Tony's Chocolonely bars are shaped unevenly to represent farmer inequality and the coastline of Africa
"It doesn’t make sense for chocolate bars to be divided into equal-sized chunks when there is so much inequality in the chocolate industry! The unequally-sized chunks of our 6.35 oz bars are a palatable way of reminding Choco Fans and Serious Friends that the profits in the chocolate industry are unequally divided.
And in case you haven’t noticed, the bottom of our bars depicts the West African coastline. The chunks just above it represent the Gulf of Guinea. From left to right, you have Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Benin (terribly politically incorrect, we know, but we had to combine them to create enough space for a hazelnut), Nigeria and part of Cameroon."

I'm gonna be real here when I saw one of these bars for the first time I just assumed they were assholes and didn't look any further into why the bar wasn't cut in a usable way.
It literally tells you why inside the packaging.
Why the fuck would I ever read inside the packaging for a chocolate bar
Kinda hard not to see though. It has a massive font size and unless you’re just devouring the thing I don’t see how you couldn’t see it.
That said I read anything I can get my hands on when bored so 🤷
