Bro didn’t even mention that the different pieces are the same shape as the country’s where the most kids are working
Oh yeah!
Bro did the research and forgot what the question of the video was midway through
That’s crazy 🤯 I’m glad somebody else brought up the point of the video 😂
I don't know if that's true or not, but it does say in the inside of the wrapping that the chocolate has unequal shapes since the workers get unequal pay (by other companies of course).
Jesus I thought I had a stroke or something because I missed the point. Thank you for clarifying
Fun fact: one of their hallmarks is traceable cocoa. One of their biggest struggles early in life was producing white chocolate which doesn't use cocoa but cocoa BUTTER (a byproduct of chocolate production). Cocoa butter is very difficult to trace the origins from. Instead of buckling under the demand and produce chocolate with questionable origins, they refused to produce it until they found traceable butter.
Another fun fact: their hazelnut bars briefly went out of production when it was discovered they weren't being harvested ethically. I can't tell you why they were using hazelnuts that were farmed using slavery, whether it was an oversight or their supplier made a change. Regardless, when this news reached the company, they stopped producing hazelnut bars until they could find a new, traceable supplier.
Oh that was some good fact to know. Now I really want to try their chocolate but those are hard to find here in my country and are really costly.
It's not an oversight. There is no profitable alternative to slavery. That's just how capitalism works. Look into the concept of "cheap labor".
Well not sure if you know this but many of those “inspectors” hired by nestle etc. simply warn them of their upcoming inspection so they can just make sure the kids are hidden for the day. Surprise inspections have caught many in a web of lies.

For those who didn't know, it's a dutch chocolate factory, that has the shape of the country of the farmers
Was looking for this comment
its also expensive as fuck lmao
Great quality too
@@Kerttisits expensive because the employees are paid fair wages, which makes them unable to cheaply produce the chocolate, its a small price for a better world
@@Kerttis Costs for small operations are always much higher. The massive conglomerates own every step of the process and pay everybody a part of them barely an acceptable pittance proportional for the countries they live in, in exchange for resources and labor.
Sure, the price comes out a few bucks cheaper, but the CEOs are also making millions more dollars per quarter than what this guy's taking in. And a lot of people have to be screwed over for it to be just a few bucks cheaper, cause of course the billionaire has to make their billions. Imagine the prices of all goods if we didn't have to account for these overpaid CEOs or the interests of investors (majority stake holders all being part of the same club and likely CEOs of other companies too).
Tony is the hero we all need, let buy his chocolate bars.
They are actually so so good oml
@@katelynfeima go buy some when I wake up
they are insanely expensive so no
@@KayThePlugif you look at the weight, there's a lot of chocolate in there. They are thick. Ounce per ounce it costs like a Cadbury or Hershey bar.
@@KayThePlugthey weigh 180-200g per bar though instead of the standard 100 grams

this also goes for vanilla beans. Kids are labor workers too, also adults. and they get paid almost nothing and vanilla is one of the most expensive spices in the world
Chocolate companies:WE HAVE BEEN LEAKED OF OUR SECRETS
It isn't a secret and anyone who buys it is more guilty than the company. We have more power than the company, far more...just less centralized...until we accept our choices are the problem (where we find a problem) it won't change. Whether or not a given thing should change varies with each case.

Tried one of their chocolates last week. Honestly one of the better chocolate bars I’ve had.
Agreed ❤️ it’s both delicious and fair to the farmers ❤️🤩
I love it
Yea it’s one of my favourite chocolates
Actually, Willy Wonka and the companies are similar. They both exploit little people who are paid almost nothing.
Best
Not only ethically made, but also some of the tastiest chocolate you can get. Highly recommend
Soo tasty! So pleased to see it in supermarkets now

