The Story Behind Nestlé Milk Chocolate
Why Was It Made?
Nestlé Milk Chocolate was created to compete with other popular chocolate bars. One of its main rivals was the Hershey bar, which was very well-known in North America. Nestlé wanted to offer a similar type of chocolate bar.
Comparing Chocolates
Nestlé makes many different kinds of chocolate. The Nestlé Milk Chocolate bar was quite similar to another product called Nestlé Crunch. The main difference was that Nestlé Crunch has crispy puffed rice mixed in. Nestlé Milk Chocolate, on the other hand, was just smooth chocolate.
You might also know a chocolate bar called Yorkie. Even though Nestlé makes Yorkie now, it's a totally different chocolate bar. Yorkie was originally made by a British company called Rowntree of York. They made it to compete with another famous chocolate, Cadbury Dairy Milk.
Nestlé also produces many other popular chocolate and syrup brands that you might recognize!
