Mashed, some brands are better than others for several reasons. Their list covers 11 popular brands ranked by tastes, textures, and prices. And the top 3 'worst' are classic choices found at stores all over the Hoosier state.

3. Nestle (Kit Kat)

Although Nestle makes several chocolate bars, Mashed says Kit Kat bars may be popular, but it's not because of the chocolate:

The chocolate itself is very sweet, without any unusual or deep flavors. What brings it together are the wafers, which balance the sweetness of the chocolate and add a great crunchy texture to the whole experience.

2. Russell Stover

Russell Stover chocolates are a popular choice as their chocolates come in the perfect package to give someone as a gift. But, Mashed says the artificial taste lands them at #2 on the 'worst' list:

The chocolate itself is fine, a thin one-note shell that mostly exists to enrobe a filling. The fillings are usually a little stiff, very sweet, and have an abundance of fake extract flavor.

1. Cadbury 

While many Hoosiers anticipate the arrival of Cadbury eggs for Easter, the company's Milk Line chocolate bars fall short in excitement. Mashed says both taste and texture make this chocolate the 'worst':

The milk chocolate bar was pretty sweet, which was fine, but the texture and general chocolate flavor were off-putting. The texture was brittle, almost grainy from the sugar, with a waxy mouthfeel at the end that didn't melt quickly.

Mashed ranked Lindt chocolate as the best in the U.S. for taste and texture.

16 Indiana Towns with Dirty-Sounding Names

A majority of these towns were given their names in the mid-to-late 1800s as settlers making their way across the country found unclaimed plots of land and decided to make them their own. While I imagine they thought the names they came up with were innocent, and perhaps a tribute to something in their lives, pop culture has warped our minds to the point since then that we can't help but think of something about the town that was never intended by its founders. Take a look at this list. I guarantee there's at least one name that will make you chuckle.
