Same reason Yamaha makes both pianos and motorcycles
Tbf, they both sound really good.
And both of Dove’s products taste really good
Because one is a Unilever product and the other is Mars Inc.
It’s like saying Crystal Lite and Crystal hot sauce are the same company because they share a product name.
Sure, Unilever only owns Dove, the soap products. They also have a confectionary and ice cream line (e.g., Ben and Jerry’s), which begs the same question.
The logo fonts are similar scripts, I think that’s the primary source of confusion. That, and the comparable flavor profiles.
comparable flavor profiles.
I love you. Thanks for the laugh.
As others mentioned, different companies. More importantly, for non-US folks, as far as taste goes Dove is a bit better quality than Hershey garbage and even other Mars brands (M&M, Snickers) as it’s their “premium” chocolate, but it’s still pretty waxy and low quality overall. Given the price, that shouldn’t be surprising, though, you can get a bag of the stuff for just a few dollars.
American chocolates are generally sweeter, but not always low quality (nor vomitty, like Hershey’s); it can be quite good, especially if eaten slowly and with coffee or something. We sometimes bring See’s chocolates for Japanese relatives for a bit of a novelty, and funny enough a few of them actually like it more but I assume that might be an Okinawan thing.
Anyway, it’s like comparing a fast food burger to a restaurant burger, they’re completely different animals, figuratively speaking (and sometimes, literally, hehe).
Wait, hold up, Dove the soap company and Dove the chocolate company are actually two different companies??? One owned by Mars and one by Unilever??? When did this happen???
I mean, you can eat them both
Treat yo self
I figure this is a US chocolate (i.e. horrible shite) as I’ve never heard of it.
It’s even shit by U.S. chocolate standards, just to give you a sense of how bad it is.
I’m pretty sure the only bad chocolate is specifically Hershey’s? I’ve had imported chocolate from the EU and it tasted exactly the same.
EU chocolate sold in the US is not the same as the normal EU chocolate. The chocolate for the US market has higher sugar and less cocoa. They use inferior ingredients to reduce costs and make the faux-chocolate suitable for long transit.
Most US chocolates I’ve tried have that hideous vomit/bile undertone.
Dove supplies the complete cycle of life from cleansing yourself of evil/dirt to falling again for evil/sin/chocolate.
This leads to more important question: what is made from the production waste of other product? Chocolate from soap, or soap from chocolate?
Thinking about the chemistry, it seems a lot more reasonable to use chocolate waste as a fat source for making soap.
But from the capitalistic economics’ point of view it is a lot more reasonable to make chocolate out of soap waste.
