A thread on what happens to UK Mars Bars if a hard Brexit happens (bad things), due to today's massive reliance on cross-border flows and just-in-time sourcing.

Also a thread full of UK citizens (presumably, or possibly Russian bots) who can't or don't want to believe this

Mind you, people have been warning for decades now that maybe all this just-in-time-ing isn't very wonderful when it comes to crisis situations and maybe we shouldn't be so proud of it.

@natecull "UK cocoa processing capacity is only around 35% of demand and virtually all is aligned to Mars competitors."

So as a consequence of the UK leaving the EU without a deal, Mars bars go away and Mars, Incorporated's competitor's chocolate bars are all we can buy. I'm shocked by how banal this topic is.
