Cadburys Flake

Most underrated chocolate bar. Nobody goes, "ooh I really fancy a flake babe, grab me one from the co-op" do they? It's always a Snickers or a Bueno.

But they're the best. Better than all the rest.

AIBU?

Oh sod you lot. I couldn't just pass by this thread without having a peek and now I really want some bloody chocolate. Might have to put some clothes on and nip to the garage. 🍫🍬🍭

WeatherwaxOn · 07/02/2021 22:23

If they'd make them in dark chocolate I'd be extremely happy.

Nickmoooooo · 07/02/2021 22:23

Turkish delight. Mars bars are for Muppets.

No more Cadburys for me, sorry but terrible cheap tasting ingredients, they have absolutely ruined what used to be amazing chocolate bars. Huge shame

xHeartinacagex · 07/02/2021 22:24

Twirl all the way.

StealthRoast · 07/02/2021 22:24

Nothing on earth beats the long gone Spira. I miss them so much.

feistyoneyouare · 07/02/2021 22:24

I absolutely love Flakes, but hate how messy they are to eat.

CroutonsAvatar · 07/02/2021 22:25

YABU all Cadbury’s chocolate tastes like (I imagine) ancient dusty rat poo.

Will accept a small flake in a whippy ice cream though.

Best non snobby chocolate is always anything galaxy and malteasers.

lazylinguist · 07/02/2021 22:25

They're all crap. I wouldn't buy any of that greasy, soy-filled, palm-oil flavoured crap when you can buy proper chocolate that actually tastes like chocolate really cheaply from Aldi etc. Cadbury's in particular is vile. No actually, Thornton's chocolate is even worse.

Magicmonster · 07/02/2021 22:27

Another vote for the Spira here

silverbubbles · 07/02/2021 22:29

a ripple is better than a flake as it is less messy

SavannahMiasMum · 07/02/2021 22:31

They were nice till Cadbury’s was taken over by a USA company and then they ruined the chocolate by adding tons of palm oil. So it now tastes like all American filthy chocolate

AdditionalCharacter · 07/02/2021 22:34

Flakes are only good if you're topping ice cream.

Now Crunchies however, I can eat those until they come out my ears.

GarlicZoflora · 07/02/2021 22:35

Pyramint and a proper Walnut Whip that was poured rather than moulded and had the whole walnut in, half inside and half on top.
But Galaxy chocolate is better than Cadbury’s.

Fry's chocolate cream....all flavours.

sproutsandparsnips · 07/02/2021 22:39

Caramac for me. Does that count as chocolate?
If not, Milky Bar.....

Libraryghost · 07/02/2021 22:41

In my opinion a flake ice cream is the pinnacle of man’s culinary achievements,

DoctorTwo · 07/02/2021 22:43

Oh God I could murder a Cadbury's Flake, but then I guess you wouldn't let me into heaven,
Or maybe you would, 'cos their advert promotes oral sex,
A Romany bint in the field with her paint, suggesting we faint at her beauty,
BUT SHE'S GOT DICKIE DAVIES' EYES!

Thanks for reminding me of this classic OP.

giao · 07/02/2021 22:44

They often use fake flakes in 99's, horrible.

Stinkywizzleteets · 07/02/2021 22:45

Prefer a ripple

Libraryghost · 07/02/2021 22:47

Minstrels though.. who doesn’t appreciate a minstrel..

JocastaElastic · 07/02/2021 22:48

@doctorhamster

Can you still get flake praline? I lived off them when pregnant with dc 1.
The praline Flakes were the best!....but that said, I do like a Bueno.
Purpleberet · 07/02/2021 22:49

I used to love snowflakes 😍

supersplodge · 07/02/2021 22:54

Love a Snickers (Marathon) it has to be said!

And flakes, twirls and whatever - and all the others mentioned upthread....Smile. Except Star Bars, they were yuk!

Used to love a Cabana bar - coconut and caramel and stuff. Maybe everyone else found them too sickly, but - yum.......Grin!

Giraffey1 · 07/02/2021 23:03

Butterscotch Angel Delight, stir in a crumbled flake and some nots, with a blob of cream on the top ... delicious!
