Thank God we didn't buy Hershey! Disgusting stuff to my taste (although they actually manufacture and distribute Cadbury-branded to a local recipe in the USA). Cadbury was ripe for takeover the moment it demerged from Schweppes. 'We' didn't have any say who purchased Cadbury's - the takeover by Kraft was largely funded by RBS which, as the time was owned by UK taxpayers having been bailed our by Gordon Brown's government. Hershey's simply rejected the $23 Billion offer for their company as inadequate. |
