no, because it makes ppl think that they are actually helping slave children when in reality it doesnt on any significant level and anesyhtizes you from actually doing something impactful instead of just eating chocolate.

He called the chocolate "chocolonely." He's a lonely man and his name is Tony. He wants you to be all alone in the world.

Greetings, Golden Ticket Winners, and welcome to Tony's Chocolonely Factory. Come see the wonders of my river. It's just a regular river with no chocolate in it. And here are some squirrels. They're just normal squirrels. And this is my television. It's a smart TV. My Netflix account is useless because there aren't any good movies. Here are my workers. They're normal people and they don't dance or sing. They don't know poo poo about making chocolate either. At night they go home to their loveless marriages and weep.

A lot of people aren't even aware of the problem of labor in the chocolate industry. These bars are both fair trade and educational. I can't see anything bad about that. If capitalism drives somebody to stop buying $2.50 chocolate bars because they feel ashamed of abusing the third world, then that is good. I don't get how any of you can sit there and be like 'NO. THIS IS ACTUALLY BAD. I DON'T WANT THE PRODUCERS OF COCOA AT ABOCFA AND ECOOKIM TO MAKE ANY MONEY FOR THEIR COCOA. I HATE FAIR TRADE, IT'S MEANINGLESS.'

Dude...chilll...and hit this:

Nobody made him name the bar "Chocolonely." He did that his own drat self. Nobody held a gun to his head. He was just sitting there one day and thought to himself "I want people to associate my chocolate bar with loneliness."

I, Tony, being of sound mind, want you to think of painful social isolation and despair whenever you think of my chocolate. My ideal consumer is a woman or man who has been abandoned by their friends and family, probably forever. My marketing strategy will be to place my chocolate bar on a desert island and sink passing ships with my submarine.
