    The dumbest part about suing godiva over their branding is that the people who sued don't even realize that Hershey took cocoa butter out of their chocolate because they can sell it to cosmetic companies for far more than a chocolate bar is worth, and they replaced the cocoa butter with a cheap synthetic emulsifier instead.

    • @saalank

      @@saalank They replaced cocoa butter AND soy lecithin because both were rising in cost.
      What is PGPR? On the label you will see it listed as an emulsifier. Polyglycerol polyricinoleate is a yellowish, viscous liquid comprised of polyglycerol esters of polycondensed fatty acids from castor oil. Now, doesn’t that sound delicious?
      You’ve likely heard of soy lecithin before. It is really the darling of the food-processing industry. It is hard to find a packaged food that doesn’t contain soy lecithin. Soy lecithin has long been used as an emulsifier in chocolate. Over the past few years, the cost of soy lecithin has been increasing, as the demand for the non-GMO version of soy has increased worldwide. So, the chocolate manufacturer’s way around this more expensive ingredient is to find a new less expensive emulsifier, and that’s where PGPR comes in.
      In addition to using PGPR to replace soy lecithin, in 2006 chocolate manufacturers began replacing the expensive raw ingredient cocoa butter with PGPR in their recipes. PGPR replicates the mouth-feel of cocoa butter and is more shelf stable than cocoa butter. This reminds of trans fats - where trans fats were used because they mimicked the mouth feel of creamy fats, while a the same time they were highly shelf stable.
      PGPR is made by the chemical giant Palsgaard. From Palsgaard’s website, “Cocoa butter is an expensive raw material for chocolate manufacturers. By using PALSGAARD 4150 (which is PGPR) the chocolate recipe has lower costs in terms of less cocoa butter…” In other words, PGPR is a way for chocolate manufacturers to get around the hassle and expense of actually putting chocolate in their chocolate.

      I work at a funeral home and this family is threatening to sue us over a life insurance policy.
      We buried their mother last year and it's about 8 siblings. They couldn't find the physical copy of the policy so they been demanding that we give them a copy. We called the insurance company and they been telling us they can't give us a copy, only the family can be given one.
      The problem is that on the original policy none of the siblings are beneficiaries on it and they need to sign some papers work to have the policy amended. So for almost a year we been trying to get the siblings to sign the paperwork. Only one has and the others refused to.
      We haven't been paid for that service by the insurance company because of this, so we had choice but to submit them a letter that we will be taking them to court over the matter. Just yesterday one of the siblings showed up and handed over a letter stating because they haven't gotten the policy, they are going to sue us and the insurance company. They even had the nerve to add that if we try to defame then in anyway over this, they will add a defamatory lawsuit as well...🤦‍♂️

      A lot of food like this is made in independent factories. The factories produce multiple batches of product, then quality test it and give it a grade. Grades can depend on things like color, taste, consistency, level of contaminants, etc. The major food brands like Nestle, and Russel Stover have contracts with these factories that state they will only take a certain grade of the finished product. Usually the "pricer" the food brand the better grade chocolate they have contracted but its no guarantee. I have a friend [majored in organic chemistry] who worked in testing/QC department of a chocolate factory. I've heard some very interesting stories from his time there.

    While I agree with the larger point, I disagree about the Godiva chocolate. I have spent time in Belgium - so I can find it on the map - and they are renowned for the quality of the chocolate made there. The two most famous brands - Godiva and Neuhaus - are world-famous. While the companies heritage may be Belgian, their products should be clearly marked as made in the US.

    • @matthijslenaerts9423
      @matthijslenaerts9423 2 года назад

      It probably does say so on the product somewhere on the back, just as it does on foreign beer brands that reference their home town on the front end. I mean, the Godiva label says "Belgium 1926", but apparently they didn't assume their chocolate was made before the Great Depression too. Godiva is owned by an American company though, even if it wouldn't surprise me if part of their product development still happens here, but Neuhaus is still a Belgian-run company and holds a royal charter.

    Lawsuits are what makes America an economic powerhouse (Europe too). Companies push the ethical boundaries all the time, and lawsuits are what keep them relatively honest. Americans can buy products in stores with confidence that the product is what it says it is, and the product is safe when used as intended. Lawsuits like the potato skin one are important because it forces the manufacturer to compete fairly. Let’s say I make REAL potato skin snacks. My product will probably fail if other companies can sell fake potato skins at half the price - not to mention the competition using ingredients people might not want to eat.
    Lawsuits are what allows companies to be confident that a contract will be honored not only legally, but in spirit. We have all bought shoddy products, but our lives don’t depend on shoddy products because fear of lawsuits keep companies from cutting corners.

      @@brendanwatroba8568 - True, but that assumes the plaintiff settles (which is usually the case). However, even settlements make the news. How often have you read “The company has settled for $1 billion without admitting wrongdoing”? Were you ever convinced a company would part with a billion bucks if a jury wouldn’t have probably awarded more? Also, a huge settlement is a deterrent too.
      You’ve probably read or seen “Fight Club”, and the “formula” is partially true. There is a safety test called “the moose test” which many trucks and SUVs fail. The test is to see if a vehicle will roll if the driver steers VERY quickly to one side. This isn’t really a “flaw”, but an inherent problem with having a high center of gravity.
      I think the days of “the formula” are probably in the past. It’s just too hard to keep a secret these days.
