They didn't believe that the iPhone revolution would succeed, and we're still a bit steadfast in their innovations.

I actually had a work Windows Nokia phone about 10 years ago and it was fantastic. I gave it to my mum after as it was so intuitive to use. I think it was running for about 6 years in total, though slow as hell by the end.
Cadbury on the other hand just is bait and switch. Heroes were bloody rotten this Christmas, I haven't had a dairy bar in jonks. Tony's or M and S for me
Best ever and it still tastes like it did years ago, its the only one that hasn't changed. I had a fruit and nut recently for the first time in years and it was manky.
None. All vile. Notice how the word “chocolate” doesn’t appear on any Cadbury product; because the cocoa solids are so low it’s not allowed to call its products chocolate
It says milk chocolate on the wrapper on the rear side. Specifically all those bars say along the lines of “milk chocolate with” and the name of the filling.
Cadburys is muck. I grew up eating it and have had to switch to Galaxy chocolate if i want a treat for myself. Expensive palm oil is what you're eating.
Some of the bars there have 0 lethicins or emulsifiers, the actual milk chocolate percentage is quite high aswell! Cadbury’s and the like have very little real cocoa and far too much additives to cut costs, gives it that tasteless plastic-like feel. Tesco is brilliant.
It's nice. Who gives a shit if it isn't artisan Belgian 90% dark chocolate, grown on the western slope of mt Everest, fed water from the antarctic glaciers and produced by God himself

The complaints are that it is it worse than it used to be, not that it isn't posh enough. Weird to twist yourself in a knot to misrepresent criticisms of a corporation.
Listen, I ate a packet of cheapy Lidl chocolate lollies over Christmas. The taste is all subjective. It is depressing seeing people basically say "you're all wrong, I'm right." It creates an echo chamber. There's nothing wrong with preferring pre Mondelez Cadbury's but the negativity on here makes it like you're a gowl for still enjoying it. It's sad. It's not conducive to actual discussion.

No, and I didn't reply to say it was wrong to prefer the new chocolate - I replied to someone ridiculously pretending all the criticism is coming from snobs who only eat designer chocolate and further down, pointing to profitability like that should be any consumers concern for a corporation they are a customer of.
but the negativity on here makes it like you're a gowl for still enjoying it.
I'm sorry if reading "it's shit now" makes you feel bad but I don't think a thread full of "I don't like it but it's ok if you do!!"s is any more stimulating as an "actual discussion". And I think it should be implicit to someone reading a low-stakes thread about chocolate preferences that everything within is an opinion and not a personal attack.
Bro I'm not that sensitive, it's just the constant negativity and moaning. It's exhausting and redundant. It's chocolate, just get some you like and whisht.
All of the branded chocolate bars are roughly the same price, buddy. Are you telling me a dairy milk bar is twice the price of a Galaxy bar? Or a twix, mate?
Too sweet and Cadbury’s chocolate is mostly rank now. The Marvellous Creation one with popping candy, smarties and chewy bits is the best imo. And Golden and Mint Crisps. Because I don’t want to lose citizenship.
There's a Milka Daim that's slightly superior
Yes, absolutely. Cadbury Daim was my go-to before they went to shit generally. The Milka Daim is nicer.
Marabou Dime is better than both, bar not the roll
It's manky compared to Cadbury's one, and I usually really enjoy Milka.
Cadburys are like what happened to Nokia. They were clearly superior then got bought out by a conglomerate and turned to shite.
They're coasting on their brand and nostalgia, what's inside that wrapper is an insult to the palette
Not technically correct on Nokia comparison

