@kirkpadmore: The story of how a Trinidadian entrepreneur took on Cadbury and won. In 1974, Arthur Lok Jack acquired Charles Candy and set his sights on breaking Cadbury's grip on the Caribbean chocolate market. His weapon of choice? Catch... A caramel and crisped rice chocolate bar originally made in Dublin, Ireland in 1976. He brought the brand to Trinidad, manufactured it locally, and didn't just compete with the global giant, he took the market. Then he exported Catch back to Europe, the US, Canada, and beyond. That's not just a business story. That's a Caribbean takeover. 🍫 Caribbean chocolate history | Trinidad business | Arthur Lok Jack | Charles Chocolates | Catch bar | Made in Trinidad | Caribbean entrepreneurship | Black business history | Food history | Trini content | Caribbean content creators | Small island big moves

A catch is like $8 now and the bar itself is smaller than ever. Price higher and product smaller. Pick one. I no longer buy catch.

I still remember the ads from the early 1980's ~ Catch it if you can, with young people tossing candy to each other.

U should have added the tariff contex that allowed the growth of local brands. Heavy protectionism and tariffs in place on non Caricom brands back in the 70’s. Cadbury is a mass market product but was minimally available and priced as a premium product at the time. The combination of protection against imports and low cost of local manufacturing provided important preconditions for the manufacturing successes of the 70’s
