The '[Unity Bar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shirley-temple-mocktail)' is a celebratory product venture by beloved confectionery brand [Cadbury](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cadbury-and-the-princes-trust) who seeks to win over consumer loyalty by promoting inclusivity of skin tone.

This offering is available only in India. The 'Unity Bar' is brought to life through a collaboration with communications agency [Ogilvy India](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philadelphia-mexican-style-campaign). Essentially, the product brings together four types of Cadbury chocolate into one. Consumers who opt-in for this diversity-centric bar get to enjoy the dark, the milk, the white, and the blended chocolate varieties. Aside from delivering a tasty sensation, the 'Unity Bar' is also intended to advocate for a shift in public perception where people are no longer "classified [solely] by their caste, language, religion, and region."

The 'Unity Bar' has been promoted on various channels and its ad boasts the idea that "sweet things happen when we unite."
