Cadbury to be taken over by Kraft

See BBC News for more details.

Cadbury, the last of the great British confectioners is going to be brought by Kraft. There is divided opinion in the UK over the issue, following the loss of companies from many different industries in previous years of Rowntree's to Nestle, Terry's to Kraft, MINI to BMW, Aston Martin to Ford as well as the slightly out of date one, Tussauds to Dubai International Capital (Tussauds is now part of Merlin Entertainments).

Cadbury was a historically a Quaker company, which looked after its employees well. They even built a town called Bourneville for the employees, the name is recognisable as the name of the dark chocolate produced by Cadbury. There are fears over the future Kraft has intended for these employees.

This deal has finally happened after a bidding war between Hershey's and Kraft for Cadbury. At any rate, I hope you Americans like chocolate, I think you will be getting some more soon.
