It was a chocolate raid, and we're not talking about Oprah's Book Club storming through the candy store during that time of the month.
We mentioned before that there was a suspicion that chocolate makers in the US were colluding (for those of us who slept through our Econ 101 classes, that means they agreed to fix prices). Apparently, it's a global thing, as Germany's antitrust organization raided and seized documents from the offices of Nestlé, Kraft, Mars, and Ritter Sport last week. The Federal Cartel Office had reason to believe that the candy makers agreed to not undercut one another in raising prices of their products. What information comes out of the seized documents has yet to be seen.
Bummer. I was hoping they marched into those offices and ran off with crates of Mars bars.

That is possibly the most tasteless thing I've read on this blog. Yikes.
