Mildly Interesting

I love it, but I feel obligated to say

"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

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.

Too bad about all the lead in them. They're not as bad as some brands, though.

Maybe they should spend less money on a fancy mold for their chocolate and more on better sourced cocoa beans with less lead in them: https://www.consumerreports.org/health/food-safety/lead-and-cadmium-in-dark-chocolate-a8480295550/

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.

Thanks for the advertisement?

Funny that they made their brand the biggest piece of all in the representation.

Some info, that's interesting and helps balance this blatant advertisement. Tony's was started by Dutch television maker Teun van der Keuken. He worked on a program that exposes products for their production methods and false marketing and so on. They stumbled onto the slavery that's part of the cacao industry. He asked to be arrested for eating chocolate, and in doing so enabling slave labor, but he wasn't. He started out Tony's Chocolonely to attempt to change the chocolate industry. He's not part of the company anymore. He has concluded the mission has failed, and is very critical of his former company, saying they've lost sight of the aim: slave-free chocolate.

Around $5 and good chocolate

If they paid the farmers more they could just make regular shaped chocolate

Damn that's just an ad. There is no escape

This is my favorite brand of chocolate rn

The irregular pieces make it much easier to eat. You make a conscious decision how much you break off, instead of just getting another 4 squares.

First not sure why everyone is so sure this is an ad and not just OP likes this and the message.

I’ve contemplated posting about this chocolate, I guess we can’t call out companies we like and we just all shit on everything all the time.

Second, my friend called me out for paying £3.50 for a bar of this whenever we have a chocolate and film night when Cadbury is like £1.50. When I said it’s more ethically sourced he said I don’t care about that. 😞

Neato advertisement!

Products looks like shit.

It's also why I no longer buy it. It's a PITA to eat.
