Cadburys Flake

[KnobblyWand]

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?

Freddos are actually delicious. To me they taste like proper Cadbury's, like how Cadbury's used to taste.

I bought a pack a Kit Kat penguins (or something festiva) before Christmas and they were completely inedible.

@ifitpleasesandsparkles surely you mean the wonder that is the Spira?

I mentioned it upthread. Nothing came close to that little beauty. We should petition for it like what happened with Wispa’s.

Also as a child I remember flakes were bloody huge. Like a pencil size. Now they’re teeny tiny.

Who remembers the Lion Bar ? 🦁

I'd rather have a Ripple

Who on earth has a Kinder Bueno as their go-to chocolate bar?

Twirl for me - like a flake but better and less messy. I agree Flakes are not what they used to be. I did also love a Dipped Flake though.

No one, that's who.

@ifitpleasesandsparkles

No, what was the lovely one that was discontinued years back? Twirly inside but solid outside. In a tube shape. I want those and milky bar choos to make a comeback.

Spira. The best Cadbury's bar ever.

I have some flake chocolate desserts, and mini egg ones I'm very excited about the flakes! I love them but hate buying them as my kids like the make a flake snow store and spread a trail everywhere with it. I stick to ripples for them.

I had never heard of a Bueno before reading this thread,

Yes spira!

They've just brought back salt and vinegar and prawn cocktail quavers, so there's hope yet!

Flakes should be a double bar. Like a kind size twix, but flake.

I like a Galaxy ripple though. I lose less flakiness due to it being covered by solid chocolate

Oh no ilthey used to be lovely now disgusting just like the way a twirl went.
Now the thing they did with a flake in the middle was amazing.. Blue wrapper I forget the name.. Oh yes time out. They were amazing now also disgusting
Lion bar and picnics are the bizz

Lindt Lindor Milk Chocolate Truffles. Totally scrummy.

Does anyone remember Drifter bars? They were yummy. A google shows they are still available in different packaging. Then brown now blue. Daren’t try one would rather keep the memory.

Yes! It was like a pair of thin, smooth Lion Bars. Much easier to eat, and lovely straight from the fridge. I'd forgotten all about them!

Yes! They are amazing. Flakes are too messy but Wispas are fab. Currently eating Swizzels Parma Violets for lunch. So delicious

Snow flake - I'm not imagining this am I? White flake inside and milk choc outside? Will give a left leg for one to dip in my coffee right now!

It sounds like you have a selection of left legs available to you..?

Anyone old enough to remember a Cabana?
Never heard of a bueno, twirls all the way here and snickers are the work of the devil.

@Eckhart - I have children they each have a left leg...

They used to be nice before they changed the recipe. I'm not so keen on the crumbly mocklate

Anyone old enough to remember a Cabana?

Yes! Oh how I loved those

Not for long...

I remember Whispers being introduced.
