America’s Revenge
Today it was announced that Cadbury agreed to a takeover bid from Kraft foods. The Brits have resisted since September, but the bid became too good for the chairman to refuse.
The British public is aghast at the thought that an American multinational could take over this 186 year old institution. For my part, I’m concerned that good old Cadbury chocolate might become corrupted by this ubiquitous American food processor.
The deal won’t be final until Cadbury shareholders hold a vote. All we can hope, until then, is that the British stage their own version of the Boston tea party.

Got something to say?
Do you mean to say that everything the US touches does not get better or is big business the ruin of imported chocolate candy?
I mean to say that I don’t trust big American business with chocolate candy, imported or otherwise. Some commercial grade chocolates by Hershey’s have been altered to include oil as a substitute for cocoa butter, presumably as a cost savings.
