The fruit and nut they sell in Lidl is awesome if you fancy switching brands.

They do it on purpose.

Supposedly to adjust to local tastes but I'd just as much suspect it was to adjust to local supplies.

The milk powder has a different taste depending where the cows are in the world and what they were eating.

I swear I've never had a shandy anywhere near as satisfying. Probably because during that period my taste buds were wrecked sucking Spangles til my tongue bled.

I also think I may be spending too much time following this account... https://twitter.com/seventiesuk

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.

^^ It will no doubt be smaller and taste nothing like original.

They went downhill after Kraft bought them.

Maybe the new stuff just needs a "Special Ingredient" to compensate for going cheap on the rest of the recipe

Cadbury's have altered the taste of a lot of their traditional stuff and lost a lot of customers, me included.

Did any of you see a recent Dragons den where a young relative of the original Cadbury founders was making chocolate. The dragons were chomping at the bit to take him on because he has the actual Cadbury surname.
Peter Jones said that producing chocolate under his own name would be brilliant because there is nothing that Cadbury could do to stop him although they would certainly try.

This is my GFs favourite bar. They best not have borked it!! :mad:

I feel for the OP. If I found fruit in my chocolate I’d be fuming too, even if it was only a couple of bits!

The Aldi Version is awesome too, more fruit and nut than chocolate!

There is more than a few "Fruit & Nuts" here in this very forum.

The special ingredient in all US food is modified corn starch

Tastes like shy ate and bad for you too

The aldi and lidl ruit and nut bars are so much better. Plus they still put hazelnuts in whereas I think Cadburys use almonds now.

Spot on.

Seems he changed his mind after the show and going it alone, being on the show however has boosted his customer base with more stores taking up his products
