Thereafter, one of many nice international enterprise rivalries unfolded as every chocolate maker tried to dominate its home market and innovate new recipes for chocolate that might set it aside from its rivals. The competition was filled with dramatic contradictions: The Cadburys have been austere Quakers who discovered themselves making hundreds of thousands from an indulgent product; Kitty Hershey might hardly have been extra flamboyant but her husband was moved by the Cadburys custom of philanthropy. Every was a product of their distinctive time and place but they shared one factor: they need to make one of the best chocolate on the earth.
