What some observers suggest is that sooner or later everyday Americans might start to question if their chocolate is the best in the world or not? And if they start down that road where would it end?

Is their produce the best in the world or does Ireland have them beat there too (hint -- Ireland does).

And what about their politics and economy and tax system? Do Americans get value for money when it comes to their cell phone packages (hint -- they do not) or their broadband (it's years behind Europe) or their education costs?

It seems that America's corporate leaders have a message for the competition – we will sue you out of existence. We will ban you before you take a foothold. Then we will run ads in the Super Bowl to remind you that we're number one and we'll prevent you from discovering if that's true or not.

Today it's Irish chocolate on the chopping block. Tomorrow it'll be another foreign threat.

For the record, all those snacks featured in the video are crap and most of us don't like them either. :P At least I don't.

Ya I know, there is another video along the same lines of Americans trying Irish snacks and I have never seen or heard of half the crap they were eating.
