Although I sometimes read 50%, I'll go with the lower figure of 43% of chocolate comes from Africa (Ivory Coast) and the use of child labor (servitude or slavery if you will) is all too common. Below is a link to a current report from the United Nations.

Probably from one of those "exotic shops"... but if you're in Mikkeli the selection and variety might be a bit restricted.

Well I think is nothing to do with slavery supporting. The "slaves", who can be so from themselves (owners of land) seem to be happy in their task. Maybe is more racist to suggest that only because they are black and they are harvesting stuff they are inmmediatelly slaves!
Cola cao is a product that form a big part of the Spanish culture when it comes to childhood experiences of many generations. There´s even a song related with an add which goes like this: "I´m that little black, from the tropical africa, who harvesting was singing the song of cola cao"!!!

O´boy is not the same, but you can always tell your mother to send you a box with Spanish stuff, like many do.
However, in Finland threre are also nice things
