Rowntree's

Like, I would think Snickers-

Kit Kat was made by Rowntree from 1935 to 1988, and then Nestle Hershey's took over after that.

Don't remember it.

So tough loss.

Now, a lot of people know York as the UK's chocolate capital.

You have the massive legacy of Terry's and Rowntree's.

You think of York, you think of chocolate oranges and Kit Kats.

Of course.

Look, you didn't invent the M&M.

You copied Rowntree's.

And okay, here's a reveal.

Sorry, American listeners.

And of course, Forrest being Forrest creates some unbelievable story about he discovered M&M's in the Spanish Civil War, you know, while he was on the front line, no doubt, you know, under the shells.

Not true.

He took it from Rowntree and Smarties.

But you can't take the way, the story they're telling away from him.

Yes.

In the 1920s and 30s, the British chocolate industry was dominated by two massive titans, Cadbury and Rowntree's, and the competition between them was not friendly.

No.

It was cutthroat.

He closes the gates and fires all his human workers because he is bleeding proprietary tech to his rivals.

The mechanism of the plot is entirely driven by ruthless corporate defense.

The rumors of Cadbury and Rowntree spies became the fictional reality of Wonka's world.

Wow.

Finally, these.

Next up, we have Rowntree Fruit Pastilles.

Nah.

Nah.

They're...

I think they are.

Rowntree.

Okay.
