"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

        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.

          I’m not sure the last time any of these people have eaten Cadbury but it’s absilute dog shit tier chocolate now in the USA. It’s like buying Hersheys

        The “lonely” part of the name comes from how they’re the only player in the industry trying to do what they do.

      Fait point, but it’s a statement about the industry as a whole, not their own production. Even if they were to distribute profits evenly over the entire production chain of their products (which I agree they probably don’t), the industry as a whole would still have this problem.
