"Cadbury" 8 square dairymilk (RIP)

20-08-2019 09:36PM #1

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?

..of pure irish milk.......nowadays its powdered milk i reckon

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?

Thought that was in the “energy” drinks?

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.

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.

Glass and a half of soya bean gunk

Catch yourself on.

Catch.

20-08-2019 10:14PM

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.

20-08-2019 10:19PM

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

It's like they've gone out of their way to fup it up too.

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.