Weirdest in the world🚫🚫🚫
Most wholesome ✅✅✅✅
Recently, Tony distanced himself from his namesake chocolate company after discovering that his goals and promises are not being fulfilled by the CEO of his company.
Yeah. I had done some research and it was shown a few years ago that the CEO had connections to a guy who was connected to companies like Nestlé and so the chocolate wasn't actually made in house
😥
🤦🏾♀️
Damn, he should've stayed as CEO
@@ZarHakkaror he should step in and take his company back
Another sad fact about this chocolate bar is that it actually says "Tonys chocoLONELY" because he feels that hes the only person who actually cares about helping out the farmers and combatting child labour.
he probably is the only one that cares :( big companies throw around the word ethical and anti slave for nothing but monetary gain. its all about profit. not one decisions most big companies does is ever done in any other name than profit.
Go read their website, it has the same double talk as all the rest. Is their product produced slavery free? Answer, no. Are they trying to get slavery out of their supply chain? Answer, yes. Does every other chocolate producer say the exact same? Answer, yes. Don't be fooled by the hype with this company they have been in and out of court defending false claims for a couple of years and now have the same disclaimers as the rest of the big companies eitchical brands.
Oh what nice guy, he totally made this company as charity not at all to make profit. Oh look all those shorts saying the same feel good story, one could call this advertisement. You guys are being taken for fools. In a world with billion of different chocolates and very narrow tight margins we have the Jesus-like dude coming to save us!!
@@stefsot2 i get what you're saying there is absolutely no real ethical consumption under capitalism, but this is really the closest we can get atm. also it's just nice chocolate 👍
@@themelnova This, it's fighting fire with fire. By no means do I think it's purely just and right, but it's about as damn close as you can get.
The first time I tried Tony’s Chocolonely I really felt like Charlie opening a Wonka bar 😂 they’re so big and the chocolate tastes sooo good. It tastes even better knowing it’s fair trade.
Bro the urge to say "womp woooomp"
after saying that most of farmers are kids
Tony's chocolate is also incredibly delicious, my favourite bars of chocolate
SAME!!!
The salted caramel gets me wet 🤤🤤
Same so good
My sister bought it once, I tried it and it was just not good at all and was hard as fuck
It is so good!! Especially the caramel one
Not only does it come from a good heart, it is also the best chocolate bar I've ever tasted. You can truly taste the love and passione coming through, I hope it'll get more representation
dude i discovered it like a few years ago and its been my favourite ever since, you can taste the golden hearts of the company :D
Got around to trying it recently, really damn good chocolate. Well worth the small premium over the usual brands because you get so much with each portion.
Bro it’s chocolate
@@trollwayy5981 I know
@@josephsb-job9740 then just chill out with the paragraphs, or don’t I don’t really care. It’s just a lot of world play for some chocolate lol
Those other companies need to learn that if you can't pay your workers a fair wage and especially if you rely on child labor, your company shouldn't exist
I wish this went viral. More people need to know. ❤
One more detail: if you cut them into pieces following the line that has left on the bar, it resembles the country that has the largest cocoa exports
Wait it makes Ivory Coast Map ?
they don’t?
@@theextramenu I might be wrong, but I remember theres a video that talks abt it

@@thereddestsuninthesky
Costs a fuck ton but is honestly one of the nicest chocolates I’ve ever had.
Your money supported a semi living wage as opposed to peanuts. You did a good thing
I got 2 bars for like ~$9 the other day which I think is fine. The other time I got it it was definitely more expensive though
the bars are plenty big and thick, I think they have fair prices! Rather pay for a chunky bar than pay for thin Hershey's crap! @@Celticsfor18th
@@Celticsfor18thwhoah, 4 dollars is quite a lot! They're like €2,70 in the Netherlands (where the company's from). I rarely buy a different brand, except for when i'm cooking.
its not that expensive compared to other chocolate bars on the same aisle.

They are clearly doing something right.
I thought Ben and jerrys are really immoral can't remember how
WAIT THATS A THING??? I DIDNT KNOW THAT IT MUST BE GOODDDD
The most expensive icecream in the world. They are clearly doing something wrong. Their mixes are not working at all.

