ah yes those pesky folk with good working conditions and benefits! We should do away with them all so the poor multinational corporations can make more profit

this thread is an example of out totally incorrect and false information spreads and shows how people are so devoid of their own thinking that they believe any crap they see on fakebook or thicktoc.

Anyone that has the basic ability to read would see that dairy milk contains milk and plenty of it. It was way back in 2009 that they introduced some palm oil instead of CREAM and they haven't made changes since then.

Milk is 23% of the bar, Cocoa is min 20%, the sugar is next

So even a cursory check by the op would show that milk is he primary ingredient - but they'd rather spread misinformation and then not bother to correct it.

Cadbury is what it is. Anyone who would like half decent chocolate that tastes well would not go near it.

Anyone who wants a sugar addiction hit will go for the cheap high sugar content options. Cadbury is perfect for this. It's not something people savour, it's something people choke down as quick as possible to feed the sugar addiction.

Nonsense. The second ingredient in Lindor is “Vegetable Fat (Coconut, Palm Kernel)” and for that privilege you get to pay €10 for 200g!

As mentioned, the best reasonably priced chocolate is available in Lidl or Aldi, predominantly their premium ranges. No vegetable fats or weird unknowable ingredients like 'flavourings'.

Mc Donald's chips aren't even made from potatoes 😜

Galaxy and Milka al the way for me, usually on special somewhere. Galaxy has always been the most intense chocolatey taste ever since we were kids imo.

Would you ever read the story Judge Dredd "Emerald Isle"? In the future the potato will have died out and we will be drinking Synthi-Stout and potatoes will be made out of rice from Hondo city.

Exactly this

This ridiculous thread and the completely false title have been here for more than a day and the OP hasn’t edited or even said “oops, my bad”

I presume this is a bastardisation of the “Penguins are actually biscuits” story but people like the OP are everything that is wrong with social media.

I totally agree! I won’t buy any bars larger than the 8 square because of the horrible taste. If I’m in England I don’t buy Cadburys at all. It’s Maltesers and Mars bars all the way. They can’t do much to those!

Tony’s is nice chocolate, it’s available in Tescos.

Some Tescos, aye. Not the two closest to me, alas/thankfully.

The small dairy milk is the only one my son will eat now. I had some mini packs of buttons left from Halloween so I opened a pack.

First I have had for some time and they were revolting greasy things and left a terrible aftertaste. No chocolate flavour at all.

DisgustedTunbridgeWells

I bought some Toblerone bars in the duty free recently and they tasted very different than when I last ate one and not in a good way. Very bland with a greasy feeling on the roof of your mouth - maybe they are using palm oil or something similar now. Has anyone else noticed the difference ?

Bogey Lowenstein

I am going to try and wean myself off chocolate. The cheaper stuff is crap and the good stuff costs more than gold!

You just proved yourself wrong there.

That is below 25% chocolate so can't be marketed as Chocolate in the E.U.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c86737yg3jlo

Quality Chocolatiers produce product with 35 percent chocolate.

Aldi own-brand chocolate is better quality chocolate than the well known brands these days which is very sad.

Ireland is in the EU.

Cadbury dairy milk is marketed as milk chocolate in Ireland.

You've just see the pic.

What more do you want?

“Milk Chocolate” is a downgrade from Chocolate. Not sure what the difference is between milk chocolate and chocolate flavoured.

So if Baileys was made in America it would use sour milk and taste like liquid hersheys ..,.ugh

That appears to be a UK wrapper and as such that product is not allowed to be marketed as Chocolate in the E.U.

here is something from someone in Reddit who claims to work in Cadbury UK.

I worked on that project, the shape is the only thing that has changed, not the recipe.

The new shape sits more comfortably in the mouth so there is more of the individual piece of chocolate in contact with the palate, providing greater surface area for flavour delivery. As a result, this also makes the melt rate more even across the individual piece, which again improves flavour delivery to the whole palate. The slightly faster melt rate may be why people perceive CDM to be different, compared to the old shape.

The old squares tended to melt more rapidly at the corners than in the middle, so flavour delivery would be mild initially while the middle of the chunk would still be cool and firm, hence people thinking that shape is more "grainy" when they chew it

Also CDM isn't used for all Cadburys chocolate products, and never has been. Most Easter products for example have always used Cadburys "standard" chocolate, and Wispa actually used to be a blend of CDM and Bourneville, although that has been adjusted slightly based on consumer preferences. There's also their white chocolate, Bourneville of course, darkmilk and a couple of others I forget the names of now. Unless it specifically says "Dairy Milk" on the packaging, it's not CDM.

And finally, CDM UK and CDM Ireland are two different recipes. Always have been. The Irish one is better, CDM UK has never been what I would call a "good" chocolate so I have no idea why people get weirdly nostalgic and protective over it.
