"It doesn’t make sense for chocolate bars to be divided into equal-sized chunks when there is so much inequality in the chocolate industry! The unequally-sized chunks of our 6.35 oz bars are a palatable way of reminding Choco Fans and Serious Friends that the profits in the chocolate industry are unequally divided.

And in case you haven’t noticed, the bottom of our bars depicts the West African coastline. The chunks just above it represent the Gulf of Guinea. From left to right, you have Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Benin (terribly politically incorrect, we know, but we had to combine them to create enough space for a hazelnut), Nigeria and part of Cameroon."

They literally do, and their chocolate is a little more expensive because of it

But they’re not Hershey or Cadbury (whoever owns them, forget the name rn), or even close to them in size, so they can’t just fix the industry all on their own

Cadbury (whoever owns them, forget the name rn),

Kraft, now called Mondelez

Also Mars is the largest confectionery brand

Ok, I was actually pretty sure Mondelez was the name but was too lazy to google it

And I almost said mars instead of Hershey, then mistakenly thought Hershey’s owns Mars when I know Mondelez owns Hershey and so I basically listed them twice

Don’t Lemmy right after you wake up, kids, you’ll look silly

Don’t worry, Hershey is independent (majority owned by Hershey Trust)

In 2010, Kraft bought Cadbury. Kraft then split up into Kraft (roughly: cheese for the US) and Mondelez (roughly: sweets for RoW), with Mondelez taking along with it Cadbury.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
