Rightly so. I’m no connoisseur yet I’ve still lost count of how many times they very obviously cheapened the recipe since the Kraft/Mondelez buyout.
Give it a few more years and it’ll taste the same as that awful American Hersheys, which legally has to be labelled as “chocolate flavoured candy” as it bears no resemblance to true chocolate.
Good . It has been awful for years since being bought out.
Only a self hating king who felt he had to be punished would eat Cadburys.
Nothing to do with wealth either as Cadburys is more expensive than many far nicer alternatives.
I am not surprised. It’s taste is now awful and the texture us the same.
I used to love it and it was so engrained growing up I considered it the taste of the colour purple as a child.
Such a shame.
I also think Cadbury stuff is worse than it used to be, but does anybody actually pay attention to what has a royal warrant and genuinely care? Like, should I be looking at it as some sort of indicator of guaranteed quality?
“Conglomerate Nestlé also remains on the list” – That strikes me as odd coming from a king who is quite famously a vocal environmentalist.
It tastes like shit since the buyout.
Nationalise Cadburys Kier. Bring back best of br’t’sh
Excellent move, cadbury is trash bin chocolate at this point, it’s like chewing on a wax melt.
So what’s the best chocolate to get now that tastes like Cadbury’s used to?
Even Charlie thinks it’s gone to shit. I’m not going to lie, I hadn’t really noticed the change to the recipe when they first got bought out (probably because I don’t eat chocolate that often) but recently bought a packet of Chocolate buttons and I was shocked by the awful after taste they had.
Should have happened the second they changed the creme egg 6 pack to a 5 pack.
It’s a box of eggs. Eggs come in dozens and half dozens. That’s the whole fucking point.
Oof. Wondered why nestle still has a warrant but also see the new owners of carburys multinational are owned by Putin. Ones bad but the others worse!
I’m sorry did that article just say Putin owns a part of cadburys?
Whatever happened to the Cadbury’s that had a crunch to it? All these chocolates just melt in your mouth, and in a sickly way. I feel like I’m eating chocolate flavoured oil.
Do people still eat Cadbury’s while chocolate like Tony’s exists?
Generally speaking it is a good idea to avoid products with a royal warrant anyway
Infamously dropped off quick once they moved production to Poland. Top example of how the EU can kill national industries. Weak złoty + zero tariff trade = no reason to ever manufacture it in the UK.
Waitrose own plain milk and dark chocolate has no preservatives and is delicious
Should be because of their support to Israel’s genocide lol… free Palestine.
Have just found, thanks to Reddit, that Cadbury Dairy Milk with the factory code OBO is made in Bournville and tastes okay.
