"It doesn’t make sense for chocolate bars to be divided into equal-sized chunks when there is so much inequality in the chocolate industry! The unequally-sized chunks of our 6.35 oz bars are a palatable way of reminding Choco Fans and Serious Friends that the profits in the chocolate industry are unequally divided.

And in case you haven’t noticed, the bottom of our bars depicts the West African coastline. The chunks just above it represent the Gulf of Guinea. From left to right, you have Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Benin (terribly politically incorrect, we know, but we had to combine them to create enough space for a hazelnut), Nigeria and part of Cameroon."

    I love it, but I feel obligated to say

    No, it makes sense. I understand, but it makes a lot more sense

      It doesn’t make sense for cars to have 4 equal sized wheels when there is so much inequality in the auto industry.

        Staggered setup vehicles are the true champions of justice, urging us all to get a grip on inequality within the industry.

      Ok but this is a good way to raise awareness about the issue. Many people will pick these bars in the store without knowing much about the brand. Then when they eat it, they will probably wonder why it’s divided like that and the explanation is right there on the inside of the wrapper.

        And then never buy them again because they are difficult to break evenly. Great idea but poor execution imo.

          lol imagine sharing your chocolate bars with other people, tssk (/hj)

          fr tho if that bothers you, the inequality that comes with other chocolate brands should bother you too

          not saying Tony’s is 100% fair, but at least they put in a lot of effort to make it as fair as possible
