Tony's Chocolonely bars are shaped unevenly to represent farmer inequality and the coastline of Africa
(lemmy.world)
"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."
There are literally hundreds of them. Maybe the availability is different in your area but I can guarantee you that they are not the only one. But regardless you are missing the point.
It's good for a company to be ethical but if you can't sustain a business enough to make a difference then it's pointless. At the end of the day, a business is there to make a profit. If you ignore majority of the customers and focus on the small fraction who cares about ethical products enough to make compromise then you can't stay float for long.
It's a good novel approach to raise awareness but the cost for it is too big, that was my point.
Bro it's just uneven pieces of chocolate it's not that of a big deal. Clearly they can sustain a business because I'm encountering their products more and more often. Apparently they don't need the support of people like you who nitpick about every little thing so go ahead and buy other brands if that's what makes you happy.
