"Cadbury" 8 square dairymilk (RIP)

There was one bastion of cadbury chocolate that lasted a good while after its brethren had been subsumed and that was the 8 square made in Ireland. You could buy large bars made in England for almost the same price, but they didn't taste anything like cadbury's at its best.



Cadbury Dublin has finally fallen. It now tastes like generic, hershey chocolate infused ash.



Thanks to the chocolatiers of old for many years of splendid dairymilk.They must be spinning in the large vats.



I'm actually in favour of the Belgians now, no way should this muck be allowed to be called chocolate. As for Mondelez, may they die from chocking on their own product.


So, what's next? I've been advised to try Green & Black.



In the mean time anyone got a spare pitchfork or two?

The Green & Black chocolate comes in all sorts of variety that make for high snobbery value, but I'd still prefer the original dairy milk over any of them.

Milka?

Galaxy chocolate!

Just eat Lindt Dark Sea Salt. Nothing will ever taste the same again.

Know anybody that has a stash. In case I need a fix. Won't melt if first, that's only for the hardcore.

Noooo! I refuse to buy it. I used to like Galaxy in small doses.

Generally speaking don't like Lindt. Usually get the bunny at Easter as a present, but its eaten because it's there rather than looking forward to it.

It was never the same after the foil wrappers went

No, but it at least was in the ballpark. The thing they sell now is not even on the same continent.

Catch yourself on.


Catch.

Galaxy is much nicer than Cadburys has been for years. US chocolate is muck.

Catch bars are the biz, as are Topics. And there's nothing like a Toblerone, but only if it's been bought in an airport, it adds a little cosmopolitan je ne sais quois.

But, who is still buying cadburys? Do people with no taste buds buy chocolate just to be seen to fit in?

Uk/Northern Ireland Dairy Milk is much nicer and creamier than the muck sold down here. I can’t understand how the two aren’t made to the same recipe as they’re marketed as being the same bar but they’re not. The irish Dairy Milk and Cadbury’s chocolate in general went to pure Shiite years ago.

Around the time they got rid of the gold wrappers, the taste of them went to ****e, why can't companies just leave things alone, it was fine the way it was.

If you're in Dublin treat yourself and go to Hotel Chocolat (Dundrum and Henry Street). Not cheap, but you won't be disappointed.

Used to love their Maya Gold, but it got mondelez’d years back. Used to rate their stuff ahead of Lindt, but not now. Lindt’s Sea Salt is fantastic alright.

I thought the opposite until lately, and went out of my way to find the 8 square bar, but the bar I had an hour ago was a parody of what the bar only a week or two ago. I've avoided the bigger(cheaper) UK bars, but they may now be nicer.

It can only be for cost reasons, and people will automatically continue to buy it for themselves or their kids.

Cadbury, milka and green &black are all mondolez. Muck.

Profit..... change the formula cheapen it out but charge the same price. Don’t like Cadbury’s anymore TBH, don’t get me started on the muck that masquerades as a cream egg these days, vile.

Mondalez, an example of a company that only care about bottom line of there ever was one

Retired staff in Cadbury’s UK used to get selection boxes at Christmas until the miserable gits cut that cost too

Apparently they changed back to a previous formula last Easter because people complained. But, didn't bother trying them.

Speaking of selection boxes, they downsized something ridiculous over the years.

Complete muck. I used to love a Milka bar it tastes like palm oil infused, slick, sweet and stick to the roof of your mouth now. Put me off chocolate.

Go away. Cadbury choc is as amazing as ever and still tastes better than anything else in this world. The fact that its in every shop or garage in Ireland is proof that Cadbury choc is amazing. Those who don't like it are in the minority

I can't deny that it's still well stocked, but is it because mums & dads buy it for diddums without tasting it themselves. If you cannot taste the change you may have 'tongue blindness'. It's a real thing*, look it up.































































*may not be true, T&C's apply.

Toblerone is amazing but they ****ed up the regular bars of that too. Mental that they thought making the valleys wider was better than adding on 30c or whatever it would have cost.

It seems to be bought for adults just as much as kids. I just don't get the hate and I've tried a lot of other chocolate. Yes there has been a change but the change was so long ago i forget how it use to taste. Roses and creme eggs are terrible now and they have reduced sizes but the main bars range still taste amazing

It's only hard to eat if you don't have your original teeth. It's orders of enormity better than Cadbury.

Opinions, eh?
