Yes its crazy, time to hit Thorntons
it's amazing how many brands this company now owns, whatever happened to the monopolies commission?

i say vote with your pocket, find a new favorite munchie, check out the chocolate in the organic shops, they might cost a little more but the quality is the best.
Another unsavory company that a lot of people boycott is this one and all their many brands

yeah, this boycotting lark isn't as easy as it sounds, especially when a single company owns so many brands.
Giving up Flakes and Creme Eggs, which i've been devouring for over 30 years won't come naturally, Cote d'Or elephants are heaven sent, that's going to be a tough one. When i had a cough it always seemed a good reason to stock up on Halls Blackcurrent drops, and now i discover that my eco refuge of Green & Blacks Organic chocolate is even owned by Kraft.
Old habits die hard as they say.

I'm boycotting buying anything Kraft/Cadburys from now on, fuck em.

Yeah I've always boycotted Kraft, because they make Krap foods.

I was just looking at the products page and apart from the cadburys range (I haven't bought any since Kraft took them over so they dont count) the only other thing I've bought that Kraft produce are the chocolate oranges and the milka bars (more chocolate) so my concience is pretty clear.

i like milka, but i can also switch to lindt... but theres no substitution for oreos...
