You joke, but I've heard that Airplane! actually inspired that policy. That might just be an urban legend, though.

Ursa Adorandum
The Perishers (1986)

I feel like I need to add some context notes, like the Bloom Country strips. Mr Band-Aid is obviously Bob Geldof.
Mr Maxwell is Robert Maxwell, millionaire and since 1984 owner of the Daily Mirror newspaper in which The Perishers was published. (But not anything to do with Maxwell House coffee.)

We have real chocolate too. Hershey's is the poo poo we give to children and for situations where we want to give chocolate but don't care enough to spend actual money on it(office treats and such), because it's cheap and easy to buy in large quantities.

How non-Americans got it in their head that we're not familiar with any chocolate but Hershey's is baffling to me. It's like assuming our only pizza is Pizza Hut. But some variation on "poor Americans, completely without access to real chocolate" comes up every time Hershey's does, without fail.

This. I always laugh whenever non-Americans assume that Hershey's is the only chocolate we have. Even within convenient stores you can find other, much better chocolates for sale (although they tend to cost more)

Dove chocolate is a good step up without a steep price increase. Then there is Ghiradelli and Godiva.
When I lived in Memphis, there was a local chocolatier called Dinstuhl's. That had factory tours and a company store that sold fresh off the line chocolate. There are two things I miss about Memphis: Dinstuhl's and the Zoo. Not the high taxes or the mentally ill turned into the homeless or the misguided attempts to revitalize downtown (like the trolley nobody wanted and nobody uses).
Okay, the Redbird's stadium is really nice, but I'm a Cubs fan and they are the AAA affiliate for the Cardinals.
I really like chocolate but have low standards.

Call them first if you want the tour. They have to have enough people interested at a specific time before they'll do it. At least, that's how it was a decade or so ago when we did it. It was a popular school field trip spot.

Yes, give a heads-up to the DeGroots so they can hire a lawyer to help them cover their asses, but your very next call after that should be to Souffle Lingerie who will most definitely call up their own lawyers to take Ann Eiffel to the cleaners.

Yes, but there all of it is good. You can grab anything off the shelf and it's gonna be good. Even American brands taste better there than here. Certainly many Americans are aware of better chocolate, but it's not so universal as there, and we do have to seek it out and often spend more for it. We get hosed here with regard to chocolate. It's just true.

Luann is like a Bizarro World-version of Archie Comics.

Not any of the cool reboots, but the straight up Silver Age Bizarro where the characters are all lumpy dolts that say stuff like “Bizarro am Worst superhero, more worse than Superman! Bizarro Love Superman!”

It's a good strip.

I was wasting time in a bookshop with coworkers yesterday where they had a unicorn themed display in the kids' section, and I had to check if they'd included any Phoebe books. If they had I would now be known at work as "the guy who picks up unicorn stuff from the kids' section and loudly announces 'now this one's actually really good, you guys'".
