Milk Tray

That’s because it’s not awful, it’s just fashionable to say it is because someone else said it. In reality, nobody would know the difference.\

The same people probably think Butlers and Lily O’Briens are hand made with love and care by some aul one or like the fake ‘master chocolatier’ in the Lindt ads

People tend to go through these idealization and devaluation phases with most products/brands. Starbucks was manna from heaven when it first opened in Dundrum in 2005; now every armchair coffee 'expert' who used to drink Maxwell House will tell you that their beans are burnt. Same types started moaning about Cadburys at roughly the same time that Lindt and Green & Black started showing up in the average Dunnes Stores. They'll tell you that Budweiser is 'piss' or that the food at a once favored restaurant is 'muck' but lack the understanding or the articulation to explain why. It's just an opinion they've come across, internalized and spout every time the topic comes up for fear of being seen as a rube.

Anyway, for what it's worth I've been buying a Cadbury Tiffin or Fruit & Nut once or twice a week for about 25 years now. Still tastes fine for what it is - pleasant but unremarkable milk chocolate that you can find in any newsagent across the country. It's not high-end chocolate but it's not trying to be either.
