Chocolate Conflicts
December 30th, 2009 by Rosa
Via my friend Nana (of generous international candy gifting fame), a BBC story about a US/UK chocolate divide and potential British resistance to a Hershey’s takeover of Cadbury. The NY Times’s take can be found here.
And via Chocolate Bytes, news that Mars is suing Hershey’s. The claim is that Hershey’s Bliss ads are a bit too similar to Mars’s Dove Chocolate ads.

While I love most American candy, I feel terrible admitting in public that I *really* don’t like most American chocolate. To me, it doesn’t taste like chocolate, but grease. And it smells kind of funky too.
That said, I’m not bothered if they do take over Cadbury’s: they’re not going to change the way Cadbury’s chocolate tastes!
