LONDON — U.S. food giant Mars said Thursday that it will buy British chocolatier Hotel Chocolat for £534 million ($662 million), as the brand seeks to boost its international presence. "We know our brand resonates with consumers overseas, but operational supply chain challenges have held us back. The announcement sent shares of London Stock Exchange-listed Hotel Chocolat soaring more than 160% in early deals to 366.50 pence by 9:30 a.m. local time Thursday. Hotel Chocolat is primarily U.K.-based, with 124 shops domestically and several others overseas. "We are confident that Mars will be an excellent long-term home for Hotel Chocolat, providing a like-minded, entrepreneurial and purpose-led environment in which to maximize the potential of the Hotel Chocolat brand which is already so beloved by consumers," Andrew Clarke, global president of Mars Snacking, said in a statement.

☆ Bud Light boycott is the talk of the town at the prestigious Cannes Lions ad festival

Mike Moore | Getty Images Entertainment | Getty ImagesBud Light's ill-fated Dylan Mulvaney collaboration dominated conversations among marketers gathered in southern France for the Cannes Lions advertising festival this week. But according to Sarah Kate Ellis, president and CEO of LGBTQ+ rights organization GLAAD, Bud Light's lack of engagement did exactly that. "What Bud Light did was they had a trigger response and they ended up alienating everyone," Ellis told CNBC's Tania Bryer Wednesday. In May, Bud Light lost its top spot in the U.S. beer market, falling behind Constellation Brands' Modelo after sales slumped 24.6% year over year. A 'wake-up call'AB InBev's chief global marketing officer, Marcel Marcondes, said Monday that the months-long Bud Light boycott had been a wake-up call for the company.

☆ An Outsider Takes on Ireland, From Inside a Plastic Bag

Issues like these are still relatively under-discussed in the Irish news media and society, and Chambers’s fans seem to welcome his candor. He gets “thousands and thousands” of social media messages about mental health, he said, but he could never deal with interactions like those in person. “If I didn’t have the bag,” Chambers said, “I’d stop talking about mental health‌.”On other episodes, Chambers talks frankly about an economic climate that he says has infantilized his generation. Chambers said the Irish news media continued to draw links between the party and terrorism. Several popular Instagram accounts attest to this growing interest in Northern Irish politics among young people in the Republic.
