Although Cadbury rejected this offer, there was possible good news for Cadbury today. Campbell Soup Company announced today that they are planning to sell their Godiva Chocolate division. An IntellectSpace Knowledge Map from NewsVisual shows that Campbell's and Cadbury Schweppes have some strong executive connections http://www.newsvisual.com/newsvisual/2007/09/ties-could-allo.html. This could make Cadbury a strong potential bidder for Godiva.
