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.

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
Fuck Nestle
Oh yeah they do chocolate too
Fuck Nestlé, I try to forget they exist and buy anyone else's shit
I'm a simple man. I see "Nestle" and my rage knows no bounds.
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.
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
Literally
