"Or can we just not read."
"Well, this is embarrassing," Grace added in the caption.

"I live in the Netherlands so I see that chocolate EVERY damn day... I SWEAR it's always been chocoloney?? But it's not??" someone else said.
While another admitted: "I would have bet my house it was chocoloney!"
"I think its a batch typo, it IS chocoloney," someone else raged.
To which Grace replied: "Haha my friends exact words were 'look they've changed the name!'"
"These comments are giving us life," the Tony's Chocolonely UK account added.
"Why can none of us read?!" Grace laughed.
Tony's Chocolonely came about after Dutch journalist Teun (Tony) van de Keuken started investigating the use of slavery in the cocoa industry for the consumer watchdog show Keuringsdienst van Waarde.
During his research, he discovered that the majority of chocolate on supermarket shelves was made from cocoa harvested by slaves.
And he then decided to take action and create his own line of Fairtrade chocolate.
The very first Tony’s Chocolonely bars hit shelves in 2005, and in 2006 the company registered with the Chamber of Commerce.