Tbh I was more mad about the whole institution of cadburys going to shite than giving much of a damn about the Nokia analogy..
Then don't make the analogy!
I'd have an actual daim bar over this
Haven't had one in years. Luckily, I still have a bit stuck in my teeth.
Daim bars have actual chocolate in them
There is no best anymore, they've ruined all of their "chocolate" so much they can't even call it chocolate anymore
Mint crisp
It’s shockingly good
Ah but when it used to be in the foil
Yes, Mint Crisp is the best
Best ever and it still tastes like it did years ago, its the only one that hasn't changed. I had a fruit and nut recently for the first time in years and it was manky.
The ones from about 10 years ago. Pure muck nowadays. 😔
Hahaha this sub hates Cadburys now 😂😂😂
None. All vile. Notice how the word “chocolate” doesn’t appear on any Cadbury product; because the cocoa solids are so low it’s not allowed to call its products chocolate
Yep. Vile is the only word for them.
What? Why are people always pushing this myth. And others upvoting it. The product on their website clearly says “milk chocolate”.
https://www.cadbury.ie/products/cadbury-dairy-milk-daim-chocolate-bar-120g/
This person said it doesn't appear on any Cadbury product, not that it doesn't appear on their website.
It says milk chocolate on the wrapper on the rear side. Specifically all those bars say along the lines of “milk chocolate with” and the name of the filling.
As far as I know cadburys is still legally chocolate for now as it has (barely) more than 25% cocoa solids.
The only products that have been downgraded and had to change their packaging are Penguin bars, Club Milks, and Toffee Crisp bars.
Starbar
Oreo but only the sandwich ones. They're my roman empire
Just get a Daim bar. Literal crack.
Regular Cadburys is the one for me. Or mint/golden crisp. Oreo is for babies and white chocolate fans
Aldi Fruit and Nut for me..
Lidl Milk chocolate hazelnut bar is unreal as well
I used to eat it but it tastes so unnatural I bet it's mainly palm oil and sugar
An bar that's more than 25% chocolate not cadburys 20% or less.
Mint and golden crisp
Ritter sport
Milka > Cadbury by a mile nowadays
Cadburys is muck. I grew up eating it and have had to switch to Galaxy chocolate if i want a treat for myself. Expensive palm oil is what you're eating.
There isn't a best one since they replaced the milk for palm olive oil.
Milka chocolate is where it is at.
Milka, Cadburies - they are both Mondelez so expect them to just get worse.
None, Tesco chocolate is superior
It's what now? Are you taking the piss or is it actually good? I've always just waived it off so I'm curious.
Some of the bars there have 0 lethicins or emulsifiers, the actual milk chocolate percentage is quite high aswell! Cadbury’s and the like have very little real cocoa and far too much additives to cut costs, gives it that tasteless plastic-like feel. Tesco is brilliant.
I'll give it a go so, cheers
Never understood you psychos eating Daim... Do you enjoy having it stuck all over your teeth? Weirdos...
That's the best part. The longevity.
😂
It’s great value for money 😂 eat it. Eat it again in 4hours when you finally get it out of you molars
Give me a Cadbury’s Marvellous Creations!
It's glorious.
Used to be a big Tiffin fan but yeah, their corporate “chocolate” holds no appeal for me these days. Ferrero or Lindt would be my go to.
The best is in the past. Nothing but palm oil now.
Here comes everyone to complain about cadburys.

Glad you're not being sensitive
Not very conductive to actual discussion either
It’s nice. Yeah sure it is. But is it what it used to be? Are they charging us more money worse product and they’re making more of it? The neck.
It's the same price as any other chocolate bar out there
Things cost money, that's just life. It's almost like the company is there to make money or something
It’s actually not it’s about 2x the price these days pal yeah
All of the branded chocolate bars are roughly the same price, buddy. Are you telling me a dairy milk bar is twice the price of a Galaxy bar? Or a twix, mate?
Yeah.

Hazelnut. Nom!
The addition of a dime bar was a great idea. I love these. The Oreo ones are a close second.
Also highly recommend a bar or NZ Whittakers to anyone who can get their hands on it. Unreal stuff and will miss it intensely when I am back home
Mint crisp
Top Deck
While the Top Decks are still available? I don't think so.
Too sweet and Cadbury’s chocolate is mostly rank now. The Marvellous Creation one with popping candy, smarties and chewy bits is the best imo. And Golden and Mint Crisps. Because I don’t want to lose citizenship.
Wholenut. Next.
I tried Marabou daim for the first time last week and I gotta say that is the superior of the daim bars
every bar pre-Kraft
90s freddo and I'll fight any child that says different
They're all fairly grotesque now to be fair.
Honestly, their regular eight square Dairy Milk. It's my favourite and always will be.
Edit: the amount of negativity on this post is honestly so depressing.
Isn’t it! People love to give out
Cadbury has gone to shit! Not even chocolate any more! 🤮🤮
Tony's has become my go to!
Knacker bar
Golden Crisp.
Always has been
Teeth destroyer
Won’t buy Cadbury anymore it’s disgusting
Cadburys can't even label itself milk chocolate anymore
Oreo
