In America basically there are two major Brands of Chocolate that people buy in the Grocery Store: Nestles and Hersheys. Other Specialty brands are also available as well as the increasingly popular boutique stores which make their own chocolate.
From what I could tell from shopping in Albert, Bila and Tesco, in Prague, there seems to be two or three main brands of Chocolate sold in the Czech Republic as well. The three major brands being: Orion, Nestle and Milka. There is also the Belgian Chocolate(Praline) store in many locations throughout Prague as well and a few other specialty chocolate shops.
As Americans we grew up on Hersheys Chocolate Bars, it seems to be the quintessential American Chocolate, although I know Nestles would disagree. One very Famous Hershey chocolate icon are their Chocolate 'Kisses', which are usually wrapped in Silver aluminum foil, but which also come in red, green and silver foil at Christmas time, and in Purple(like sugar plums) in their dark chocolate variety.
