Where have all the candy bars gone: A brief meditation on the Kit Kat Dark, late-model capitalism, and loss

Article Abstract:

The effect of the late-model capitalism on the candy industry is explained where it was observed that the big companies either drove away or purchased smaller companies, thus resulting in the disappearance of various types of candies from the market. The big companies in the candy industry namely, Hershey's, Mars and Nestle bring out variations of their popular products as well as new products but if these products do not perform as per their standards, then their production and sales is stopped, which results in dissatisfied candy fans.
