    Argh, the legendary double post. So I will have to edit and open discussion on another burning hot topic; Cadbury’s Creme Eggs. Cadburys now owned by Kraft have changed the chocolate form Dairy Milk to another cheaper chocolate. It is subtle different by inferior, I know I taste tested it against a Twirl. Now Kraftburys say that they have never advertised the CE as the Dairy Milk Creme Egg; true, but Dairy Milk is Cadburys chocolate, the public don’t make a distinction and expect Dairy Milk. What is next? It doesn’t say Dairy Milk on Twirl or a Flake (twirls are just man-flakes) or a Crunchy. Not only do we have to tolerate shrinking bar sizes we now have to stomach this! No I say! Boycott Creme Eggs and send a message to Kraftburys.

    It’s like toddlers arguing over which bit of crap scraped off the floor tastes better. ;)


    Thanks again for sharing Paul, however the clue is in the name, Daily Milk Chocolate. You seem to have been listening to too many Belgian politicians.

    Alan Davies preferred the new egg on The Last Leg, but perhaps it was because the old egg had expired. I get that some people prefer Galaxy or other chocolates, and thanks for sharing your indifference. However, for the people who do like Cadburys chocolate it feels like the thin end of the wedge. What if they changed the chocolate in a Wispa or Double Decker? What is to stop them doing this? What if kelloggs changed the formula for Corn Flakes? I am too young to remember the New Coke crisis but that didn’t work out well for them. It makes you wonder about intellectual property, does the taste of Dairy Milk belong to Cadburys or the people? Would you tolerate Marmite or Heinz Ketchup changing after 30, 50, 70 years? The simple question is just why is this necessary?

    American chocolate may be the worst but the experts also generally say that British chocolate is the second worst.

    never really been a fan of Cadbury chocolate anyway, much prefer Kraft, (Toblerone, Milka)

    as an aside, Cadbury isn’t owned by Kraft. they are part of Mondelez, Kraft are a different company.

    You mean to tell me there’s a Toblerone that’s a better Toblerone than Toblerone? Where can I get this?

    That reminds me, I’ve still got a Toblerone from christmas in the fridge, I’ll be back in 10…

    It’s weird, with the amount of really good chocolate for sale these days, I’m stunned grown-ups still buy dairy milk. It tastes weird and chalky and so sugary. There’s a lot of nostalgia tied up in a cream egg, I appreciate, but changing the shit chocolate to an even shitter one… meh.
    You know what I’ve got a weakness for? White mice. I have no fucking idea what they’re made out of but I’m not sure it’s ever seen any white chocolate.

    I worked for Kraft for a bit, what about the Kraft employees who lost there jobs when Cadburys employees kept them as a result of the merger.

    If a factory is loosing money it will get shut.

    IMHO Cadbury’s ‘chocolate’ tastes like lard with a lot of sugar mixed in, and a tiny amount of cocoa power. Children like it, apparently.
