New Cadbury 'Unity' Bar Promoting Diversity With Four Different Kinds Of Chocolate Is Getting Roasted

In this day and age, you might think that a message promoting unity would be well received, right?

Well, the thing is, it has to be actionable.

What is the message doing to actually bring people together? Is the company donating to charities that would benefit struggling groups? Or is it just a message for the sake of patting themselves on the back?


With Cadbury, it seems to be the latter.

Cadbury released an advertisement promoting a chocolate bar that brought together four types of chocolate in one bar:

The bar, released to promote India's Independence Day, blends dark chocolate, blended chocolate, milk chocolate, and white chocolate into one bar.

Its limited release seems like a good gesture in theory, but really, is it enough?

A significant portion of the internet have raised eyebrows.





Also, there is another simple question: why is the bar segregated?






Among the bar's critics is self-described "ex-teen heartthrob" Devon Sawa, best known for his roles in Final Destination and Casper, The Friendly Ghost.

Sawa tweeted:

What a brilliant business plan!




While Cadbury's message was supposedly made to address colorism and the caste system (which divides society into four main categories—just like the bar divides its chocolate into four categories), the message did not come through in such a way that made sense to consumers.





Better thoughts next time, Cadbury. Until then, Kendall Jenner and Pepsi can commiserate.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.

Adams jumped on the latest Instagram trend this week, sharing his version of a “morning routine” video with his followers. The trend, which has already begun to fade, typically features sped-up clips of people going through their early rituals—complete with edits, ambient music, and timestamp overlays.
