Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

Cadbury's was a fine British company that treated its workers well (they built an entire town called Bournville) and paid corporation taxes in the UK.

Then some nice people who make plastic cheese - Kraft - bought it, breached an undertaking to the British government by sacking a load of people and then offshored the profits (and the taxes) with tax dodging accounting and split into Mondelez International. Kraft now own Heinz too since 2015. Berkshire Hathaway are big owners of these fine purveyors of diabetes and obesity etc.

If you want to know who thinks Heinz baked beans flavoured chocolate is a good idea, look no further than your own countrymen. Look at the picture too, it's 3.5oz / 99 gram. That's does not look like a British market label.

After your comment recently about an Australian child abuser not being necessary on a Cambodia forum, you must surely be trolling with a post about Brits and baked beans & chocolate on a Cambodia forum?
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

not even a good photoshop, try harder lol

I do like Heinz, Chivers and a few other brands of baked bean though - despite not being a Brit

Ayam and all the sweetened baked bean tinning companies can go jump off a cliff though

Bean and franks are great. Not sure about chocolate, though.

99g label on a 160g bar is a bit of a giveaway.

Nope. A real dish. New England speciality.
