Nudossi > Nutella
You’ll be better if you don’t eat any of that shit, European or not.
Haribo makes chocolate?
they make chocolate covered marshmallows
Katjes instead of Haribo any day.
Meh, both good. Trolli too.
With the current price of cocoa impacting supermarket chocolate, I encourage everybody to check out prices at specialized shops. I’m buying excellent chocolates (“bonbons”) at the same price of store brand regular chocolate bars.
Phew! If Nutella ever goes evil, I am so utterly fucked.
Unfortunately you are fucked. Child labour for nut picking and unethical palm oil to get your depression started.
Somehow, I already knew something like this would be happening… We simply cannot have nice things in this world.
Oh, Tony’s is European? I’ve been trying to cut it down but you leave me no choice but to keep supporting them…
Yep, it’s a Dutch brand!
And they have their own fair sourcing of cocoa with no slave/child labour
I thought that they couldn’t guarantee that, which is why “slave-free” had to be removed from the advertising?
Maybe a bit niche, but Klaus are my absolute favourite in the entire universe.
Good, not including Nestle.
Instead of corporate, mass produced chocolates, please consider locally made, small batch chocolates if you truly want to support your chocolate industry. Also, its so much better.
Several years ago my daughter’s school had a trip to a (small, local) chocolate factory.
For part of the trip the children queued up to dip a marshmallow into a vat of chocolate to taste it.
My daughter was one of the first in the queue, ate hers and went to the back of the queue for a second one… I was so proud 😁
How many drowned?
Who got the factory at the end??… is the workforce paid???
Ah, it was full health & safety… large stainless steel vat containing hot molten chocolate, rotating stirring paddle, steps (unsecured) up to an open inspection hatch… but they wore hair nets…
And, I think they had that policy where all the staff could take as much chocolate as they wanted… so of course, all got sick & tired of that and never took any more.
Did you sign an NDA and this is the only version of the story you are legally allowed to repeat?
(I’m glad for stories like that - I lived visiting factories/companies and farms throughout all school days. Kids need to understand what the production factors are & how logistics connects us all.)
… What’s the consensus on Läderach? Awesome chocolate, but…
What did I miss about Läderach?
Chocolatier Läderach wird für seine homophoben und frauenfeindlichen Positionen bekannt

If you google around a bit they’re apparently very fundamentalist religious people. The type we’re currently criticizing in the US.
Come on! I just moved to Switzerland! I thought it was some wholesome swiss company. What else do I need to avoid?
Nestlé, UBS, Fifa, Glencore… Olten… 😬
Three of those are obvious. Just learned about Glencore. But why Olten? Afaik that’s just a city?
Yes, it’s just a meme.
So off topic, but what did Olten do? Help me integrate by dissing the right cities.
Oh good. Some of those are my go to sweets.
As a european, who may or may not like chocolate a little too much, I concur.
Why would you get any of these when e.g. E. Wedel and Wawel exist? Poland has some of the best chocolate.
Never heard of Polish chocolate. Will have to find and see if I can get any way over here.
Can recommend Canadian choc as well: Purdy’s and Laura Secord at the very least.
someone at work brought in Polish chocolate. i scoffed at first but then tried it. really good.
edit - checked when I got home. it is E. Wedel.
Who the fuck is buying Hersheys outside of the States anyway? Some sick fucks who enjoy the taste you get when you burp and throw up a little?
Nah, anyone in Europe who’s eaten chocolate that’s made from actual milk would automatically reject that shit out of hand. In fact, I’d sooner eat the abomination that Cadburys has become since they got bought out by the Yanks.
Butyric acid in case anyone is wondering. Literally a product of digestion, so you taste it when you throw up:
Highly-fermentable fiber residues, such as those from resistant starch, oat bran, pectin, and guar are transformed by colonic bacteria into short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) including butyrate, producing more SCFA than less fermentable fibers such as celluloses.[13][21] One study found that resistant starch consistently produces more butyrate than other types of dietary fiber.[22] The production of SCFA from fibers in ruminant animals such as cattle is responsible for the butyrate content of milk and butter.[23]
They literally put vomit flavor in their chocolate!!!
