Brexit might be so bad that Cadbury is stockpiling chocolate just in case

London • Britain is scheduled to leave the European Union next year, but it still hasn’t reached a deal on how exactly this could happen. If it leaves Europe without a deal, some experts have warned that there may be chaos at the borders and a shortage of key goods.

On Tuesday, the owner of the beloved confectionary brand Cadbury announced that the company has a plan to deal with the threat of this dreaded “no-deal” Brexit: a chocolate stockpile.

Hugh Weber, the president of Mondelez Europe, told the Times of London newspaper that while they hope British Prime Minister Theresa May can reach an agreement to allow the free flow of goods with Europe, they had a contingency plan in case no deal is reached before the March 29 deadline.
