You're right that Americans don't know milk chocolate?

Ew man, reading up a tiny bit on your "milk chocolate" it's pretty gross. Explains why to me Hershey's smells like vomit:

Hershey process milk chocolate is popular in North America. It was invented by Milton S. Hershey, founder of The Hershey Company, and can be produced more cheaply than other processes since it is less sensitive to the freshness of the milk. The process is a trade secret, but experts speculate that the milk is partially lipolyzed, producing butyric acid, which stabilizes the milk from further fermentation. This compound gives the product a particular sour, "tangy" taste, to which the American public has become accustomed, to the point that other manufacturers now simply add butyric acid to their milk chocolates.

Seems you guys may just have lower standards than the UK.

Milk chocolate is solid chocolate made with milk in the form of milk powder, liquid milk, or condensed milk (invented by Henri Nestle in the 1800s) added. In the 1870s Swiss confectioner Daniel Peter had developed solid milk chocolate using condensed milk; hitherto it had only been available as a drink.[3] The U.S. Government requires a 10% concentration of chocolate liquor; EU regulations specify a minimum of 25% cocoa solids
 
High-cocoa chocolates, in particular the darks, are f*cking nasty. It's like eating bitter or sweet dirt.

there's a story on the news today that they've mapped the genome sequence of the cacao tree and it's going to lead to better chocolate by genetic engineering
