what country has the worst snack selections, and why is it australia?

>no flamin hot cheetos or doritos equivalent (doritos have hardly ANY flavor here)
>literally less than 10 chocolate bars available in the whole country
>only 2 - 3 different varieties for each energy drink brand (if you dont like monster regular, or monster zero ultra then too bad)
>literally only one iced tea brand with 2 - 3 different flavors, and NO unsweetened varieties
>nothing comes in jumbo or party size, and everything is insanely overpriced (6 reeses cups costs about $4 - $5)
>no walmart or 24 hour supermarkets (you better buy snacks before midnight or else you have to wait til the morning, or spend 2-3 times the price at a petrol station)
>literally no kool aid or dr pepper in the entire country
>root beer equivalent (sarsaparilla) tastes like shit

I don't think you understand what literally means.
There are hundreds of chocolate bars available, granted most are shit. Get something from Belgium or Switzerland - heck even Woolies sells some of these.
Iced tea, we have 2 brands I can think of, Nestea and Lipton.
No jumbo or party size is probably a good think, we're fat enough already. Also ALDI sells large bags of chips if you're that hungry.
24 hour supermarkets are open in Victoria. Do you live in Queensland or something?
There are both kool-aid and Dr. Pepper. My local fish and chip shop sells Dr. Pepper as does the local Asian grocer.
I don't like root beer so I can't comment.

Sweden, only tolerable form of crisps/chips is Estrella 'grill' flavour or kebab dream if you manage to find those, everything else loaded with disgusting sour cream and dill flavours. Chocolate selection is all dull, dark and boring, no nice entry level milk chocolate like cadbury etc available. Barely any variations of flavours of coke, can barely find cherry if you're lucky, good luck finding vanilla or based zero peach, surprisingly elaborate selection of energy drinks though. No nice pre-made sandwiches/deli options at supermarkets, might be lucky to find a roll with a bit of ham on it and a tomato randomly chucked on top. Fast food options pretty piss poor too, national fast food chain Max is superb but expensive and hardly ubiquitous, McDonalds is the only real option most of the time and the menu is very limited, I only remember one Subway in the whole of Stockholm too which was absurdly expensive and also of very limited selection. Never found a fried chicken place there. The fast food kiosks in the suburbs are based as fuck though but unreliable with opening hours and consistency.

All in all, pretty dire
