Because one is a Unilever product and the other is Mars Inc.
It’s like saying Crystal Lite and Crystal hot sauce are the same company because they share a product name.
The logo fonts are similar scripts, I think that’s the primary source of confusion. That, and the comparable flavor profiles.

I love you. Thanks for the laugh.
Sure, Unilever only owns Dove, the soap products. They also have a confectionary and ice cream line (e.g., Ben and Jerry’s), which begs the same question.
Was hoping someone in the comments had the answer, thank you (I am trusting and not verifying)
Wait, hold up, Dove the soap company and Dove the chocolate company are actually two different companies??? One owned by Mars and one by Unilever??? When did this happen???
Treat yo self
As others mentioned, different companies. More importantly, for non-US folks, as far as taste goes Dove is a bit better quality than Hershey garbage and even other Mars brands (M&M, Snickers) as it’s their “premium” chocolate, but it’s still pretty waxy and low quality overall. Given the price, that shouldn’t be surprising, though, you can get a bag of the stuff for just a few dollars.
American chocolates are generally sweeter, but not always low quality (nor vomitty, like Hershey’s); it can be quite good, especially if eaten slowly and with coffee or something. We sometimes bring See’s chocolates for Japanese relatives for a bit of a novelty, and funny enough a few of them actually like it more but I assume that might be an Okinawan thing.
Anyway, it’s like comparing a fast food burger to a restaurant burger, they’re completely different animals, figuratively speaking (and sometimes, literally, hehe).
It’s available in several other countries under the brand Galaxy
Wait… so you mean Galaxy is called Dove in the US?
By jove, they’re right! I looked it up and Galaxy has the exact same packaging. Description sounds the same but I wouldn’t be surprised if the recipe is less sweet.
Damn, that’s news to me

Slightly off topic but I loved Demolition Man as a kid (I think I watched like a few hundred times at least, we had it on a vhs cassette recorded when it came on tv at one point) and this scene always gave me a huge craving for those cheap shitty microwave burgers they sell at the store and every time I had those I’d pretend it’s a rat burger. 😂
To this day I haven’t tasted an actual rat burger but I’d definitely be open to try one if the opportunity ever arises just to get that out of the way and verify if it would actually be any good or not. I’m very open minded when it comes to food.
Why does Michelin make tires but also is the main organization that gives out the most prestigious awards/ratings for restaurants?
Why does Hitachi make reliable industrial vehicles and also sex toys?
Why does Yamaha make motorcycles and jet skis but also pianos?

And a bunch of other instruments too. I’ve played a Yamaha piano, electric keyboard, clarinet, trombone, AND French horn. They’re all just okay.
They definitely make saxophones too. Probably most of the orchestra lol
I have a Yamaha guitar from the 70s. It’s good.
thank you for the reminder that i’ve yet to be fully assimilated into american culture, had no clue that was a thing over there
It’s a thing in germany too and I got very confused the first time I saw the chocolate. But idk if they’re actually the same company
They’re both a unilever. I don’t think the same company does both internally; i think you’ll leave her wanted a premium chocolate brain and he tested well , that the dove customer base would also want the chocolate. Then both brands are supposed to be smooth and creamy so there’s synergy
you’ll leave her
chocolate brain
Speech-to-text moment?
This leads to more important question: what is made from the production waste of other product? Chocolate from soap, or soap from chocolate?
Thinking about the chemistry, it seems a lot more reasonable to use chocolate waste as a fat source for making soap.
But from the capitalistic economics’ point of view it is a lot more reasonable to make chocolate out of soap waste.
Dove supplies the complete cycle of life from cleansing yourself of evil/dirt to falling again for evil/sin/chocolate.
I mean, you can eat them both
