    Chocolate!!! I bought some cadbury today as they now advertise on their packaging 'Fair Trade' product.
    Is that all Cadbury now or just a certain type of choc they produce?

    How exciting if it's all of it!!

    Mmmm, I wonder which hot choc is ok??

    You can make hot chocolate the old fashioned way - cocoa and sugar in milk. Heat and stir and remove just before boiling them chuck in a few drops of vanilla )gotta source a fair trade cocoa for that though lol)
    I used to buy and awesome hot chocolate in a dark brown and gold tin that was organic and fair trade. It was a bit expensive which was a good thing because it stopped me from drinking much lol.

    It made me THINK when I was shopping yesterday, instead of throwing stuff into my trolley willy-nilly.

    'No not that, that's Nestle..no, that's Uncle Toby's... no, that's Loreal'...

    The really hard part is looking at home-brand stuff. I am assuming that if all the sweetened condensed milk is made by Nestle, it's a fair bet that the homebrand one is from them, too

    At least if you buy the home-brand one you will be cutting their profit margin.

    Good point supersonyx! Condensed milk had me stumped as i knew that Nestle were the only company that made it!

    I can't believe that they are still the only company that makes it though even after all these years. Golden Circle is no longer australian, heinz brought it just recently.

    Trillian- It's a bit strange isn't? I wonder if they have some sort of copyright or something over it?
