Product Information

Despite its status as wholesome family fun, Monopoly’s history is riddled with controversy. Officially, Monopoly was invented in 1933 by an unemployed salesman, Charles Darrow, who drew the first board on his kitchen tablecloth. Square names were apparently based on Darrow’s childhood memories of Atlantic City, hence the famously misspelt name of ‘Marvin Gardens’ (a formal apology was issued to the residents of Marven Gardens in 1995). Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory predates almost all my political knowledge, and the capitalist undertones of the novel could hardly be interpreted and analysed by a seven-year-old. As the question of class and race became an increasingly conscious factor in my political outlook, however, the connotations of the Oompa-Loompas being shipped from Africa and paid in chocolate did not sit entirely comfortably; and yet my limited knowledge of socialist ideas and the history of the slave trade meant that most of this allegorical meaning was lost on me.

Let us see how this applies to the situation in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The Oompa-Loompas are paid by Willy Wonka – the business owner – in chocolate. Immediately we can see the exploitation. Imagine that a single Oompa-Loompa makes, on average, 10kg of chocolate in a day. But these hard workers are then each paid with just 2kg of chocolate, leaving 8kg for Willy Wonka, the capitalist, to sell at a profit. But, on the verge of realising his vision, John’s second wife dies. Her death in 1855 drives him into a deep depression. In 1860 the Cadbury’s dissolve their partnership and a demoralised John hands over his deteriorating business to his two sons, Richard and George. John will dedicate the rest of his life to civic and social work till his death in 1889. THE NEXT GENERATION Computer Space The history of coin-operated video arcade games began not with a whimper, but with several explosive bangs, rendered in simple… A friend of Layman’s explained the game to one Ruth Hoskins, who moved to Atlantic City in 1929 and claims to have made a version with street names from the New Jersey city in late 1930. Friends of Hoskins apparently demonstrated the game to a hotel manager from Germantown, Pennsylvania. This couple then introduced the game to Esther Darrow, who had lived next door before marrying Charles Darrow.Otherwise, they will control everything everywhere and we will come to a point where we cannot sell our product to anyone else but them,” Demir said. ‘I needed the cash’ In 1899, Richard dies unexpectedly. But by the time of his death the Cadbury factory has trebled in size and now has 2,600 employees. The company becomes the Cadbury Brothers Limited and a new younger generation bring the latest business ideas from analytical laboratories to assembly lines. But no matter the innovations, George is his father’s son. He continues to plough his profits into social causes like pension reform and to pursue his pacifist philosophy against the Boer War.

(AFP Photo) We present to you...the perfect present for the board-game-loving-chocolate-obsessed...this chocolate version of the world's favourite board game. Perfect for parties all year round, each box of Monopoly comes with a version of the game and Belgian chocolate playing pieces. Through the 1960s America’s candy market was largely regional. “You ate the candy that was produced in your town,” recalls Dave Wagers, owner of the Idaho Candy Company, one of a dwindling number of independent candy makers in the country. Candy was a sprawling and diverse industry at that time, run by confectionery tinkerers who tirelessly stirred and tweaked to dish up new sweets. To distinguish their creations, producers pegged treats to national sports stars, disgraced politicians, or even the local preacher. There was the Winning Lindy bar for Charles Lindbergh, the Dr. IQ bar for a ’30s radio quiz show, and the Oh Henry! bar named after the guy who moved barrels of corn syrup at one manufacturer’s candy plant. In Akyazı, where farmers dry their harvest on tarpaulins spread across their front yards, producer Şimşek said he wants to break his dependence on the Italians as soon as he can. Game Boy Gaming companies had launched primitive and clumsy portable consoles in the past, but it was the arrival of the Nintendo…Turkey exports about 300,000 tons of hazelnut to the world. How strange that only foreign companies earn profits from this business,” he said with bitter irony.

Russ Sifers is the owner of a candy company near Kansas City that makes Valomilks, vanilla milk chocolate cups of semi-liquid marshmallow, created in 1931 under his great-grandfather. Sifers says he’s long considered introducing a line of dark chocolate Valomilks but doesn’t believe today’s market structure gives him a real shot. “I’m fighting for my life getting one item on store shelves, how the hell am I going to get two?” he said.But the diversity didn’t last, as the bigger players began eating up their smaller rivals. Hershey bought up Reese’s in 1963, a prelude to later purchasing Twizzlers and Almond Joy. Nestle followed suit, snapping up brands like Goobers, Baby Ruth, and Wonka Bars. The companies that escaped or resisted the buying spree found themselves now competing with fattened giants. In one instance, the Heath Bar – enormously popular by the late 1970s – caught the eye of Hershey, which asked for rights to produce the candy. When Heath declined, Hershey bought the original recipe from another company and introduced the Skor Bar to compete head-on. Heath Bar sales fell, and the company struggled until it was acquired, first by a Finnish company and then, ultimately, by Hershey.
