Tony's Chocolonely bars are shaped unevenly to represent farmer inequality and the coastline of Africa
"It doesn’t make sense for chocolate bars to be divided into equal-sized chunks when there is so much inequality in the chocolate industry! The unequally-sized chunks of our 6.35 oz bars are a palatable way of reminding Choco Fans and Serious Friends that the profits in the chocolate industry are unequally divided.
And in case you haven’t noticed, the bottom of our bars depicts the West African coastline. The chunks just above it represent the Gulf of Guinea. From left to right, you have Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Benin (terribly politically incorrect, we know, but we had to combine them to create enough space for a hazelnut), Nigeria and part of Cameroon."

Absolutely disgusting chocolate in my opinion. Chalky and bland. It’s nice that they claim to be about equality, but the product itself just isn’t to my taste. And yes, the dumb way they make these bars also really puts me off.
I just want a normal, boring bar that tastes nice. And this is not the brand for me.

Tony's doesn't taste like european chocolate.
European here and it does to me. It’s my go to chocolate.
Which ones? The Tony's i had was chalky, mealy, and bland and didn't even really taste like chocolate, milk or dark. It's not remotely like anything I've had from Europe. I've not had everything from every country there but I've had stuff from the UK, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Belgium. Not sure I've had other countries, maybe spain, but not sure, but I know I've had several brands from those ones i listed.
Yeah same, I like their ethics, don't like the product very much.
That was my experience with it as well. I'm surprised to see it around still honestly. Worst chocolate I've ever had from feel/texture to taste.
