In America, cheap shitty pastries are ubiquitous. You can get them everywhere. It's not something worth lining up for, especially when the bar is set by the likes of krispy kreme, but you can even get something that cost less, has less pure refined sugar and sneed oils, and tastes better at just about any grocery/convenience store. Even brand chocolate tastes like shit. I don't know why people put up with this dogshit chemical laced bullshit "food". American companies even quickly recipe most of their products with plastic. If you don't eat it fast enough, it'll suck any resemblance of flavor that did happen to be present and replace it with a strong tang that's hard to get rid of..
