As its easter I thought id wire in around a Munchies egg. I don't eat chocolate that often so I was looking forward to it.

It tasted gash! What has happened to the chocolate of yesteryear?

We've discussed this a few times in work, and I keep getting told the biggest change is Age and your taste buds..

Let it all go and ate some chocolate today for the first time this year, t'was gorgeous.

Munchies use to be own by Rowntrees and got taken over by Nestle. Maybe they changed the recipe since?

My tastebuds seem to have changed a bit since i was younger. Bitter things are less bitter, chocolate tastes more sugary than deep and rich, gravy doesn't taste as good... still love gravy though.

Today I discovered the chocolate used on normal sized Creme eggs is totally different to the stuff used on the mini ones, my world has been turned upside down.

Cadbury's made a change last year, or year before where most products made with Dairy Milk are now made with a cheaper cocoa mix instead.

Apparently everyone wanted it, because it tasted better.

edit - lol, apparently they lost £6m in sales because of the change too. Serves them right.

Were you eating the chocolate around low or high pitched noises?

Just be glad you don't have to eat US Hershey's.

All milk chocolate is solidified sugar with a dash of flavouring ( probably some extra sugar ! )

Get some 80%+ cocoa dark chocolate, sit back, enjoy

The only choc bar that hasn't been ruined is MARATHON ( not Snickers - stupid name ), they may have messed around with the sizes, but a MARATHON ( not Snickers - still a stupid name ) thats been in the fridge for a couple of days is a delight to consume

Serves the penny pinching morons right for trying to save money by ruining a classic. Hopefully they'll wise up and change it back.
