Thanks MrsMondragon, I know you meant well, but when you read the small print, it says "sample is one piece of chocolate, one per household!" One piece! Can Cadbury's (I prefer the 's') spare it? Surely they can afford to give away more than this, considering the vast profits they're making from using dirt cheap (or enslaved) African child labour? :mad: A convenient and cheap way to get 150,000 people's name, address and e-mail details though, eh?

AND ... you can't actually call what Cadbury produce "chocolate" .. not like real stuff, is it.

Thankyou from me too. I think 119 thanks must be nearing a record, surely?

MrsMondragon

119 is definitely not a record...ive got 239 so far on the railcard offer:

MSE isnt about thanks, its about sharing what you find and taking what others have found. Im very sure their is a lot higher than 239.

Hi darkteckno, looks like it's Cadbury's! The report you found is an old article (dated 17th April 2001).

In a report dated 29th March 2007, The Independent newspaper, states: Children are being forced to work on cocoa farms in west Africa despite a pledge by the chocolate companies more than five years ago to start eradicating child labour.

In 2001, after an international outcry and a warning from the United States Congress, the global chocolate industry signed an agreement known as the Cocoa protocol. At first they promised to have made serious inroads towards ending the problem by July 2005. But they missed their targets, and Congress gave them three more years. "That deadline came and went and we were very unhappy," said Eliot Engel, the Democrat congressman who initiated the protocol. "They now need to live up to that agreement. If they don't we'll make a decision in 2008".

The BBC also have an updated report (written 3 days ago) that provides more information: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6575713.stm
