Those krafty bastards! The taste has changed!!! You knew it MN. My partner is so not interested in this shocking development that I had to come and talk about it here. I knew my childhood memories had not been created.

So AIBU or have they really ruined it?

And don't get me started on the apple crunch....

I had a Cadbury's caramel egg (one of my favourites) but spat it out because the chocolate was VERY disgusting!!

OhShutUpThomas · 16/03/2016 20:44

Yep. We couldn't all be making it up.

Krafty feckers.

VertigoNun · 16/03/2016 20:45

We all knew when is this being televised?

HopIt · 16/03/2016 20:46

"HopIt, there's a programme you'll want to watch, dispatches all about cadburys"
Shouted DH from the other room. I bloody told him I wasn't making it up

HopIt · 16/03/2016 20:47

It's Monday at 8pm

SummerHouse · 16/03/2016 20:49

It's on Monday 8pm on 4. I think.

I used to be able to eat a big £1 bar of Dairy Milk in one sitting (I know, gross). But recently I've found that 1) I don't really want to any more, as a couple of squares is enough, and 2) I start to find it quite sickly if I do have more than a few squares. Sad.

Tax tax tax tax tax them

SummerHouse · 16/03/2016 20:50

Hoplt are you me? Very similar convo in this house plus x post.

We all agreed it was now disgusting so no arguments in this house. I saved money and calories as a consequence of the great Cadbury gaslighting campaign.

EverySongbirdSays · 16/03/2016 20:54

They said they wouldn't change it and didn't for a while, but it's definitely tastes different now, a bit like wax! I haven't deliberately bought a Cadbury's bar in ages and we got Celebrations rather than Heroes or Roses at Christmas

0phelia · 16/03/2016 20:55

Don't even get me started on Cadbury's buttons!
Used to love 'em.
Now they are proper minging.

0phelia · 16/03/2016 20:57

My poor baby son. I grew up loving Cadbury's Creme Egg as an Easter treat.
My Children will never know it's delicious creamy chocolaty goodness. They've only got something totally minging...

Sad
TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 16/03/2016 20:57

Thing is, the kids don't like it now, and you can't gaslight children into thinking something tastes the same as something else when it doesn't - lord knows we try hard enough with vegetables...

0phelia · 16/03/2016 20:59

How much Corporate Evil did they pay for this Chocolate ??!

I have a VERY sweet tooth and now don't buy Cadburys. It tastes 'waxy' and sugary now rather than creamy and chocolatey.

CaptainHammer · 16/03/2016 21:02

Thanks for the heads up!
I don't buy Cadburys anymore, it's such a shame they've ruined it.

TattyCat · 16/03/2016 21:20

Galaxy all the way. Always has been, always will be Grin

QueenLaBeefah · 16/03/2016 21:21

Does anyone know if Cadburys is making less of a profit now. I'm interested if their cost cutting (smaller sizes, cheaper ingredients, closing factories) has saved them money against all the people no longer buying their brand.

HopIt · 16/03/2016 21:25

scarednoob they've not paid tax for 5 years let alone getting them to pay more tax!

It hurts my teeth now, I don't know what they've done. I'm currently sat with a coffee eating lidl 35p chocolate, it's lovely

Jugglingballs65 · 16/03/2016 21:28

And their mini eggs are smaller!

namechangeformypost · 16/03/2016 21:28

Am I the only one who hasn't noticed the change? Confused

PrincessHairyMclary · 16/03/2016 21:29

I over indulged last Easter and it gave me a very dodgy stomach and I've not eaten Cadburys since. It's not all bad as I discovered Lindt instead.

Blatherskite · 16/03/2016 21:30

Mini Eggs are horrible now.

My 6 year old took a bite out of a creme egg and then ditched it!
