      You can pay extra to get fair trade certified chocolate that promises the company uses only a little bit of child slave labour, as a snack.

      You can go back, you just have to convince yourself that you need treats more than those unseen-by-you children need their suffering alleviated. The human brain is surprisingly good at this

      Holy shit. I was today years old when I learned that it’s not called Tony’s Chocolate Bars.

      I feel like I Mandela Effect myself.

        If the website is to be believed, you’re probably fine. Basically, gluten is not an ingredient in their regular chocolates, but they still share a production line with some gluten products, so there could by tiny trace amounts. If you’re just talking about a gluten intolerance or Celiac disease, trace amounts should be tolerable, right? Or do you have a more serious allergy?
