I used to insist my husband only bought me Cadbury chocolate now to add to his confusion I instead insist on no Cadbury chocolate at all. It has effected every one of their products, not just the blocks, but also the chocolate bars like Crunchie bars & Time outs. The chocolate is a sickly sweet product that covers them now.

I noted on TV the other day that Cadbury advertises “A glass and a half of smoothness”

What happened to “A glass and a half of rich full cream milk”?

Can anyone tell me why any company would change a product that is excellent to one that didn’t sell?

I’d be interested in the history of the dialogue that took place that led to the changes Cadbury in chocolate to what it is today. For your information it is still bad, something has been lost

Cadburys was the best chocolate and l am 53 years old and l say bye bye to cadburys……………..

I’m sure Cadburys will be a case study in how to completely mess up your business model in the years to come.

Anyhow I kindly sent an email to Cadbury’s (Australia) in May 2010 asking weather they used Hydrogenated Vegetable oil there answer was yes.

Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil = (Vegetable Fat) = Trans Fat.
“As most vegetables that contain fats are liquid not solid.”
(Which increase cholesterol + Heart Attacks, Etc

Check out this web site for the possible Trans Fat Replacement.
Web Link: http://www.theheart.org/article/765927.do
Possibly the next replacement for cocoa butter.

Anyhow Today I noticed they changed to a different recipe which now contains (Cocoa Mass) ???? minus Vegetable Fat.

Regardless now I will never buy Cadbury’s again as they keep
messing with their products but so do a lot of other manufacturers. Keep your eyes open.

What annoys me is the info on there web site admitting to it
link below, But don’t inform you on the label until you read
the small text in ingredients.
When there’s a new cheaper Fat they will do it all over
again and not tell us they have lost my trust.

I’m now 100% converted to Lindt.
(Which is how real chocolate is made.)

I’m not sure if the old recipe is back or not, because i’m also not paying $5 to lose 1/4 of the block either

It’s been a year now since I’ve eat their new unimproved chocolate.

now a warning to all you chocaholics out there…cut back while you can…you will thank me when you are old enough to start getting your blood cholesterol tested, discover it is too high, as is your weight and you are forced to start dieting.. against the will of your tastebuds and excercising against the will of your joints.

The combined complaints of all your extraneous body parts will drive you mad.

Was it a once off mistake or have Cadbury gone off the deep end and removed all nuts from their range lol?

Where the fuck are my nuts ?

Well they arn`t and the hazel nut is so different since they have taken out the WHOLE NUTS. Infact i did send an email to say some one may sue because there seems to be bits of shell left. have you ever tried to eat shell you almost break a tooth.

I dont think they can recover from this BIG MISTAKE.

Cadbury clearly don’t care about their once loyal customer base.

I am so sick of products being changed for the betterment of the balance sheet and not the consumer. They just don’t get it that they lose customers when they do this type of thing. Less customers, less profit.

Very disappointed with Cadbury – why make the chocolate so thin!!

Because apparently that's what Australian's want. Working families aren't worried about the economy, education, employment or the state of Australia… they're worried about the thickness of their chocolate blocks.

(I’ve only tried the new version of Snack, and haven’t bought any of the new improved smaller choc bars since. My wife switched to Lindt and I’ve switched to dried apricots & almonds for my snacking.)

Give that man a hand. Exemplary
