chocolate bar names

penguinbloke

I'm confused to no end about the "new" cadburs bars,
they've axed twirls, and relaunched them as dipped flakes,
they've axed Whispas, and instead are doing dairymilk bubbly,
and turkish delight are now dairymilk turkish.
cadburys caramels are now dairymilk with caramel

The most sensible thing I've seen in the chocolate world recently is the return of moro bars (although in a smaller form ,which was going to happen anyway).

If they do anything to curly wurlies or fudge bars there is going to be many a strongly worded letter.

I don't want a thin dairymilk bubbly, i want my big thick wispas. Why are they playing with us like this!!

ferdi

yeah this is bleedin disgrace, its actually really annoying me:mad:

Trix

does anyone remember "secret" bars. now they were the business.

marcowil

Aztec bars were the biz!!

SheroN

secret bars were lovely!

moridin

They're just realizing that their Dairy Milk brand is very strong, so are bringing in their other products into the brand in an effort to up sales through both brand recognition and making it look like they've got new products.

Quite smart really, I kinda like the idea.

I found a shop that still sells Catch bars.

I'm telling none of you fuggers where it is though

Is a dipped flake as nice as a twirl? It doesn't look as nice, being chunkier. Personally I think kit-kat chunkys are manky compared to normal kit-kats, don't want twirls going the same way.

ferdi

just to set the record straight - twix are the shltest bars ever, they are so boring.


hershys is also crap

Ro: maaan!

Damn all of you! Now I have to go and eat loads of chocolate bars!

tba

Stuff like this has been happening since the beggining of time, well close enough anyway. Remember when Snickers were called Marathons and when Twix were called Raiders

i love topic bars, but are they cadbury's. they have shrunk in size, almost everytime i buy one they get smaller, not fair. what were secret bars?

Stark

Topic bars are produced by Mars company, and yeah they're way too small.

Is it just me or is the chocolate in the Mars range of bars much more addictive than in the cadbury's range?

Winters

Having been talking to the Cadbury's rep last weekend I enquired into the same question. It seems Cadbury's are relaunching most of their stuff under the "Cadbury's Dairy Milk" name insted of just Cadbury's. Hence all those small bards are DairyMilk with Turkish/Mint Crisp etc.

Also the Wispa was relaunced as Bubbly for a reason I dont know. I liked the Wispa better too. The Time Out is being removed as it sells like pants. All the snack bards are also to get new covers. Im not too sure about the Flake stuff, a big new advertising campaign is about to start on them soon I think. I dont think the Twirl is going to be replaced by the Dipped Flake either, its staying as it is from what I know.

Maybe Cadbur's are trying to increase the Dary Milk brand recognition.

I can remember them being called Raiders in France but don't ever remember them being called Raiders here.

Holy Sh!t are they still making them ... they are without doubt the tastiest choccie bar around ... I will now use the power of the jedi chocoholics to get the secret address from you!!

or you could just pm me

Trix

ah "secrets". i tell ye, they don't make them like they used to. a criss cross web of very fine chocolate with a moussey creamy centre. a poor explanation but they were gorgeous.

dudara

I was confused at the mention of "secrets", but I remember now. They were fe*kin lovely, so they were

LoneGunM@n

I just remembered 1 ... Smilie bars

They were like an orange Chomp ... hey there's another one ... Chomps

Wispa Golds, r teh rock

I saw the new Snack wrappers today, very snazzy indeed. They might encourage people to but more of them, not me though cos I'm allergic to biscuit. Pity cos they look nice!:(

SheroN

a cold purple snack, a glass of ice cold milk = heaven:)

rocco

honey bee toffee bar and time toffee bar , macaroon bar


mmmmmmmmmmmm

LegacyUser

while we're on the subject of chocolate did anybody know that a curley wurley is a stretched chomp with holes in it, next time you get both check the ingredients they are identical additive for additive e for e

fozzle

Those Dairymilk Bubbly's aren't the same as Wispas, the bubbles are bigger and the chocolate tastes different. The whole ponit of a Wispa was the meltyness of the tiny bubbles....I miss them...:(

Crash

remember caramac bars? i want one...

Grrr!! I'm sure it's heaven alright!! :mad:

Davey Devil

The limited edition Triple Chocolate Twix's were the best. I think you can still buy them in some shops.

flogen

i only ever liked the purple snack bars, but theyve year in year out cut back the amount of chocolate in them...
and club milks are **** now, they have shorbread buiscut instead of the two bits with chocolate in the centre.

regarding moro, werent they going to be replaced by boost? im sure i saw boost bars with 'boost, the new name for moro' on them for a while, and they are the same bar... also the new moro wrappers make it look smaller, but i bought one and theyre the same size (just the text is smaller and so makes the entire thing look smaller)

I want to see Mars Dark and Whites back, they rocked... dark chocolate (which i usually hate) mixed with white nougat..... stupid special editions.....

Flogen

not too sure about all this newfangled chocolate...
i tend to go for anything with mint. and macaroon bars. i've been eating them for years..they're just so brilliant. anyone agree?

I just love them. Since 2000, theyve been in a funky plastic wrapper. A lot better then the paper wrappers that always stuck to the chocolate!

pickarooney

Are double-deckers still being made? I must buy a crate of them next time I'm in Ireland *drooooool*

Grom

Omg i love catch bars nicest bar ever I still know a shop here in sligo were they sell them yum yum

pat kenny

Highland toffee bars are the biz.
I once took one of my teeth out ona time toffee bar.They were just so hard.

embee

There is a shop in Dundalk that sells a range of Hershey chocolate bars etc. from the States. Im not usually a fan of yankified chocolate, but they do theses things called

Reeses Peanut Butter Cups

They are unspeakably tasty.

I have never seen them in another shop in this country.

Ah, glad Im not the only one to notice. Theyve got very small over the years

snickerpuss

Has anyone noticed snow flake is now called flake snow? Why did they do that?

segadreamcast

Yeah secret's were the bees knees alright...ran a search on them a while ago to no avail - glad someone else remembers them! Vice versa's...I don't think I ever tasted them, but I remember the ads and stuff. Sigh.

Man, I didn't even notice the wispa's were gone! I was wondering what Dairy Milk bubbly was replacing, since all the other 'new' dairy milk range seemed to be replacing an old cadbury's product.

And they're cancelling time out's?!? Only fair...but they were nice enough in the celebrations boxes or with a cup of tea. Ah well.

By the way, all sorts of Hershey's are sold in Musgraves in Ballymun. Obviously, being Musgraves, everything *is* in bulk though.

(If anybody cancels twirls, I'll be very pissed off. I haven't had one in years...they should change the wrapping totally, they look very old and a bit feminine right now)

Walter Ego

What about Flash Bars, Klipso Bars and Trigger Bars. They all used to sell for 2d each. For you young folks thats old pre decimal money. 240d made £1.

newgrange

And Snappers and Black Maria bars - used to be 1d and then became 1p...hmmm.

Urney bars - there's another blast from the past.

Re Wispas - I took a bag of the small ones to Russia one summer many moons ago, the temperatures got so high they all melted and were like little bags of liquid, but when they solidified again, they still had their lovely bubbliness, albeit in mashed up shaped bars. That's chocolate engineering for you.
