It saddens me how many British classics are now owned by American companies or Nestle.

"Valeo Foods" who own most of the traditional brands like Barratt's, Fox's mints, Barker & Dobson, Mojo, Poppets, McCowan's and a ton of others, is actually owned by US Republican Mitt Romney's company Bain Capital (which isn't even a publicly traded company).

Mondelez' acquisition of Cadbury's everyone knows about already, and Mars was American to begin with even though all their best items originated in the UK.

Terry's also got bought by Kraft/Mondelez but they've since been sold to a French company, which I guess is better than most of the alternatives.

As far as I can tell, Tunnocks are pretty much the only British chocolate left.
