The Story of Kinder Chocolate
How Kinder Chocolate Began
The idea for Kinder Chocolate started in Alba, Italy, in 1968. A man named Michele Ferrero wanted to create a treat that kids would love. He also wanted it to be something parents felt good about.
A Treat for Kids and Parents
Michele Ferrero came up with a clever idea. He decided to make a chocolate bar that had lots of milk. This way, it would be tasty for children and also seem healthy to their mothers. This led to the famous slogan: "+ milk - cocoa." This means "more milk, less cocoa."
Launching Kinder Chocolate
In 1968, Kinder Chocolate was first sold in Germany and Italy. It was a milk chocolate bar with a special milky filling. The name "Kinder" was chosen because it means "children" in German. This made it a brand name that could be understood in many countries.
Growing Popularity
Kinder Chocolate quickly became very successful. Soon, it was sold in many other countries across Europe. On the packages of Kinder Chocolate bars, you can often see the face of a child. This is meant to show that the product is made especially for kids.
