Hershey moves to ban U.K.-made Cadbury chocolates in U.S.

For more than 30 years, importers of British goods brought English Cadbury Chocolate into the United States, but as a lawsuit between American chocolate behemoth Hersey and British importers draws to a close, fans of milky English bars of chocolate are anticipating a permanent dry spell. Vladimir Duthiers reports on the looming ban.

Cadbury is times nicer than Hershey’s. There is no competition

[paulspydar]

wow! I thought America was all about capitalism & competition ? Seems almost communist to ban chocolate!

[liukin]

Hershey's making Cadbury chocolate? I'm British and I'm sorry but if Cadbury isn't making Cadbury chocolate then it isn't Cadbury, it's Hershey's in different packaging.

Its because european chocolate is better than american generic chocolate.

[stillsearching]

So instead of making better chocolate, Hershey's just uses the government to ban the competition.

America and the world loves the taste of British Cadbury milk chocolate. Love always finds a way! :)

[xsagex]

hershys is just jealous of Cadbury is better than them

[smithcourtney]

The guy who works in Hershey said the Cadburys recipe is similar to their recipe! How come when I taste Hershey I wanna vomit but when I taste Cadburys I enjoy it!

you dont see american chocolate being banned over here in britain, because no one buys that shit its disgusting, no competition.

[aimeelee]

American people are just jealous that British people have better chocolate than them

Even my body knows the difference... whenever I eat Hershey's Milk Chocolate, I break out in hives. Give me Milka, Toblerone, Lindt or Cadbury (from UK) and I won't breakout in hives, breathe heavily and itch. I hope my favorite European store still sells European chocolate.

Imagine being so petty that you have to get competitors banned

Cadburys beats Hersheys hands down. Hershey's is awful.

[charlieyerrell]

Hershey cannot stand competition. They have gone crying to the us government.

[randomish]

I tasted hersheys once.. it tasted like plastic, i used to eat chocolate as a kid and uk chocolate is amazing.

[SirVoltz]

Hershey is just greedy for money that's all

[vesperal]

What happened to free trade? The British branch have had their rights to free Commence violated. They should sue for even more money. Is all about the money, Chocolate consumers would be losing access to a better product and should sue for trade options. The U.S. and Europe are negotiating a free trade pact this clearly violates the spirit of any open negotiation.

In the 1980s Hershey paid 300m for control of Cadbury's US operations, so I expect this is how they are able to (attempt) to enforce such a ban

[Kit_Bear]

Have you noticed that they edited out the critics opinion? I wonder why?!

[AnnoyedDragon]

If as they claim their chocolate is comparable, they wouldn't have to resort to anti-competitive tactics like a ban.
