Hershey’s angers chocolate lovers by banning British Cadbury imports
The company recently made a deal to stop importation of U.K.-made chocolate bars to the U.S., and Cadbury fans are none too pleased.
The chocolate purveyors have successfully blocked importer Let’s Buy British Imports from bringing Cadbury chocolate from overseas into the U.S., as well as other chocolate bars, including British KitKat, Toffee Crisps and Yorkie bars.
Reaction from the public has not been kind:
My half-Yank, half-Brit kids love both Hershey’s and Cadbury’s. They don’t need a stupid chocolate war ruining things