Stop kidding yourselves.
@@markobighead3173Ben and Jerry’s offer the most delicious and unique flavors in the market when compared to anyone else. Who the fuck wants plain vanilla
Not only is it great to be able to support this but it is legitimately my favorite chocolate bar too.
Even tho it’s expensive, you gotta try. It tastes amazing.
Fun fact, his name is not Tony but “Teun” which is typical Dutch. When starting this chocolate brand, he got into contact with a lot of people who didn’t speak Dutch and thus could not pronounce “Teun”. He therefore opted to use Tony instead.
Dude shut up
Neat
haha yeah, i love this chocolate, glad i live in the netherlands, a lot more things here are better for everyone.
Huppatee jonges, Nederland staat weer goed op t internet
HAHAHA ECHT ZO!@@betmath
Tony's chocolate is so good and what a wonderful thing he is doing to make sure the farmers are paid fairly and child labor is not used. It is an honor to be able to support this!
I agree! I’ve seen Tony’s chocolates in stores but only recently learned the history behind the company. Because I wanted to support the company, I bought Tony’s advent calendar this Christmas. Omg! The chocolate is sooooo good! Now I will always buy Tony’s given the choice.
The orange one is the best
@@laylazut5385 Sea salt caramel? Yes!
From what others have pointed out it’s not all as it seems. It’s not being run like he set out to be. Just goes to show how anything can be corrupted and people will still just buy into the “dream” of it
It's a good story but the chocolate is disgusting..... I've tasted better baking chocolate
The hazelnut ones are literally so good. I’m glad that I’m supporting this instead of big chocolate
It’s really good but the salted caramel is no joke
There are literally salt crystal chunks and I was dying cause of how strong it was
His chocolate bars are really good for anyone wondering about the flavor. I’d highly recommend it.
The patterns are also a symbol of the shape of the nations he focuses on to solve the problem
And they are completely honest about the fact that there might be still some child or slave labour into their chocolate, but that they try their best to fix it.

Bro did not want people to make a chocolate glitch in his Chocolate💀💀💀💀💀💀💀😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Because the profit in the chocolate industry is unequally divided..?..
literally said it in the video lmao
It was my favourite part too
@@cryshunt7226 they didn't say anything about why the pieces are shaped the way they are however it looks like the founder said that one particular price he pointed out was large just like a big company
@@darinhilbern3444 unequal pieces = unequal pay in the industry. It’s a representation. The video did explain why lmao, put two and two together.
"kids are actually producing the chocolate that we love."
All the sudden Willy Wonka's chocolate factory seems even more like a WW2 POW camp disguised as Disneyland.
In the original incarnation they were an African Pygmy tribe from the "deepest darkest place of Africa", working for cocao beans as that was the only currency they understood.
While local workers were fired when Wonka found that tribe and hired them.
😂
“Sis want some chocolate”
“Yeah”
“Okay let me get you some”
Gives smallest piece in the bag
I can confirm that Tony’s chocolate is actually probably the best I’ve ever tasted
From how I heard it explained, the uneven shape of the chocolate is meant to illustrate how "uneven" the revenue of the chocolate itself is divided between the company and the farmers.
Nah, lets be real both the packaging and shape is only there to attract customers and look different. The sizes are different shapes so it's harder to keep to portions. E.g. With another chocolate someone might eat 5 pieces and feel guilty about the 6th. But with this one you eat one one piece as large as 6 pieces. But it's.. I mean you only ate one piece right so it's ok if you eat another ... lol
@@3choblast3r4 no, they represent different african countries, which harvest cocoa beans
If I remember right, it says this on the package. It also explains everything this guy said about people, mostly the children, being exploited to make most of the chocolate we consume around the world.
@@3choblast3r4 If you wanna be cynical about it, lol
Nah I think it's because he thought squares were boring

