This is the price chart of the Cocoa Futures Market; ticker: “CC” or “CH”
When chocolate prices spiked in 2023 due to climate driven shortages in West Africa, the big global manufacturers; Hershey, Nestlé, Cadbury, Mars, didn’t absorb the cost. They adapted.
They quietly started replacing real cocoa with cheaper sugar-&-oil substitutes, turning “chocolate” into hollow, flavorless garbage candy.
This isn’t innovation, it’s betrayal. It’s deceptive cost cutting. They are keeping prices artificially low while quality completely erodes & our taste buds & bodies pay the price.
