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. The chocolate bar, released in honor of India's Independence Day on August 15, features a mixture the company described as "dark, blended, milk and white chocolate all under one wrap."

It would have worked if the various flavors squares had been “randomly” scattered throughout the bar. But as it is, the flavors are all segregated from one another. Not a picture of diversity. It’s a picture of “separate but equal”. It would have been a bit more difficult to make, but it would have given a more honest picture. (If they didn’t want to go to all that trouble, they shouldn’t have broached the subject.
LOL! what idiots!
The white should be in the middle since everyone knows that whites cause all division.
Stop making sense!
It’s in our genes, we just can’t help it.
Someday our country will be as awesome as Zimbabwe, or Sudan, or Rwanda, or Nigeria, or Libya, or...
Irene Rosenfeld, (Chairman) Dirk Van de Put, (CEO) , sounds like these winners run the place ,LOL
Looks like a pretty interesting bar if they hadn’t got all political with it.
I was thinking along the line that they are working on getting rid of evil whitey. The chocolate deletion will follow.
I’ll wait for the Brexit Bar which just falls apart in your hand.

The color white is racist. No point offending anyone important.
What about the brown chocolate? He's excluding Latinos.
LOL! Comment of the day!
Milton: Ah - now, that’s our specialty - covered with darkest creamy chocolate. When you pop it in your mouth steel bolts spring out and plunge straight through-both cheeks.
Praline: Well where’s the pleasure in that?
If people place a nice chocky in their mouth, they don’t want their cheeks pierced. In any case this is an inadequate description of the sweetmeat. I shall have to ask you to accompany me to the station.
I guess the critics think it’s just an empty gesture, but it doesn’t seem any emptier than a lot of corporate activism. Even so, why go berserk over it? I know, because people go berserk over everything these days. Maybe we need a big war or famine or natural disaster to engulf the world and people will learn what real trouble is.
That is a classic.
Like Seinfeld’s ‘Black & White’ cookie....
Sort of ‘exploded’ on/in him and broke a 14 year non-barf record.
And they still didn’t get the chocolate babka!
