“Mama, may I please have some of the American candy?”
“No Olaf, it is illegal. Eat your dubbelzout.”
“But mother, it tastes like iodine.”
“Then you get nothing, ungrateful child. Go to your room, Olaf. GO!”

They're not saying anything's wrong, they're saying that they don't get this stuff in whatever third world bullshit country this is.

'Murca has lots of stuff wrong with it, but damn if there isn't a dozen snacks for every taste here. Probably why we're all fat.
