Cadbury Schweppes, the world’s largest confectionery company with 60,000 employees has completed the purchase of Dan Products (Botswana) (Pty) Ltd. who make the Stimorol and Dirol brands of chewing gum in Botswana for sale in South Africa for £33m ($62m) in cash.In 2005, Dan Products' revenue is forecast to be £9m, and earnings before interest and tax of £3m.

In late 2002 Cadbury Schweppes bought Adams confectionery in the UK , acquiring chewing gum brands Dentyne, Chiclets and Trident, as well as bubble gum brands Bubblicious and Bubbaloo.

In June 2002 Cadbury Schweppes plc acquired 100% of the branded chewing gum business of Dandy A/S ("Dandy") from the Bagger-Sørensen family in Denmark for £201 million (€310 million). Dandy was the fourth largest chewing gum manufacturer in the world.

Combined with Cadbury Schweppes' existing chewing gum businesses, this acquisition makes Cadbury Schweppes the second largest player in the European chewing gum market, with No 1 positions in France, Denmark, Belgium and Switzerland and No 2 positions in Russia, Sweden, and the Netherlands. Cadbury Schweppes also has leading positions in several other markets, most notably Turkey, Argentina and China.

Additionally, for £23 million (€36 million), Cadbury Schweppes acquired a 25% interest in Dandy's contract manufacturing facilities based in Vejle, Denmark.

Dandy's branded business had a reported turnover of £164 million (€253 million) in 2001.

Big tits if you chew gum

In a squalid justification of this saucy picture, Japanese confectionary company Good One Ltd. claims that their B2 UP when chewed three or four times a day, can increase breast size, improve circulation, reduce stress and fight aging. The powerful ingredient is the Pueraria Mirifica root extract also known as Gwao Krua, and is indigenous to Thailand and Burma. The plant’s underground tubers contain a number of chemicals called Phytoestrogens, natural compounds which are said to mimic the effects of the female sex hormone Oestrogen.

The company said tests carried out by Thailand’s Chulalongkorn University found Pueraria mirifica therapy was able to enhance breast size up to 80%.... the report failed to say if this applied to both sexes.

You can if you wish extend your interest in Stimorol and nudity by viewing their very funny "Kiss off" Euro ad for this summer here Not safe for office ...or another that is.. here or their VERY controversial poster campaign at the top.
