Puddles in my Cadbury's Chocolate.

ArtSmart · 16-01-2016 07:13PM #1

I know Cocoa * is becoming more and more expensive...

but puddles? In my chocolate? Ugh.

We are witnessing the Death of the Plain Bar of Chocolate my friends.

Remember these times.

They're going to put a tax on chocolate soon.

Badly Drunk Boy · 16-01-2016 07:16PM

You got chocolate...and then puddles for free? Nice!

You poor deluded chocoholic....

They're replacing the good stuff with muck fillings!

Don't you get it?

me_irl · 16-01-2016 07:21PM

Pfffft, we all know the real good stuff is Green&Blacks 80% cocoa.

One moment, I have to scold the servants....

HeidiHeidi · 16-01-2016 07:21PM

Whaddya mean, puddles?

snubbleste · 16-01-2016 07:22PM

I have gone G&B Mainline, now and then

but I still have a hankering for the Cadbury's Plain BOC.

Damn it, I'd even pay 40% extra for a bar o' the plain stuff...

Of course, that would expose their marketing campaign for what it truly is, so that's unlikely to happen.

strelok · 16-01-2016 07:32PM

an article about how great fairtrade is written by the fairtrade consortium

well that's nice

GreatDefector · 16-01-2016 07:35PM

€1.40 a bar today in store?!

Sweet mother of baby jebus. Kraft really are running cadbury's into the ground

Don't buy the price of Cocoa spiel.
Aldi/Lidl have huge bars of 70 or 80% chocolate for the same price of one of those oily sugar laden Cadburys bars.

suicide_circus · 16-01-2016 07:59PM

I would choose pretty much any brand of chocolate over cadburys now (except for double decker and maybe whispa). It really has gone from excellent to bottom of the barrel in the last 20 years.

Banjo String · 16-01-2016 08:10PM

Am I just suddenly realising I've massive big hands, or have bars of chocolate gotten far, far smaller?

Yorkies for example used to look huge, and it was rare I could eat them in one sitting.

Now yorkies seem mediocre, small even.. Same with all the others.

16-01-2016 08:12PM

It's all just chocolate flavoured palm oil these days

caille · 16-01-2016 08:59PM

Do you know, the nicest chocolates I got this Christmas just gone were Marks and Spencers blue box of milk chocolates? Proper, decent tasting chocolate with real fillings, I am done with Cadbury's, manky cheap fillings in the chocolates and ever decreasing bars.

ToddyDoody · 16-01-2016 09:03PM

I had a dream there were puddles in my chocolate, puddles in my chocolate.

wendell borton · 16-01-2016 09:07PM

Cadbury is just a name on wrapper now.

JupiterKid · 16-01-2016 09:27PM

Cadburys has definitely gone downhill in the past 15-20 years. Lild or Aldi own brand chocolate for me nowadays.

corsav6 · 16-01-2016 09:39PM

We got a box of roses for Xmas and not one dairy milk to be seen, everything had more filling than chocolate.

The Golden Miller · 16-01-2016 09:55PM

Mondelez (or whoever owns Cadburys now) outsourced UK Cadbury's to mainland Europe and got rid of some of the ingredients to save money and it tastes rubbish. So the only place still making the original Cadburys chocolate is Cadbury's Ireland in Coolock. Check the label before you buy it in the shops because Dunnes, Tesco and Super Valu stock both the UK and Irish Cadburys bars and mix them up

ArtSmart · 06-02-2016 01:18PM

Speaking of Dunnes Stores...

I jsut got a number of super large REAL (ie Coolock) Cadbury's plain ol chocolate bar for €2!!!!

Yup

€2

This is the highlight of my year so far.

(Oh, and getting engaged of course.)

misstearheus · 06-02-2016 01:26PM

I love a good bag of Tasters I do. I might go have a google, see if they can be got anywhere online.

Ps: congrats ArtSmart!

you're so 'plain'....you really think this thread is about you... you're so 'plain'...

Hammer89 · 06-02-2016 02:37PM

Do you know what I miss? The old Dairy Milks. No, not the ones with the eight little squares - I'm going back further. You could slide these things underneath a door. They were long and skinny, but very, very lovely - the Maria Sharapova of chocolate I'd say. They remind me of childhood.

And you'd open them slowly, like a Christmas present from your auntie - you know it's sh*t so you delay the unwrapping process in order to buy yourself time to think how to hide your disgust. With the bars though, you'd open them slowly to tease yourself, like unbuttoning the blouse of your dream woman one by one. You're about to see greatness, but you build yourself up to it.

What a f*cking bar.

misstearheus · 06-02-2016 02:47PM

I want Tasters now. *stamps feet* Feic ya anyways O.P.

warpdrive · 06-02-2016 02:49PM

Milka and Lindt are probably the nicest chocolate available at the moment. We can't get them here, at least afaik, but Milka Oreo bars are absolutely unbelievable

Jesus I would love a double decker

yorkie used to have a letter on each piece.

Y
O
R
K
I
E

I don't know this first hand, as i am a girl - i'm not allowed to have yorkies

They still sell these. Or am I thinking of the wrong bar?
