Interesting design, by the colours and font it actually looks American.
I’m now curious to try but it doesn’t seem to exist in Spain, sadly.
Red, white, and blue are the colours of the Dutch flag.
Those are also the colours of the US flag, the obnoxious font is very reminiscent of Texas hold’em salons, and let’s be honest Tony is not a Dutch name at all.
Look, I totally get it man, I’m just as propagandized as anybody else to just associate certain patterns to US products.
I thought it was American as well. It’s on our shelves. I love the background… the chocolate itself is pretty damned good, and I do not often have sweets and candies.
Maybe in your local bio/eco shop, since they’re made from ‘slaverly-free’ cacao they might be too expensive for a regular supermarket to make a profit on them.
In Austria they started selling in all big shops maybe like two years ago. At least that’s when I realized them. I love the chocolate and worth the price for me :-)
