To tell you about Galaxy Ripples

Grrr! Galaxy Ripples seemed to be one of few remaining chocolate bars that hadn't changed and been ruined. Until today. I bought one to have with a cuppa at lunchtime and what's happened? It's turned into some sort of disgusting waxy shit. It was like cheap cooking chocolate. I actually threw half of it in the bin. Obviously the palm oil has 'got it'.

RIP Galaxy Ripple Angry

Palm oil tastes horrible, really claggy, oily texture to the chocolate and is responsible for the deaths of orangutans.

Swap your ripples for ...

I recently discovered this - Waitrose milk chocolate with feuilletine and sea salt. I swear to god it is the most delicious chocolate ever invented.

But it now seems to be out of stock everywhere. If you see it, get it. Sooo goood.

Haven’t had a ripple in yonks,want one now

If anyone's bought Rolos recently they are MINISCULE! Once upon a time, Rolos were a real gob filler. You were well chuffed if someone gave you a Rolo, but now they are scaled to suit The Borrowers 😞

What is wrong with palm oil? Blush

whymewhyme · 19/07/2018 22:50

Well thank you auto correct, you have made me look like a knob!

whymewhyme · 19/07/2018 22:50

Complain to galaxy directly of enough tool consoling they will more than likely look into it

I just opened a Terrys choc orange..... someone gave it to me, haven’t had one for years... they’re like slices of wax! Vile Angry

Don’t they understand that people would pay more for nice chocolate. They are cheapening it and ruining it. The ripple was one of the last ones that were edible.

I swear to God, I threw away Easter Eggs this year. THREW THEM OUT in a bin. They weren’t even good enough for rice crispy buns. For fuck sake somebody do something.

EndOfEternity · 19/07/2018 22:41

It’s hapoened to Cadbury’s buttons too. Bought a bag last week and I swear they tasted liked they’d been dipped in coconut oil. Disgusting! First time I’ve ever thrown chocolate away!

Ebeneser · 19/07/2018 22:41

They have started putting palm oil in chocolate now? I thought palm oil in general was frowned upon because of deforestation and wiping out orangutans and what not?

LockedOutOfMN · 19/07/2018 22:40

Where is Moser Roth chocolate from? I think it's either Aldi or Lidl. We had some at Christmas 2016 and that was nice (the milk chocolate).

Osirus · 19/07/2018 22:39

It’s weird, as I’m a massive chocolate addict (not joking!) and I can’t tell the difference between “old style” and new.

Probably because I eat it so fast I can’t taste it Grin

GabsAlot · 19/07/2018 22:37

oh no not another one

theyre just ruining it all

2up2manydown · 19/07/2018 22:35

It’s weird how angry it makes me that these foreign companies bought our beloved chocolate and ruined it. Shame on Cadbury’s for selling out.

EachandEveryone · 19/07/2018 22:35

Im glad milka is ok. That will keep my Turksh corner shop in business.

2up2manydown · 19/07/2018 22:34

Divine used to be my go-to bar but they’ve changed the milk chocolate one to 55% cocoa so it tastes less sweet. Very disappointing.

AudiQ2 · 19/07/2018 22:34

Someone pleeeeeease start a petition! I'm far too shy

2up2manydown · 19/07/2018 22:34

Ritter Sport macadamia is nice, and the rum raisin one. Expensive though.

ToadOfSadness · 19/07/2018 22:33

Waitrose was nice but something has changed recently, it is like the Green & Black crap, although no mention of palm oil, just a slimy feel in the mouth and not as chocolatey. Last one I bought is waiting to go back to the shop, it is revolting.

I used to get the Lidl chocolate but it got very sweet for some reason so that is off my list.

Lindt contains palm oil now.

Divine chocolate doesn't have palm oil if anyone is interested although it isn't divine but is edible.

2up2manydown · 19/07/2018 22:32

Not the teacakes, the wafers. Much nicer.

SneakyGremlins · 19/07/2018 22:29

I've never had a Tunnock's teacake.

drnectarine · 19/07/2018 22:29

Aldi chocolate is nice - especially Moser Roth.
The Ritter coconut bar is amazing.

Titsywoo · 19/07/2018 22:29

It's a bit expensive and I've only found it in Ikea (or Germany!) but it tastes very similar to the old Cadburys www.scandikitchen.co.uk/product/marabou-mjolkchoklad-200g/?gclid=CjwKCAjw7cDaBRBtEiwAsxprXSgbNTse6HYLWAx6evqVjb6uUGNlWH4WV88O6RblV8WwzxJy7aHaLBoCT24QAvD_BwE
