chocolate bar names

I'm confused to no end about the "new" cadburs bars,
they've axed twirls, and relaunched them as dipped flakes,
they've axed Whispas, and instead are doing dairymilk bubbly,
and turkish delight are now dairymilk turkish.
cadburys caramels are now dairymilk with caramel

The most sensible thing I've seen in the chocolate world recently is the return of moro bars (although in a smaller form ,which was going to happen anyway).

If they do anything to curly wurlies or fudge bars there is going to be many a strongly worded letter.

I don't want a thin dairymilk bubbly, i want my big thick wispas. Why are they playing with us like this!!

ferdi · 27-02-2004 10:50AM

yeah this is bleedin disgrace, its actually really annoying me:mad:

Trix · 27-02-2004 11:40AM

does anyone remember "secret" bars. now they were the business.

marcowil · 27-02-2004 11:43AM

Aztec bars were the biz!!

SheroN · 27-02-2004 11:43AM

secret bars were lovely!

They're just realizing that their Dairy Milk brand is very strong, so are bringing in their other products into the brand in an effort to up sales through both brand recognition and making it look like they've got new products.

Quite smart really, I kinda like the idea.

I found a shop that still sells Catch bars.

I'm telling none of you fuggers where it is though

Is a dipped flake as nice as a twirl? It doesn't look as nice, being chunkier. Personally I think kit-kat chunkys are manky compared to normal kit-kats, don't want twirls going the same way.

ferdi · 27-02-2004 12:22PM

just to set the record straight - twix are the shltest bars ever, they are so boring.

hershys is also crap

Ro: maaan! · 27-02-2004 12:32PM

Damn all of you! Now I have to go and eat loads of chocolate bars!

tba · 27-02-2004 12:42PM

Stuff like this has been happening since the beggining of time, well close enough anyway. Remember when Snickers were called Marathons and when Twix were called Raiders

i love topic bars, but are they cadbury's. they have shrunk in size, almost everytime i buy one they get smaller, not fair. what were secret bars?

Stark · 27-02-2004 01:19PM

Topic bars are produced by Mars company, and yeah they're way too small.

Is it just me or is the chocolate in the Mars range of bars much more addictive than in the cadbury's range?

Having been talking to the Cadbury's rep last weekend I enquired into the same question. It seems Cadbury's are relaunching most of their stuff under the "Cadbury's Dairy Milk" name insted of just Cadbury's. Hence all those small bards are DairyMilk with Turkish/Mint Crisp etc.

Also the Wispa was relaunced as Bubbly for a reason I dont know. I liked the Wispa better too. The Time Out is being removed as it sells like pants. All the snack bards are also to get new covers. Im not too sure about the Flake stuff, a big new advertising campaign is about to start on them soon I think. I dont think the Twirl is going to be replaced by the Dipped Flake either, its staying as it is from what I know.

Maybe Cadbur's are trying to increase the Dary Milk brand recognition.

I can remember them being called Raiders in France but don't ever remember them being called Raiders here.

Winters · 27-02-2004 02:49PM

Trix · 27-02-2004 03:08PM

ah "secrets". i tell ye, they don't make them like they used to. a criss cross web of very fine chocolate with a moussey creamy centre. a poor explanation but they were gorgeous.

dudara · 27-02-2004 03:24PM

Kalina · 27-02-2004 04:33PM

I saw the new Snack wrappers today, very snazzy indeed. They might encourage people to but more of them, not me though cos I'm allergic to biscuit. Pity cos they look nice!:(

SheroN · 27-02-2004 04:35PM

a cold purple snack, a glass of ice cold milk = heaven:)

rocco · 27-02-2004 04:39PM

honey bee toffee bar and time toffee bar , macaroon bar

mmmmmmmmmmmm

LegacyUser · 27-02-2004 05:00PM

while we're on the subject of chocolate did anybody know that a curley wurley is a stretched chomp with holes in it, next time you get both check the ingredients they are identical additive for additive e for e

fozzle · 27-02-2004 05:08PM

Those Dairymilk Bubbly's aren't the same as Wispas, the bubbles are bigger and the chocolate tastes different. The whole ponit of a Wispa was the meltyness of the tiny bubbles....I miss them...:(

Crash · 27-02-2004 06:12PM

remember caramac bars? i want one...
