For this post I am going to be telling you
about Nestlé. Nestlé first began in 1867 by Henri Nestlé in Switzerland. He
started by making milk for babies who were unable to be breast fed. Nestlé
opened its first factory in the UK in 1901 and joined companies with Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company in 1905. Due
to the milk and chocolate being a success, Nestlé released its own coffee,
Nescafé in1939 and turned out to be a big hit as it was much easier to make
than other coffees. Nestlé continued to join with other companies up until the
1980s, when they bought also bought Rowntree's, who originally made some of
Nestlé's most famous products, Kit Kat, Smarties, Aero and more. One of the
most iconic things about Nestlé is the logo, which originates from the meaning
of Nestlé in German "Little Nest". The logo has undergone minor
changes but is still very recognisable.

The most popular chocolate bar in the world is Cadbury’s
Dairy Milk. It was first released to the UK in June 1905, and by 1914 it was
Cadbury’s best seller. There is said to be a glass and a half of milk in every
half pound of the bar. The chocolate is made by blending milk powder with
sugar, cocoa butter and cocoa mass. Cadbury originated in Birmingham, England
and has spread all across the world. Cadbury’s produce the Dairy Milk bar
everywhere except for in USA, where the Hershey Company produce
it. Dairy Milk’s original wrapping paper was pale mauve with a
red strip but decided to change the colour to purple in honour of Queen
Victoria. In 2008 they were able to trademark the purple wrapping due to the
distinctive shade of purple and were able to stop rivals like Nestlé from using
it on bars and drinks. Cadbury are also very well known over the years for
their good and memorable advertisements so I am putting in a link for the top
25 ads they have made, enjoy!

Hello, this blog is about the geography of chocolate. It is well known around the world that chocolate is a tasty treat, so I am going to be posting about where the inputs come from, how the chocolate is made, and the final product. I will be doing this for chocolate brands such as Cadbury, Nestle and Lindt.
