If you’re also sick of US authoritarianism and aggressiveness, and don’t want to fund Trump’s cruel agenda, feel free to check out my list. Suggestions are welcome!

    For what it is worth, Nestle is notoriously known for being aggressive as well. To the point where it’s IMHO not a good alternative either.

      Yeah, for all chocolate I’d highly recommend buying something local, or small-scale business. The same goes for most food products, as much as possible.

    You seriously recommend Nestlé? One of the most evil companies out there. If any deserves to get a boycott, it’s Nestlé.

    To replace M&Ms, you suggest fucking Smarties?

    I have never once wanted M&Ms and been happy to find that all I had left were smarties.

    Edit: apparently, smarties in the US are nothing like smarties elsewhere.

      I don’t like neither of them TBH. But it’s the closest non-US alternative (which is the purpose of this list). I think Kraft-owned companies have various alternatives in different countries as well. Personally I’d go for small-scale local chocolate companies. More expensive, but in my experience better tasting and often less unhealthy (you actually get “dark chocolate” with less than 50% sugar and more than 50% cocoa).

        I posted that thinking it was US smarties, which are slightly-sour chalky candies. Smarties from elsewhere look like a reasonable replacement for M&Ms, ethics and quality notwithstanding (because Nestle)
