"Cadbury" 8 square dairymilk (RIP)

[Deleted User]

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?

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

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.

Mondelez own Green and Blacks too.

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.

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.

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 hard to eat muck, not in the same league as cadbury

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?

Someone was telling me cadbury changed from whole milk to soy milk and that's why there's a taste difference.

Nope, there has been a recent change. There was a change a number of years back, but try a bar from a recent batch. You should definitely notice a change

for the worse!

Moser Roth from Aldi is delicious imo.
The caramel one especially

Well they can hardly call it cha-ching bar, half the taste all of the price

I don't get why they dropped the 's from the name.
Mondelez or Kraft or whoever the mother company is must own most of the known brands at this stage. Whatever happened to companies not being allowed a stranglehold or an unfair market share?

Food science is a morally repugnant industry to work in. It’s the worst sort of greed masquerading as efficiency or ‘customer choice’.

Which reminds me, didn't some scion of the cadbury family try and brand chocolate under the cadbury name. I think he was on a dragons den type program, doesn't seem to have been overly successful.

The wispa tastes the worst out of the lot, such an awful taste