Chocolates in England often come with a fair trade logo on them
Let’s all start buying Tony’s and boycott all other chocolate companies.
Also, the chocolate slaps. Its expensive, but not exorbitant based on the size of the bars, and it's SO good.
You mean, like Turkish Taffy?
yeah, learned about it from Last Week Tonight a while ago, saw comments about its taste, saw it as special offer few days later and tried it myself. Its really delicious.
I think the price is worth it, making chocolate is not easy and I consider it a luxury item at that. And in the end everyone gets their fair share of the work
You can taste the freedom!
Actually looks to be around the same price as other high quality chocolates.
I love Tony’s chocolate I didn’t even know it had such a beautiful backstory to its creation either. It’s awesome to hear something so small, yet so humane and caring
It’s no longer ethical, it’s been remove from the list as they’ve been partnering with Barry callebaut..
Really? It’s written all over every package lol
That's interesting, I only get Tony's specifically because of their efforts. The chocolate itself is average but pretty reasonably priced.
It’s not everyday someone actually reads what’s on a wrapper.
It's all a lie anyways they found that they do in fact have child labour for their chocolate
Lidl sells a copycat chocolate bar in the Netherlands for cheaper. 😂
Is it made by children?
@@giantpinkcat Lol, idk. But it’s basically the same as Tony Chocolony. You can’t splits it evenly.
"Mom, buy me other chocolate, this one patched the endless chocolate glitch"
In the Netherlands you can find like 15-20 flavors in you local grocery store
Thats usually the case with products like this the origin country usually have the most flavors available

@@JustK4Y1512yuk, worst one imo
i like the part where he explained why the peices are weird shaped
To resemble the unfairness i think! The chocolate company represents the big piece the small are the chocolate farmers
There's multiple shapes sometimes, but the one i ate had the shape of the Western African countries (where the cocoa exploitation takes place)
I liked where he explain why the pieces were weird shapes even better
also the shape of countries with exploitation! eg at the start where we see the bar bottom left long piece is I think chile!!
eh i just think it looks cool, i've seen weird looking chocolate before
my mom brought these from her trip to germany, genuinely the highest quality chocolate i've ever tasted
Technically Willy Wonka was searching the world for a child worker. This is the opposite of Willy Wonka.
Anyone who says Tony’s are bad are fooling themselves
Tony's lost it's slave free designation
@@5eoddities765You could, idk maybe explain a tiny bit? Bit of a cliffhanger there
@@-Blueness- there is a list known as the "Slave Free Chocolate List" which promotes the use of Fair Trade in the chocolate industry.
A part of that criteria is to have your production line be 100% and showing to have come from fair labor practices. Tony's was on this list until about 2021, where the company lost it's designation because it uses the company Barry Callebaut, which had a lawsuit that same year from 8 former child slaves for being willful participants in forced labor
Tony's defended the partnership saying that it's necessary to make the chocolate to a large scale. But that's kind of like saying you run a Nazi-free hospital then employ Dr. Mengele
@@-Blueness-was removed from the list bc the company they work with (barry callebaut) is accused of slave labor
It's super expensive compared to other chocolates though, I've never seen the self go empty at my local supermarket.
Man this makes me love Tony’s even more. I’m already obsessed with how good their chocolates are.
sadly tony broke away from his company when he learned that they are involved whit child Labor
@@baronbrummbar8691 dang, that’s sad
Hahahahaha.
Real life Willy Wonka? Willy has humanoid things that come from a far away land doing unpaid labor.
Tony's chocolate is a favorite in this house and he has such a variety. It's nice to know you're buying from a company focused on those who put in the hard work in order to create a superior product; something most of us enjoy.
Wow, this guy is actively working to protect children and make sure adult workers get paid fairly. I know his chocolate is more expensive than most others, but I think it's worth it because it is ethically sourced. What a kind man...❤
That's my man Tony. Proud to be Dutch
I was surprised when i saw Tony Chocolonely in a short lol. Netherlands needs more mentions fr
it isnt even that expensive to other brands
There is a reason companies use child labor, instead of supporting this somewhat less exploitative form of labor why not agitate for systemic change..
This guy is running a business, he will NOT take any action that hurts his bottomline and profits, please keep that in mind.
It actually tastes fire 🔥🔥 AF, worth the price
Tony's chocolate is so good and knowing his mission makes it even sweeter.
While it is good chocolate, he's said they're not 100% slave free anymore and I don't remember which, but it was taken off an ethical (and slave free, i think, don't remember) chocolate website.
I'll be honest it's so do-goody and liberal I kinda get annoyed with it, lol. I love the chocolate, but I'm like, dude, just keep your politics to yourself 😂 but it's good chocolate.
It’s not a mission though. It’s more like a sales gimmick. If it was a mission, the company would provide alternative educational opportunities for those children or viable economic recourse for their families. One company with this policy won’t change the economic conditions of communities where families can’t survive unless young children work.
It tastes like freaking salt 😂😂

