minus-squarepeterpan520@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up20·10 hours agoI always thought Milka was from Germany or Switzerland. Originally, it was indeed Swiss, founded in 1901. However, the brand was acquired by Kraft Foods in 1990 and later became part of Mondelez International in 2012, a U.S.-based company.
minus-squaressillyssadass@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·6 hours agoMarabou is also part of Mondelez, to my extreme disappointment. At least Fazer is European.
minus-squareAsfalttikyntaja@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinksuomiarrow-up2·5 hours agoThat’s really annoying, because I like Marabou chocolate more than Fazer. But I think I get used to it 🤷

minus-squareDiplomjodler@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·10 hours agoYeah that’s the one thing I’m really going to miss. Milka has always been my favourite chocolate.

minus-squareDiplomjodler@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·9 hours agoLindt is right next to Milka on every supermarket shelf here. But I’ve always preferred Milka.

That was a surprise to me.
