It’s a traditional price curve problem.

They could raise their prices and take the chocolate position.

Instead, they chose to dilute their product and their brand position to keep their prices low.

We used to eat these all the time we went to the movies in the 1960s... Now they are no more. Sad, but true. One of the best chocolate concoctions ever made.

I thought this thread was going to be about something you put gravy on along with your fried chicken. Instead it was about some obscure cookie/wafer thing that the muslims outlawed in their newly acquired Eurostan.

We all know what the answer is. Correct the wage reduction everyone was forced to endure with the plandemic that was executed along with the people forced to absorb huge price increases as companies were forced out of business and production was reduced across the board.

The biggest scam in all of history.

I think “biscuits” is British English for what we call cookies.

Tony’s Chocolonely, using 100 per cent slave-free cocoa, offers a sustainable alternative

does chocolate require slaves to be 'proper' chocolate?

I'm not so sure. I'm something of a finicky gourmet and I've found that slave-free chocolate
just doesn't have that je ne sais quoi of the traditional method. Give me slave produced cocoa any day.

When lamenting the high price of chocolate and the droughts in Africa, mention is seldom made of chocolate production in other parts of the world.

Central and South America, Indonesia and the rest of the Asian tropics, a number of Caribbean islands, and even Hawaii, also grow cocoa trees.
