You know the ones, they had lovely twisty ends and when you untwisted them you had a nice little 'tray' to eat your flake off of. Not a stupid plasticky wrapper that you have to rip open, covering yourself in bits of chocolate and making it impossible to eat them secretly in bed or when the children aren't around without being caught out later

Yes and the original Cadbury caramel wrappers

YANBU. I'll woman the barricades with you on this at the drop of a hat. The new wrappers are fucking annoying and lead to me eating fewer Flakes than I might otherwise be able to manage. It's an OUTRAGE.

YANBU.
At all.
How dare they do this to us?
I looked forward to the crumb tray, you could pick up the entire wrapper, tap it so all the shards crumbs went into a line, stick one end in your mouth and raise the other end so it formed a chute.
They have robbed us of this. We have been robbed.
Swindling chute robbing fuckers.

There are no crumbs either though, now that they're made of that horrible shiny new Cadbury chocolate.

Balletgirlmum · 13/04/2016 21:25

I've just had a ripple instead. Nicer chocolate.

Guiltypleasures001 · 13/04/2016 21:43

Mmmmmmm Ripple

It's times like this I'm glad I emigrated. Bloody changing things. Bastards.

Lunar1 · 13/04/2016 21:46

What crumbs? It probably breaches the trades description act calling that thing a flake!

Clare1971 · 13/04/2016 22:15

Swindling chute robbing fuckers. has just become my new insult of choice.

Do others remember the wonderful waxy caramel wrapper?

PalacePalacePalace · 13/04/2016 22:22

I once listened to a radio programme about a man who complained about the change of wrapper. Cadburys sent him a whole box of flakes in the original wrappers!

Do you think if we use the chocolate emoticon then Cadbury will be alerted and send us all a box? Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate

BYOSnowman · 13/04/2016 22:22

I feel the same about kit Kat wrappers

RortyCrankle · 13/04/2016 22:57

I would like to demand that Cadburys' American owners bring back edible chocolate that doesn't taste of shit.

Susiesoap7 · 14/04/2016 19:03

Haha I have to sweep the floor every lunchtime when I've had one, I now put a piece of kitchen roll on my knee to catch the bits!!!

YANBU.

And twiglets should still come in little red boxes labelled "Peek Freans, a savoury speciality".
