Chocolate: A Complex Story of Status, Empire and Big Business
We’re looking at the global story of chocolate. First, we discuss how the idea of chocolate changed through the centuries — what it meant for Aztecs, how the Europeans intentionally moved away from these origins, and how this story draws parallels to the introduction of chocolate in China in 1978. Then, we discuss the two titans of America’s chocolate industry: Hershey’s and Mars. We follow their origins, their joint projects, and the better missteps that led to one of the fiercest rivalries in the business world.
