Introducing Our Project

    Hey guys! What’s going on? Welcome to our first post here at Chocolate Traders! The team and I are really happy to be starting this thing up. Before we get started we should formally introduce everyone here at Chocolate Traders. First, there is yours truly, Nick Suckle. I am currently researching about Mars Candy. Now the thing that intrigued me about Mars was that they are the biggest chocolate producing company in the world and I wanted to see how they made their products, if they promote fair trade products, and just start to understand what goes on behind some of my favorite chocolate products that are out there.

    Our second writer is Adam Langmeyer. He is currently researching Nestle. Adam was initially intrigued with Nestle due to his favorite chocolate bar being Butterfingers. He decided to further research the company when he learned that there is more to the company than chocolate. He not only wants to learn about chocolate but also how some of their other products are traded.

    Our third writer is Brendon Meek. He is currently researching Divine Chocolate. Brendon heard about Divine chocolate and realized that he had never seen one of their products. He decided to look a little into this mysterious company and found out some pretty interesting details. One of these details being that they not only promote Fair Trade products, but 45% of the company is owned by their farmers. He wants to look in and see how this affects the company, where the company was originated, and how and where it is spreading.

    Our fourth writer is Deanna Martin. She is currently researching The Hershey Chocolate Company. Deanna actually has a little history with Hershey. Her mom was born and grew up in Hershey, PA and actually had a job shoveling coco for the company. She has decided to continue her research into the company to better understand what they do and what they are about.
