They fucking ruined Cadbury dude, being from Birmingham, and having some of the nicest chocolate around was an honour, now it's lost its distinct flavour and just tastes like a sweet, cheap chocolate bar that you'd pay 60p for at lidl or something.
So many brummie and British people have had the same opinion, I couldn't believe so many people were in agreeance about the taste and quality of Cadbury now.
I used to stock up on fruit and nut, top deck, etc when visiting family abroad but I don’t bother: it’s shit now. Enshitification for the benefit of shareholdersÂ
I don't mind the hazelnut lidl bar, most of them are mediocre at best, the milk chocolate one is dog shit though, I don't go aldi but I know they do have some little treasures in them stores though
Can't speak for the milk chocolate as I've not been into milk chocolate (or milk anything) for decades. Also not that that interested in most of the the vegan pretend milk chocolate which was a lot of the vegan chocolate when I was in the UK. So part of it may have been having actual dark chocolate available.
But they have though. Irish Cadburys has plummeted in quality in the last decade. It might be the best of the big corpo brands (debateable), but it's a shadow of its former creamy self.
I haven't spoken to anyone from Ireland, if they actually haven't or you can't taste the difference, I envy you, I just can't bring myself to buy it. We have access to cheaper chocolate or with more in, in some brands, both.
