    It is always difficult to see great British companies on the list:

    • Walkers
    • Cadbury’s - I went to Uni in Brim and lived on land donated by the family (no bar allowed because they were Quackers), then by the chocolate factory (smelled sooo good) and used Bournville train station (painted in the company colours), so feel some connection to their history

    Luckily, I’ve cut sugar and crisps out of my diet, so I was already boycotting them. Kind of.

      Walkers became popular after they were bought by Americans. Smiths and Golden Wonder/Tayto are the casualties

      Kraft buying Cadbury’s - a part of every Brit died that day. I bought it once since and will never touch it again. They ruined it.
