10 Chocolates in England and the USA - A British view
Alice's father was named Albert Douglas Thornton. Thornton like Thornton's chocolates.
"When I was a little girl they manufactured toffees, but now they've reinvented themselves."
Loudon remembers: "Thornton's Duncan's chocolates, small companies as well as Terry's."
Alice says, "Rowntrees and Bourneville, we've sold to the Americans. I remember in 1966 Loudon being me a Cadbury's chocolate and it was sickly sweet, the company have a different recipe for every country. Loudon spoke to the lab or research department and they explained Americans have it made by Hersheys, the recipe modified for Americans who like it sweeter. To us it seemed sickly.
On the East coast they travel long distances by car and sit all day. You never have chocolate in California. They are all slimming and doing exercise. Going West you get the Thais and Malays."
