To think we should go on a Cadbury Chocolate strike - until they put the recipe (and shape) back to how it was

We should go on a Cadburys Chocolate Strike :-)

Or, only buy supermarket own-brand chocolate from now on. (some of which is really good)

That'd teach them to mess about with the ingredients in our Cadburys chocolate. And I don't carewhat they try and fob us off with - the bars are a lot sweeter (different cheape sweetener used?) and they have lost their smoothness.
In other words, Cadburys tastes crap.

I'm on a permanent Cadburys strike. I have never really liked Cadburys. It isn't chocolatey enough and has a harsh, sickly taste.

I don't buy it anyway. It's nicer chocolate in Aldi.

I don't buy Cadbury any more. And if dh brings some home hes on his own eating it!

Aldi do a delicious milk chocolate and almond slab... Mmmmmm.

I've not bought Cadbury for a few years now, it's all shit.

Hotel chocolat or fresh Belgian, although I find tesco own brand after eights & orange segments are lovely!

I tried it a couple of times after Kraft changed the recipe and it was horrible. Haven't bought it since I miss my Dairy Milk binges!

I'm off to Aldi. Keep meaning to try this store but haven't got around to making the journey. However, the chocolate you describe HappyAgain makes it a must. Wonder if they do chocolate rice bars.....

The purple fruit and nut one in Aldi is better than Cadburys anyway.

Sounds like Kraft have Americanised it - given it the texture of a Hershey bar (which are terminally foul).

A bar of Cadburys caramel used to be a treat. The first time I got the new recipe one it was such a huge disappointment. I don't buy them now and it makes me sad. Bloody Kraft.

I still like it, but I like any chocolate. I think it's because when recovering from an ED, I tasted chocolate for the 1st time in 2 years... like a new awakening

Yes I'm with you. I rant about this all the time and curse those bloody americans messing with our chocolate. People in real life just don't seem to care as much as me. Thankfully I live in NIreland and when we travel south and buy Cadburys there it tastes like it always did. Its made in a different factory than the one in England.

It's horrible, sickly & greasy & chemical tasting. I think I used to like it, way back in the mists of time. G&B is going downhill as well. I seem to going off chocolate.

It's completely disgusting now.

I now buy better more expensive chocolate less often and enjoy it much more.

It's a real shame about one of our proudest national products.

Meh..... I don't care either way... Don't like their chocolate, don't buy it. It's not hard

The coins stoppage is a crappy marketing ploy so they can say "back by popular demand"

In Australia the cadburys really does taste awful though we used to love the Cadbury's Rocky Road and will be asking friends to bring some over when they visit. Wish they'd do Rocky Road here instead of the silly popping candy.

I was a die-hard Cadbury fan. I used to get through packs of Dairy Milk at a time. A big foil-wrapped bar was the ultimate treat.

But yes, it's shit now. I persevered but I just kept being disappointed.
Then I discovered Lidl Fin Carré. 35p a large bar. Amazing.

It would be brilliant if we only bought Fair Trade chocolate, tea & coffee.

We should force the multinationals to be Fair Trade.
It might cost a small percentage more, but so what.
We don't need to consume vast bars of chocolate bought cheaply because the cocoa was produced by child slaves.
If all chocolate was Fair Trade we could eat a bit less and be safe in the knowledge that the growers were treated fairly.

At the risk of being controversial it's not 'our' chocolate it belongs to Kraft or whoever buys the company. They make it their way and if sales don't drop and affect profits then the change is fine. They have only 1 interest - profit so the cheaper they can make it the better. 'Our' chocolate was always awful - read the amount of cocoa solids on the label then compare to eg Aldi/Lindt etc. You need more cocoa, less palm oil. Green and Blacks also owned by Kraft

"We should go on a Cadburys Chocolate Strike :-)"

why are people buying it if they dont like it? Surely that is a boycott.... no one is forcing you with a gun to the head to buy it?

Cadburys was always horrible because the texture was grainy, like it had milk powder stirred through it. Blurgh! If they've fixed that though, it might taste better now.

Ok - so I'm off to Lidl this afternoon, which of their chocolate bars should I try?

HIC that's so cruel, I'm longing for a Peanut Slab now :( I asked my friend to send me one, lovely friend sent some, she stupidly mistakenly thought I'd prefer a bag of the mini ones. Distraught I was, distraught! I wanted the chunk you can barely bit though! Though, I believe they are thinner and smaller now anyway?! Cheezles and twisties are the things I miss the most though - I'm hoping someone will send me some at Christmas!!

Co-op and lidl have choc with rice pop stuff in it if that's what you're after Happydays? And The One Stop sells Crunch.

Cor, honestly, you lot are no help. I'll just have to choose a few one and hope for the best.

Feel free to tell me what I should have bought
