A British candy company is facing backlash after advertising a new, multiflavored candy bar meant to promote diversity in India.

The controversy started when Cadbury, the world's second-largest confectionery brand, announced its "Unity Bar" earlier this month.

Good grief, it's just chocolate.

You're in trouble if you promote diversity. You're in trouble if you don't. Can't win.

It’s not going to promote diversity.

Good grief, people are delusional if they think they can change attitudes with candy bars.

They do make good candy.

Most countries don”t care about diversity except when they are demanding it of the U,S.

The Exploding nuts were meant to include Muslims in the mix.

Well they can delete them under the idea that white chocolate isn’t technically chocolate.

Which color you choose first says a LOT about you..I’m sure the “influencers of so iety” will say. And pretty soon the Unitybar will have NO white chocolate squares included in their bar of unity.

For diversity, that's nothing compared to the NECCO Skybar.

No, promoting ‘diversity’ is not “just chocolate.”

Wait!!!!

They make a "Unity" Bar to promote "Diversity"????

Aren't those two terms pretty much antonyms?

= = =

Let’s take a long, hard look at the dirt of these countries.

Seems like the dirt is always ‘brown’ plus/minus a few shades.

I’ve just been out to check my flower garden (oops, some zinnias are pink), and the dirt is, confirmed, brown.

So, I need govt intervention. Send me white dirt, or black dirt, or trans dirt, or what-ever color dirt will make me OK in the eyes of all the observers,.

I grew up with hershey bars. My c-rats jad hershey bars. I believe, that hershey bars have been more ‘uniting’, since the days of all military men, who received a c-rat carton got a hershey bar!!
