I'm shocked.
i thought they understood not to diss about.
twats¡¡

hatgirl · 07/01/2013 20:46

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....

nickelbabylyinginamanger · 07/01/2013 20:46

diss?
i meant piss about

Dinnerdinnerdinnerbatman · 07/01/2013 20:46

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.

SoleSource · 07/01/2013 20:47

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

Foggles · 07/01/2013 20:48

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

Fakebook · 07/01/2013 20:48

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.

OddBoots · 07/01/2013 20:48

Literally cutting corners!

GwendolineMaryLacey · 07/01/2013 20:48

What the actual fuckety fuck is that supposed to be? This has not improved my crap day one iota Angry

JollyToddles · 07/01/2013 20:49

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.

BigStickBIWI · 07/01/2013 20:52

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.

pictish · 07/01/2013 20:55

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.

Pickles101 · 07/01/2013 20:58

It's horrible, all smooth and ugh Sad and it doesn't taste the same, it's all sickly and weird and awful Sad what deliciousness will get me through period cramps now Sad retreats into bedroom sobbing heavily

Foggles · 07/01/2013 20:58

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

bureni · 07/01/2013 20:59

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

JumpingJackSprat · 07/01/2013 21:00

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

2kidsintow · 07/01/2013 21:01

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

Tabliope · 07/01/2013 21:02

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.

JollyToddles · 07/01/2013 21:04

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.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 07/01/2013 21:08

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.
