"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."

It isn’t American, and it doesn’t taste like shit.

The founder, Teun van der Keuken, is a Dutch guy. He started this journey with sueing himself before a Dutch judge, on account of participating in slave labour (by buying chocolate in a supermarket, knowing that it’s likely produced by slave labour)

Sounds cool. I’ll give it a try. You know where I can get some? I like Aldi chocolate cause it tastes good, cheap, and doesn’t use slave labor

I know you can get it at Albert Heijn

Edit: I just learned that Aldi chocolate is sourced through Tony’s supply lines, so they should be the same level of slave-free

Same. I am obsessed with their peanut butter cups and the peanut and cornflake bars.

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.
