Cadbury have upset some people by making a bar of many colours.
I've had a look online and it's already sold out l Which is a shame as I want to do my bit to end racism.

Hopefully we get a UK version to unite the nation.

I know it's fun to look at this and think, "haha, what a bunch of snowflakes, upset by a chocolate bar," but given what's going on in Assam and Kashmir right now, this is tone deaf marketing by Cadbury's.

What unity? The kind brought about by fascism?
Great example of tone-deaf "woke capitalism".

The white chocolate looks kind of wrong. It’s the wrong colour.

The bar itself is great but the marketing around it is bloody absurd.
Then again I did purchase a bag of GAY PRIDE SKITTLES this year. The meaning of them being all white was completely lost on me, nor did I care enough to google it, but they had novelty value nonetheless. I'm sure just by holding the bag in my hand I was immediately woke off my tits.

It's the best kind, you uncultured swine.
Dark > Milk > White > that new Ruby gooseberry fool that is clearly just while with added red food colouring.

I'm just not sure using chocolate when it comes to race is a savvy marketing exercise given chocolate has been used as a racial slur.
That said, I always find it bizarre when corporations try to monitise equality campaigns. It just feels a bit grubby.
