in my local fuel station the cadburys always has a layer of dust on it, I swear I'm the only person that must buy it. I think I have an untapped supply for a while....

Bloody hell. Why couldn't they leave it alone??

First Kitkats (buggering the wrapper up) and now this.

I am in a huff now.

Probably Elf & Safety lot said they had to get rid of the corners in case they had somebody's eye out.

The chocolate does NOT taste the same. It tastes of steralised milk.

Ooh no. Sterilised milk. My mum still has that - it's vile.

I haven't eaten dairy milk for years tbh. It tastes chalky. I'm sure they meddled with the ingredients a few years ago. I'm a galaxy fan myself, but I'm still VERY ANGRY about the change of shape.

Sorry Gwendoline.

Maybe if MN complain en masse (Cadbury Dairy Milk have a facebook page) then we could achieve something?

Not sure what the fuss is about, its not even real chocolate no matter what shape it is.

I'm amazed that they have done that. I did a lot of research for Cadbury, years ago now, and one of the key things about Dairy Milk is the feel of the square in the mouth, and how it makes the chocolate melt.

If you need to be snooty bureni go and find somewhere else to do it.

We hold our Cadbury Dairy Milk very dear, whether it is 'real' chocolate or not.

Hmmmph.

If we want round chocolate, we can have buttons. Unless they're going to make those into triangles.

Snooty lol, you should try some real chocolate and get a buzz.

i was really annoyed when i saw the new shape of caramels the other day... its obviously to use less chocolate (i doubt the price is coming down though!) oh well i used to find them irrisistable but now im being conned ill find it much easier to not buy them! Wink

I like cadbury, but am not impressed by the new shape either. I like my chocolate to be uniform in thickness.

I'm really annoyed too. It definitely tastes different - sweeter and more sickly. I was recently in Dublin airport and in the newsagents there they had the original shape and it tasted like it used to. They also had Cadbury's Tiffin - anyone remember that? Also, a mint crisp cadbury's and a few other old flavours that I can't seem to get in the UK. I'm not buying it anymore. The taste is horrible now and I don't think I'm imagining it.

I haven't bought one of the new bars. I can't bring myself to do so. They are not right :(

The taste is definitely different and not as nice. Which is good news for me, as it means I'm eating less of the fat-and-zit-inducing stuff.

Don't get me started on Irish chocolate. The last time this came up I had to beg an Irish MNetter to send me some. And she did. I got a jiffy bag stuffed with Moros and Caramellos. Yum yum yum

Love MN I do.
