    Coming from Germany, I can confirm that the objectively correct level of sweetness is what they sell over there. America/UK are too sweet (obviously!). Japan is not sweet enough (duh!).

    In other news, sweetness, just like spicyness, seems to be acquired taste and once you got brainsugared by one country’s Big Sweets you never come back.

      Age plays a part. I don’t each much sweets as an adult in the US because they are usually cloying. I’d rather have some fruit. It was the opposite when I was a child.

      I had some mild sweet Oreos from Korea recently, and I prefer them to normal ones, for instance.
