Skeletons in their closet and actively using slave labor are very different things, not that I blame you entirely, it's not your fault companies like nestle own so fucking much it's impossible to keep track of.
So do I, do yourself a favor and find a local candy or chocolate shop. They'll probably have something that is basically the same thing but vastly superior and not nestle. I know you're just being a troll at this point but seriously do.
Wasn't trying to, have a good night man.
It's a bit different to grab a snack at the counter (that's likely partly produced in your country) than wait 1-2 months for a product to even arrive. Call it a convenience factor or whatever.
That said, I don't know what kind of labor AliExpress goods use. Haven't used them for a couple years but if I knew for sure (maybe someone here knows?) they used slave labor for example I probably would just choose to use some other company (which probably is just as likely to have unethical practices in some point of their supply chain tbf).
Sure I agree to a degree but choosing a product which you know uses 100% slave labor to save a penny is downright evil. (And this is exaggeration obviously before anyone butts in.)
