I always thought Milka was from Germany or Switzerland. Originally, it was indeed Swiss, founded in 1901. However, the brand was acquired by Kraft Foods in 1990 and later became part of Mondelez International in 2012, a U.S.-based company.

Mandolez aquired Freia in Norway a few years back and switched out the chocolate they used. One of the things they ruined was the traditional «kvikklunsj» - was just overall sad :(

The same with Cadbury (originally founded by English Quakers, now owned by a Putin-fluffing US multinational)

That sale should never have been allowed

Marabou is also part of Mondelez, to my extreme disappointment.

At least Fazer is European.

That’s really annoying, because I like Marabou chocolate more than Fazer. But I think I get used to it 🤷

Yeah that's the one thing I'm really going to miss. Milka has always been my favourite chocolate.

If you liked Milka, you should try Lindt! It's from Switzerland.

Lindt is right next to Milka on every supermarket shelf here. But I've always preferred Milka.

That was a surprise to me.
