Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate

Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate was founded in Birmingham, England, in 1905. George Cadbury, Jr., decided to make his chocolate bars with more milk than the competitors, which made for softer, smoother chocolate.

By 1914, Cadbury had become the best-selling chocolate in the UK.

In 2008, it was discovered that melamine was found in some Cadbury chocolate bars. Cadbury admitted that it had been using some milk from China, which was later discovered to be contaminated.

In July 2019, the company introduced a chocolate bar that contained 30 percent less sugar.

The company received criticism for their ad which features two men sharing a creme-filled egg and kissing in February 2021.

The chocolate is now available in many countries including Kazakhstan, China, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan.

Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate maintains a corporate office in Bournville, Birmingham, UK.

Wrigley Corporate Office

In 1892, William Wrigley, Jr. began placing a package of chewing gum inside a can of baking powder. Soon, the gum became more popular than the baking powder. Wrigley reorganized the factory to make it produce more gum than baking powder.

In 1921, Wrigley also became the owner of the Chicago Cubs.

Originally made from chicle from South America, the company stopped purchasing chicle from Guatemala and now uses synthetic rubber, which is significantly cheaper.

In 1974, a supermarket in Ohio became the first company to add a UPC bar code reader. The first product sold using a UPC was a pack of Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit gum. In 1984, the company was the first to introduce a sugar-free gum, Extra.

Today, the company sells its products in more than 180 countries, with production facilities in 14 countries. Mars, Inc., one of the largest candy-making companies in the world, acquired Wrigley in 2008.

Wrigley’s original factory in Chicago was recently overhauled and made into a warehouse distribution center.

Wrigley’s annual revenue in 2007 was $5.389 billion.

The corporate office for Wrigley is located in Chicago, Illinois.
