I think Cadbury's chocolate is an insult to the word chocolate. When I was at home for Christmas my nephew offered me a bar of chocolate from his selection box. While I'd prefer to have refused, I decided I'd keep with the festive spirit so chose a Curly Wurly bar. Disgusting. Unbearably sweet. An utter abomination.

Ingredients included filth like glucose syrup, cocoa mass, palm oil and dried whey. Were these the ingredients used in Cadbury's chocolate back in the 80's? No wonder so many people are obese.

Chocolates from a good chocolatier are a beautiful occasional treat. The taste might be slightly too sharp and rich for people used to stuffing their faces with the vile chocolate produced by Cadbury and Nestlé.

Cocoa mass is one of the core ingredients in all chocolate

If they're not getting rid of chocolate bars they're making them smaller and ridiculously expensive.

The soaring cost of cocoa beans dictate this,although the price has started to come down recently,that doesn't guarantee the actual price of chocolate will.

Breakingnews.ie seems more concerned about the Time-outs and pink snacks than the job loses.

Pink Snack and Time Out to go amid job uncertainty at Cadbury

I too hate wafery things...I don't know why.. I hate Pink Snacks the most. There has to be a higher ratio of chocolate/ caramel/peanut than wafer to disguise the light dry horrible crispiness of the wafer before I can accept a wafer bar. Kit Kat I can tolerate as the chocolate is thick.

Rubberchikken · 26-02-2015 06:54PM

hate pink snacks. wafer sticks to the roof of my mouth:o
used to love purple snacks, but they've gotten smaller and more expensive:(

pity about the job losses though.

I prefer a club milk myself and they better not touch the double decker

Larianne · 26-02-2015 07:36PM

Club milk's chocolate changed years ago and not for the better.

It's company restructuring. It's not like their going to kick them out the door and give them the finger. It wouldn't surprise me if there are some long term employees looking at some substantial redundancy packages. It's an opportunity for people as much as anything.

Opportunity for the company to get rid of staff and the people who stay go onto worse terms of employment.win win for everyone ¬___¬

Ah its all a load of molasses

Wasn't it only Pink Shnacks that Jacksie sold in the Bunan Bui in Killnascully. There would be some craic over this if it was still on.

melted_face · 26-02-2015 07:47PM

anyone who doesn't have pink snack as their favourite colour of snack is subhuman scum and should be viewed with deep and extreme suspicion , nqat

The Diabolical Monocle · 26-02-2015 07:48PM

Someone start a thread about the jobs - you can forward the cries of racism to moi.

id do it but im too lazy and inefficient.

charlietheminxx · 26-02-2015 07:49PM

It's the time outs that I am sad over. I use them as a straw for my coffee on days where I decide to be as indulgent as possible. Also I always get them free when I give blood

fussyonion · 26-02-2015 08:01PM

I've always loved Time-Outs; always selected them over any other chocolate/biscuit on offer and have bought them religiously for years.
I'm going to stock up on TONS of 'em before the year is out.

Jaysus just had a look, cant believe nobody set up a bookface page "Save Our Pink Snacks" yet.

AllGunsBlazing · 26-02-2015 08:08PM

No more pink snacks?!

Looks like I'll be raiding the shelves in Tesco tonight.

Timeout is probably safe with production moving to Poland.

Exactly. I can't believe there's a hullabaloo about pink snacks, and not a miog about the demise of Time Outs. Philistines.

Time outs nooooooo!!!!

Baby Jane · 27-02-2015 02:38AM

Fecking crap news about Time Outs. :mad:

Purple Snacks are so much more chocolatey (with nicer chocolate) than Club Milks. Never understood the Club Milk love.

But the quality will be abysmal. Look at the eclairs. I havent eaten them in years.
Anyway , most of this is due to maxing returns for shareholders. (Quality is already suffering)Before long there will be one person employed per factory and he/she will be bitched at for costing too much. There is no end to this nonsense.

No more pink snacks?
