Old Jamaica is the best bar they have ever produced yet it's long since been discontinued. Cadbury think we Brits will be more interested in Oreo.

Same, my grandfathers favourite chocolate and I picked up the taste for it as a kid. Impossible to get now, just have to settle with Bournville.

Not that impossible. You just have to click the link above your post!

I begrudge paying £3 for a choccie bar, never mind over £7.
And it needs to be in the proper packaging too, not imported stuff that probably doesn't taste the same. IT HAS TO BE THE SAME DAMMIT!
Cheap chocolate manufacturer being cheap shocker!
Cadbury dairy milk hasn’t been the same for years anyways although it’s not as bad as the bar I tried in new Zealand , no idea what the difference was but it was even worse than the uk dairy milk, if that’s even possible heheh
Personally these days I’d rather skip eating cheap chocolate too often and buy some decent chocs once in a while, feels much more satisfying

Anyone that has encountered Kraft products in the past knew that Cadbury’s was doomed the moment Kraft took over.
Taking out the main ingredient Doesn’t really make sense heh
Although an idea would be to make your own bar, buy some half decent chocolate, get some with a cacao% to your taste, melt and temper it , toast some hazelnuts, Mix the nuts and raisins into the chocolate and put in a makeshift mould and leave to set, a baking tray would be a decent mould for a big slab. I’ve made salted caramels before and it’s all pretty straight forward , just a bit messy

I feel your pain.. I had a Marathon bar last night (that's Snickers for most of you Millennials).. It was merely a bite size. I was most upset, as I eat chocolate so rarely - blahh.

Emphasis on the years, the recipe hasn't changed for over a century according to Cadbury.

I think we can expect the same from any future trade deal with the USA after brexit as the Americans did to the Great British products of Cabury after they took over.Bought one from asda 200g bar.
literally had 4 nuts and 3 raisins
what is this madness.
Think I should join the brigade who doesn't buy their crap anymore.
the lack of nuts and fruit made me realise just how bad their chocolate tastes.
If lidl in England is anything like Switzerlands I could pay £1 for a chocolate and nut bar that is more nuts than chocolate and be perfectly happy.
also the nuts in the cadbury bar seem to have no taste

I've had that Aussie one and it tastes completely different to the one we used to get over here.

Quoted for truth. Maybe it actually had a tiny bit of actual rum in it rather than just assorted chemical ruminess? That would be more than enough to have it elbowed off the shelves in this brave new nanny world. Having said that, failing a breathalyser straight after demolishing a bar would be a bit embarrassing. I suspect it would be more like a dozen bars to register a blip though, by which time diabetic coma might be more of a threat to your driving.
I'm now going to wander off and dream about having a Midnight Mint choc ice.

You have to get the "Duo" type bars these days to get a decent portion
I've been wondering why the wife keeps suggesting a duo?????
depends, if you've had a mad binge on Top Deck too you could well break the machine.
