Can someone explain to me what is this warrant list? What does it bring to companies in it?

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 14 points 3 hours ago

It's like "the official chocolate company of the Philadelphia Eagles".

The warrant enables the supplier to advertise that they supply to the royal family.

This shouldn't come as a surprise. Since its takeover by Kraft/Mondelez their chocolate has become poorer quality. As soon as the Cadbury name was being licenced to various other diversified food products (ice cream, cakes etc.) it was a sign of what was to come. Sad. Still not as bad as Hershey's though.

Surprised it didn't happen sooner. Americans don't do chocolate well. They should stick to going to the moon.

Hey! Do you Europeans not appreciate corn in your chocolate or something?!

[–] Archer@lemmy.world 2 points 31 minutes ago

You put a bit of corn in their bread and they legally declare it cake. Can’t win with them

I'm not being snarky, I swear. But Cadbury eggs were/are super gross. Were those made in America for Americans and you get a different product?

[–] egrets@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

Creme eggs have been around for 60-odd years. They're crazy sweet and not very high-quality – especially after the Kraft acquisition, as it's not even Cadbury's Dairy Milk any more.

What you get in the US are smaller and made over there by Hershey, so frankly they're probably as bad or worse, but you're not missing out on much.

Why does anyone give a shit about a parasite's tier list? Charlie don't like Cadbury? Meh.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 2 points 7 hours ago

Oooooookay then.
