"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!
No, it makes sense. I understand, but it makes a lot more sense
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.

It doesn’t make sense for cars to have 4 equal sized wheels when there is so much inequality in the auto industry.
Yeah this copy needed a couple more drafts/notes.
Ok but this is a good way to raise awareness about the issue. Many people will pick these bars in the store without knowing much about the brand. Then when they eat it, they will probably wonder why it's divided like that and the explanation is right there on the inside of the wrapper.
I'm gonna be real here when I saw one of these bars for the first time I just assumed they were assholes and didn't look any further into why the bar wasn't cut in a usable way.
No, I did not notice part of my chocolate bar looks vaguely like part of the coast of part of a continent I’ve never been too. I’m sorry. I’m clearly the asshole here
Good choc though
It probably taste like shit american chocolate too. I tried Aldi's chocolates and can't go back.
Same. I am obsessed with their peanut butter cups and the peanut and cornflake bars.
HAIL CORPORATE
I do like these bars but breaking it into pieces without a mess is difficult. I've had to resort to putting the entire thing in my mouth and waiting for it to melt down my throat.
The sarlaac method
I guess we'll just have to deal with slavery then
If only there was some middle ground between hard to eat chocolate and modern day slavery.
You break it while the packaging is intact
The geopolitical meta is strong here
Giggity
Quite succesful in the Netherlands.
In 2003, after discovering that the majority of chocolate produced at the time had links to human exploitation, Dutch television producer and journalist Teun van de Keuken began producing programs about the horrors of the commercial cocoa industry on his show Keuringsdienst van Waarde. Furthermore, he submitted a request to be prosecuted for knowingly purchasing an illegally manufactured product, which prosecutors declined to do.
After three years of unsuccessful attempts to change the industry through investigative efforts, Van de Keuken decided to start producing chocolate bars himself. The brand was called "Tony's Chocolonely" with "Tony" (= Teun) and "Chocolonely" in reference to Teun van de Keuken feeling as if he was the only person in the industry who was interested in eradicating slavery. Van de Keuken sold 20,000 bars in two days.

This is my favorite brand of chocolate rn
It’s pretty average I find? Like it’s just cheap shit they sell at the supermarket.
It's better than Hershey's. Hershey's is what I consider average and that shit is hot garbage.
I don’t think we sell Hershey’s in my country, but yeah most American chocolate isn’t really thought of as real chocolate here. So I could see Tony’s being good in comparison.
The plain milk chocolate ones are meh but the other ones with nuts or salted caramel are quite nice.
It was my favorite too up until recently. It has been dethroned by Choceur brand from Aldi.
Funny that they made their brand the biggest piece of all in the representation.
I'm reading it like they colonize Africa directly
"It's UNFAIR that all of these countries exist! All must bow before Tony's West African Company."
Tony's West African Minimum-Security Chocolate Manufactorium - formerly several countries.
Too bad about all the lead in them. They're not as bad as some brands, though.
The lead and cadmium are in there on purpose, to enhance taste. Have you ever had chocolate without lead and cadmium? It tastes nasty
An ounce of their Dark Chocolate has 134% of the California max dose of 0.5 mg of lead, for those wondering about details.
Otoh, it makes them sweeter
If it's good enough to collapse the Roman Empire, it's good enough to collapse the American Empire!
Well shit
I know, right? It really sucks. They're honestly one of the tastier bars I'd had. I've taken a bit of a step back from chocolate in general, these days. I probably got enough lead exposure as a kid... no need to add any more than is absolutely unavoidable.
Lol, that's per ounce too.
if I die by eating dark chocolate, at least I'll die happy
Coco o plomo?
The billionaire chocolate bar would leave only the wrapping paper to the consumer.
Did Europe colonize that chocolate bar
I swear to god I need a rolling my eyes emoji for the shit I see on Lemmy sometimes.
Today's post is...
*Shuffles cards.
Inequality... Chocolate... so you can feel depressed about the world while you are eating chocolate.
(no offense to OP, maybe I'm just an old man who doesn't get it)
Thanks for the advertisement?