Fun fact: like some others said the name Tony comes from the Dutch name Teun. They chose it since Teun isn't an easy name to pronounce when you're not from the Netherlands were Teun/Tony originates from.
Teun (van de Keuken) is from a Dutch journalists program (Keuringsdienst van Waarde) that tries to show how consumer products are produced. Some producers cooperate some try to hide some things for more or less obvious reasons.
So an episode about how chocolate is made turned into a mini series within the program. Eventually they initiated with Teun the brand Tony to try produce chocolate that doesn't use slavery and child labour. The rest you know thanks to this short. 😊

@@redmizt666 state the sources
@@squidwardstentacle
Linking sources is not possible on CZcams. But to give the short version, this brand started working with Barry Callebaut which is not slave free. So the brand was removed from slave free chocolates list. Now the reason varies by source. Tony's chocolonely has informed about this on their website. They do not claim to be 100% slave free, but aim to monitor and create traceable chocolate. Rather than some bigger companies which have untraceable chocolate. Quote "Last year we found 387 cases of illegal child labour and remediated 221.
I'm ordering some right now! The world needs more of this kind of business model! Big businesses have been exploiting humanity for too long! Companies like this give me hope that humanity will pull through!

Tonys Chocolates also cost an arm and a leg. Now I know why
And still use slave labor
Just did a bit of research and it's surprising to see that Tony's might not be as impactful in their mission as they claim. In contrast, giants like Hershey’s and Milka not only have a larger influence due to their size, but they also seem to have stricter oversight of their cacao sources, which is crucial for ethical sourcing. They're not just about words; they have robust programs actively benefiting their farmers, showing real commitment. Taste-wise, I'd say Hershey's and Milka bars are superior, offering that classic, satisfying flavor. Tony's, despite their compelling marketing and strong stance against slavery in the cacao industry, seems to lack the same level of transparency and results when you dig deeper. It's essential to look beyond the marketing and evaluate the actual impact and practices of these companies.
Last I checked Hershey’s was still refusing to say they don’t use sources that use child slaves. And were involved in a lawsuit with other companies about it. Unfortunately the judge had to dismiss the case because the people who had been child slaves couldn’t provide a direct trace from the cacao to factory, which doesn’t mean all those chocolate companies are innocent but rather points to the limited resources of a bunch of ex child slaves, and the judge noted that it was too broad so they if they did rule for them it would mean a lot of other people and companies liable when they just sell the product in their store
@@Nevertoleave Appreciate the dialogue. It’s critical to understand that Hershey’s and Milka have indeed faced past criticisms but are now among those leading the charge in improving the chocolate industry’s ethical standards. They have committed to comprehensive programs that increase traceability and reduce unethical labor practices, showing tangible progress. On the other hand, Tony’s, while excelling in marketing their stance against unethical practices, may not have matched the larger scale impact that Hershey’s and Milka’s resources and efforts have achieved. This isn’t to say that Tony’s efforts are insincere, but rather that the larger companies are making substantial strides that merit recognition and can potentially lead to industry-wide improvements.

Not a fan of Ben and Jerry but my respect to them for that
the companies don't turn the cocoa into chocolate, the workers do, we all know this money isn't going to those workers either
There is a kid out there going dam this fool is messing up my pay check!
Finally Tony is making chocolate I look forward to this and I support it. Chocolate farmers should be getting paid for the best chocolate being made.
It’s no longer ethical, it’s been remove from the list as they’ve been partnering with Barry callebaut..
So glad you explained why it has those weird shapes
Good news. Good company. You look like Tony!
As someone in the Netherlands, these are soooo good.
