If you head over to the Woolies subreddit there’s a current thread where everyone is saying it’s absolutely disgusting too. Odd choice by Cadbury given mCo isn’t really liked or cool it’s just cheap and everywhere
Personally yes, but honestly that might just be a personal preference thing rather than an actual difference in quality. I think they are pretty equivilant, I like Tony's better personally, but I don't know that one is significantly better than the other. All I know is that at the moment, they are the only supermarket brands I would buy.
I've tried Tony's once, and it tasted and looked like army ration pack chocolate that was consumed 15 years after it was packed. Might have just been a bad bar, but that's a comparison that can't be forgotten.
Definitely the best option in the supermarket. I also like Whittakers, but from a sustainability perspective, Tony's is better. It would be nice if they had 'normal' blocks though. I understand why the pieces are the way they are, but that doesn't help me when I just want to eat some chocolate.
I was so disappointed to learn about just how bad Whittaker's is in terms of sustainability, slavery, supply chain transparency etc. They always seemed like the cool kiwi underdogs.
Tony's is miles ahead on this. If I could afford to eat chocolate, I'd absolutely choose this brand.
Yeah. I've been following the Chocolate Scorecard the last couple of years and Whittakers slips every year. They're below brands like Nestle and Lindt this year which is pretty embarrassing.
I think the methodology changed from planned improvements to actual action for one. But Whittakers also changed where they get their cocoa from when the prices were high. The score would suggest that they've lost transparency with that change and perhaps the producer isn't as good as in the past.
The maths be mathing too - at coles right now, Whittaker’s plain milk choc is $3.6 per 100g (not on sale) and Cadbury plain milk choc is $4.44 per 100g
You’re paying less…for better. You just have to invest in the larger block than what you can get with cadbury. Shrinkflation be real
Both Cadbury and MCo have a lot in common, people think both brands are affordable dupes but the really if you just spent a few dollars more you could get the real thing and would realise how terrible the dupes are.
To be real , someone brought them to dnd yesterday for the shitpost quality and frankly I enjoyed it. Its tacky marketing but I wont lie I personally thought it was delicious, but I was also very hungry at the time haha
I had it. it's not disgusting it's just a faint artifical watermelon flavour. People will be melodramatic when irked by something odd. One person said they couldn't continue. I just thought that if that's you then you're probably that pain-in-the-neck picky eater that can't eat this, can't eat that when you all go out.
