I’m sorry but anyone buying any of these this this Christmas needs their heads checked.
Not only are we being fleeced but they taste like absolute shite.
Cadbury and Nestlé need boycotting until we get the traditional taste and value back.

Yes your right. They are all shite. The most bland generic chocolate you can buy. Everyone will still buy them though, fools and their money eh
Greedy chocolate makers always have more than a few twix up their sleeves..
Greasy oily sharp tasting muck.
We haven’t bought them in 2 years. They’re not missed. Bastards.
Not wrong.
Yup, they have actually taken a nosedive from how crap they were last year to even worse this year, first year I think I’ve not bought chocolate at all!
Don’t buy them. I refuse to eat them. Buy from small Irish chocolate factories.
I just put a rake of these under the tree. Sad thing is, the Aldi chocolates have more cocoa and no palm oil in them but I’d feel bad gifting it!
Palm oil tasting crap. Don’t spend your money on it
Everybody saying they’re stinking definitely stuffs their face with them year whilst complaining
This sub has gone to shits
I’ve the pallet of a 5 year old, im still horsing them down. I pissed at the price and size of the tubs.
I’ll buy what I want to
You can get a decent price for a product that isn’t chocolate anymore, or you can pay bank for a product that still has cocoa in it.
Sadly due to cocoa prices (and some shameless profiteering), you’ll never get both back
Its been a horrible two years for cocoa farmers due to droughts and floods, we will never see cocoa prices go back to pre covid levels.
No matter the downvotes, At this stage I’m convinced there is astroturfing going on with these posts. Every year like clockwork it ramps up before Christmas.
Wonka, we need wonka
What ARE you buying? Bar WS they are all fine to me. Obviously Nestle (and probably the others) need boycotting for other, slave related, reasons
The only thing they taste of is vegetable oil and sugar
I think people are slowly copping on. This time last year my local shops were sold out of the tubs but this year the shops still have pallet loads
I bought some handmade Carol Kinsella chocs instead.
Lads, they’re cheap tubs of sweets for when you’re watching the telly over Christmas and they make convenient gifts for people you don’t need to put too much thought and expense into.
Give me all the bountys and then we can agree on the rest as muck.
Controversial, but Cadbury’s is the second worst chocolate, first place goes to Hershey’s. Cadbury’s reduced their Cacao content and increased sugar content to make manufacturing cheaper. With Milka, Ritter, Lindt etc now being readily available in Ireland I don’t know how Cadbury’s still maintains any market share. European chocolate is leagues ahead.
This is like if an AI mashed together all /r/Ireland posts into one.
1) moaning about pointless shit
2) using the place as a blog
3) a mention of boycotting/protesting/rioting
They’ve been getting worse since the 90s. Honestly lads just get some good cacao and bake somethin instead 💪💪💪
Fingers crossed if more people stop buying them then surely they will have to do something in the future – here’s me hoping. We didn’t buy them for the first time this year. In some shops they are piled up high
So the right wing agitators hate chocolate too. Can this sub get any more deplorable
Nestle always need boycotting. r/FuckNestle
Cadbury, Nestlé and Mars (Celebrations are made by Mars).
I haven’t and am not planning on buying any.
Not to mention the chronic abuse and underpayment of the workers and farmers
Still eating them, no problem at all. Eyeing them up now with a cup of tea later
Indeed, it’s basically Lindt, Butlers, or muck.
Mondelez should be banned. What they have done to Cadbury is obscene. Nestle standard has not dropped as much I don’t think, but both are nowhere near as good as they were.
An r/Ireland boycott of anything isn’t going to make a damn difference. Yes the product is gone to shit but nothing is going to change
I live in Canada were the chocolate is not great. You best believe I’m going through boxes of these when I’m home for Christmas next week.
Had a Milk Tray chocolate in work yesterday. Disgusting, tasted like solid vegetable oil. Milk Tray used to be delicious.
I can’t even look at the boxes. No idea what the obsession is about, but We Must Buy Them For The House. Every fucking year.
I miss all the old flavors in the roses tins. Coffee etc. They do suck now
It’s all made with Palm oil,. Not only does that cause massive deforestation and destruction of habitats wiping out millions of animals (not hyperbole, think insects not just mammals) it also very directly damages Irish dairy producers. Do not buy this, save the orangutans and at the same time support local artisan Irish producers. Local made chocolate tastes a million times better than this shiiite
Nestle need boycotting. No one should buy any of their shit ever
