Get a load of this.

I'm british and I know our chocolate is superior, but this is absurd.

You have a BROKEN ASS legal system, you do!

uhh... Wow... What the crap?

[AlwaysFSX]

Hahahaha, that's funny. Hersey's is mad that their chocolate is terrible. I just hope they don't ban Milka.

[twoscoops]

Definitely confirm that British chocolate is superior. Sucks for you America.

Herseys is only good for smores but that's it. It absolutely fucking sucks otherwise.

'Murica...

[Ivyk]

Because 'Murica

[Albatross]

Well, technically it is an infringement, so it isn't really surprising at all. It doesn't mean our legal system is broken.

 

That said, I don't like the idea of competition being pushed out. And good chocolate. :lol:

Chocolate neutrality should be a thing.

[Ertman]

you mean its better than the Mexican chocolate right? Ya, I know its an American recipe.

[Psykomantis00]

Cadbury is gross. 

[Tacitus]

I tried Hershey's when I went to America.

 

Tasted like wax.

[SeriouslyMikey]

But Cadbury's is now American. Isn't it? I thought it was bought out a few years back.

[jamese669]

but cadburys is suppiror.

Ehm, it is wax.

[zappian]

Total biscuit wont be pleased.

 

[KE2012]

Haha, out of all the chocolate I've tried I have to say Galaxy is by far the best. Feel sorry for you guys over the pond if you are limited to certain chocolate just because of where its made. 

[MoDtEc]

u know what wuld be funny?

if that was a case after the ttip was set

then a EUROPEAN company wuld be the first one to go to curt because of AMARICAN prohibition of free market

everyone wuldve been shocked  :blink:

[Scionyde]

Eh, I always thought American Hershey's and British Cadbury chocolate were pretty meh.

 

As long as I can still get my Toblerone...

[felixbearpig]

guys... the real victims here are the KITKATS lovers

[Geekazoid]

First Samsung and Apple with their products and now Hershey's with their chocolate, seriously? *facepalm*

[Tacitus]

Seriously though, how is anyone ever supposed to pursue "the American dream" and be enterprising in a country that so blatantly privileges the well-established monopolies/firms?

[Tacitus]

 

 

Toffee Crisps and Yorkie bars – both produced by Nestlé in the UK – also fell victim to the deal: the former because its distinctive orange, yellow and brown packaging too closely resembles that of Hershey’s line of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups; the latter because it infringes on the trademark of the York peppermint pattie, a chocolate-coated mint confection also made by Hershey’s.

Silly Americans...

I've been to the US A few times and Hersheys is far from being as good as Cadbury's Dairy Milk.

 

Why do you think that Hersheys hasn't attempted to get into the UK Market? Its because they wouldn't have very good sales here.

 

Toblerone is amazing! Atleast you guys get that

 

However Hersheys stopping Cadburys Chocolate from being sold in the US is simply absurd It's like if in the UK We blocked Commodore and Atari from entering in the market due to Amstrad and the ZX Spectrum blocking them.

 

Being able to do that will ensure that companies which have no right to have their market share stay on top, its stopping any competition from competing, Hersheys its called improve your product to compete not just stone wall your competition out of the country.

 

Freedom, Justice and the American Way. Those three points is a joke when the US Government allows things like this to happen.

 

TL:DR Cadburys chocolate is awesome so FU US Government.

[Shroomster]

At least we get to keep our Fazer chocolate and not the sugar paste you guys have to deal with.
