YABU: Galaxy
YANBU: Dairy Milk

Genuinely torn. But tonight, Galaxy wins it.

Neither is worthy of being called "chocolate". You can barely get a hint of cocoa in the taste, the overwhelming taste is just sugar with a cloying stickiness of palm oil.

Galaxy ingredients in descending order of percentage contents: Sugar, Skimmed MILK Powder, Cocoa Butter, Cocoa Mass, milk fat, Whey Permeate, Palm Fat, Emulsifier (Lecithin)

Dairy Milk ingredients in descending order of percentage contents: sugar, milk solids, cocoa butter, cocoa mass, vegetable fats (palm, shea), emulsifiers (E442, E476), flavourings.

Actual decent quality chocolate ingredients in descending order of percentage contents: Cocoa Mass, Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Vanilla

Surely Cadbury must have noticed declining sales?

Galaxy tastes waxy to me.

I have to agree. I usually much prefer galaxy, but I bought a bar last week and it was so disappointing!

Minstrels for the win

And Lindt.

Have you heard about the shit (they say) that is put in Lindt? Am scared to eat it now.

Dairy milk is better!!!

maz210 · 22/09/2026 21:24

Poll options confusing - I voted YANBU according to the question in your title as Galaxy is far better!

SmallandSpanish · 22/09/2026 21:22

dairy milk doesn’t even mention the word chocolate on the packet anymore. Suspicious

Greenandyellowday · 22/09/2026 21:22

Galaxy has always been better than Cadbury Dairy Milk. I'm a child of the 1970s, and Galaxy back then had a smooth feel, like caramel, to me anyway. I like Marabou.

I love Galaxy, there’s something a bit treacle-y about it. I really dislike posh chocolate, even Tony’s milk chocolate; it isn’t anywhere near sweet enough for me. One of the few areas in which I genuinely prefer the cheaper thing.

Tony’s is seriously over-rated, if you ask me…

Cutletcake · 22/09/2026 21:19

Cadbury is shit chocolate now.

bananaapplepears · 22/09/2026 21:18

Galaxy here too!

Dh has gone to the shop to get bread and a cadburys caramel for me!

love Cadbury’s.

Galaxy is the best. The end

I think ripples taste better than the bar, but both far superior to disgusting dairy milk. Buttons used to be my favourite chocolate ☹️

Yes, Ripple or Minstrels.

Buttons, Twirl & Flake were holding on, but they’re rubbish now too.

Has anyone noticed that Twirl is no longer layered the way it used to be? Now it just a coated Flake. Cheaper to produce, but it’s not the same texture anymore. Wispa is the same, the bubbles aren’t the right texture anymore…

Palm Oil chocolate is awful

durdledoris · 22/09/2026 21:10

I always buy myself a Galaxy selection box at Christmas but the last 2 years have found it quite waxy and tasteless

Salted galaxy caramel straight from the fridge, yum!!

tulippa · 22/09/2026 21:06

Galaxy is too sweet.

LlynTegid · 22/09/2026 21:06

Your preference, your choice.

SpottyAlpaca · 22/09/2026 21:03

YABVU.

Galaxy is disgustingly waxy horrible stuff. I wouldn’t even call it chocolate. Just sugar & fat.

Dairy Milk isn’t great, but at least it’s edible.

M&S, Ritter Sport, Waitrose Number 1, Tony’s, Lindt are all much better

FinallyHere · 22/09/2026 21:00

Neither really does it for me.

I like chocolate to taste of … chocolate
