Cadbury Chocolate breaks relationship with HERSHEY Chocolate Company

[Melensdad]

I have a long professional history with Hershey Chocolate Company, being a former distributor of their products in the midwest, I was once treated to a VIP tour, spent a day at the Hershey Orphanage, which was founded because Milton Hershey & his wife love children but could not have any of their own. The orphanage owns the largest block shares and controls the voting of the company. I had long admired the company as an astonishing capitalistic company, geared and focused on making a healthy profit, and then using the profits for good.

But over the past decade the woke culture took over. It has gotten more pronounced over the past few years.
Apparently the legendary Cadbury chocolate company, from England, which, I believe, has been distributed in the USA through a licensing agreement with Hershey, has taken notice of the values shift? I don't know this source, I do know that Cadbury has been a hostile take-over target by Kraft; Hershey has also tried to take the company over.

Cadbury Ends Partnership With Hershey Due To Clashing Values​

/ Neque / By Chaudry Badar​

​

Cadbury UK has officially cut ties with Hershey, stating that the two companies have different values. This comes after a controversial incident involving Hershey’s use of a biological male on the wrapper for International Women’s Day. As a result, Cadbury CEO Joe Barron announced that Hershey’s license to manufacture and distribute Cadbury products has been revoked.​

​

Hershey’s stock has already taken a significant hit as investors opt for other options, with the company losing millions. It appears that consumers are now looking for brands that align with their values, and Hershey’s association with controversial decisions is not helping its case . . . ​

​

Cadbury’s decision to sever ties with Hershey demonstrates the growing importance of brand values in today’s market. . .​

I'm enjoying watching these businesses shoot themselves in the foot over their woketard policies. Bed Bath & Beyond is filing for bankruptcy. It was revealed today that Bud Light sales are down 21% after being up 5% during the Super Bowl. Gin Mill sales of Bud Light are down a whopping 30%. I just love watching this and laughing my ass off at these corporate idiots who seem to know as much about business as my Yorkshire Terrier.

Screw Hershey's, they used to have a plant in Oakdale Ca. Oakdale is a small town not far from where I live. They closed the plant about 20 years ago and moved it to Mexico for more profits. Oakdale every year has the Chocolate festival as well as the Oakdale rodeo. A family Business Sconza Chocolates has moved into the plant and make upscale chocolate products, much better than Hershey. They are also one of my customers. There products are all natural. Many kinds of Chocolate covered dehydrated fruit, strawberries ( my favorite ) cherries etc. as well as Chocolate covered nuts and coffee flavors. I am not big on sweets but I do eat a piece now and then.
