Milk Tray - what the fuck?

[OhToBeASeahorse]

4 days post partum. Baby fell asleep on my bed so not in a safe position so I cant leave her to go and get breakfast. Thankfully someone bought me a.box of Milk Tray that I thought I could have.

Fuck me. They are rank. I've had to eat loads cos I'm.starving and my milk has just come in but talk about wasted calories.

Well you powered through them

They are usually the kind of thing in our staff room at work, and they go down verrrry slowly!

How far did you get through the second layer before you were totally convinced they were awful?

That is indeed massively disappointing. But seriously, how long will it take you to run and grab something from the kitchen? I’m fairly sure a 4 day old baby won’t roll over. Plus, rookie error in not having a stash of food and beverages on your bedside table. Learn quickly, my friend.

well exactly babies 4 days old can't launch themselves off beds.

They used to be so nice when I was a kid in the 90s. They taste crap now. Same with Roses!

They used to be such a treat and now they are the chocolates you buy for someone you really dislike but have to play nice with (although I am sure that is not what the person who gave them to you was thinking!!!)

I love Milktray 😊

Have a friend who is a chocolate chemist (what a job eh): she says all the formulae / recipes have changed to add more oil etc - US style.

Unacceptable!

On the upside it’s made it easier to reduce my chocolate intake!

Almost all the Cadburys is ruined.

I got given a box of these recently and was sorely disappointed to learn that a) they've got rid of the Turkish Delight, and b) they are all very mediocre.

Congratulations

Hoping someone gives you better chocs v soon!

To be fair when you have a 4 day old baby you can legitimately text everyone to know to bring you chocolate. Hopefully something better will turn up soon!

Chocolate chemist who knew

I used to love milk tray so much. They are horrible now

And the orange cream ones have been replaced with something hideous.

Maybe Trump needs all the orange cream to slather on his face. I think Mike Pence tried it and attracted a fly onto his weave because he forgot to spray it with insect repellent first.

Upgrade to Lindt or Thorntons - worth the extra.

All Cadbury have gone to shit 😢
I miss the pocket packs that could get in the 90s. The taste is completely different now

Agree, we don't but Cadbury's anymore. Just leaves a greasy unpleasant feeling in my mouth and no taste. Aldi or Sainsbury's own milk chocolate now

Congrats on the baby btw

I don't eat Cadbury's any more as it all tastes like shit. Try Tony's chocolate instead. It's amazing!

I must have the world's least discerning palate. I can't detect any difference in the taste or texture of chocolate in the last few years.

How even on a thread like this do people have to be rude?

She was on a pillow with a muslin, I wasnt comfortable leaving her. No one else here and DH had left in a rush so couldn't leave me anything.

God.

Cadbury's went to hell in a handcart when whichever US corporation - they change name so often I've lost track, but I think it was called Kraft at the time - bought them. The new recipe is foul.

Lidl does lovely own brand fair trade chocolate without dodgy palm oil.

It just didnt taste of anything. It wasnt enjoyable at all.
