Mondelez Int. IS Kraft. It's what was left of Kraft after they span off their grocery business which became Kraft Food Group (and later Kraft Heins).

Aldi’s and Lidl’s own brand milk chocolate tastes better and costs a mere fraction of the price.
Fake news!

Thanks goodness I dont eat any Chocolate
Cadbury's days are long gone. Just cheap rubbish churned out by a big name that once meant something.
IIRC, they're also using a lot of palm oil still.

I have a bad biscuit habit, and I notice similar quality trends there, but I'm really grateful that I don't have a chocolate habit. I do enjoy chocolate products if I have them, but when I do lapse, I'm usually disappointed by any modern confectionery. The 'chocolate' on everything from Jaffa Cakes, KitKats, through to full chocolate bars just tastes... wrong somehow. Might be my old taste buds and the rose-tinted nostalgia effect spoiling me, but I suspect modern manufacturing is so 'clever' now that they've managed to degrade the ingredients as far as humanly possible without losing the market altogether.
Nudge theory works in everything... tweak, let things settle, tweak, settle, tweak, and before you know it what you're eating is more nudge than fudge. And with news like that of Tesco screwing suppliers even harder than they already were, it's not going to get better. All the more reason to eat healthily, I suppose.
Now, back to my custard creams.

I tried Hershey's when in America, it LITERALLY tasted of vomit. Exactly how I described it to my other half. Absolute filth.

Yeah, Hershey's is awful and also reminds me of vomit.
Sauce?
Begone heathen! Fruit and Nut is what it's all about.Whole Nut is far better
Yep! Its like they are activiely trying to make it that flavour. I do not understand!! Although, apparently chocolate flavours vary a lot in different cultures, different places different expectations. Still cant ever imagine that tastes nice for anyone though?!
It comes from when Hershey's made chocolate before milk trucks were refrigerated. The milk has to travel further in the US, and it would go off, but Hershey's would use the milk anyway, and that's where Hershey's developed their signature "sour vomit" flavour to their chocolate. It's been going on so long that Americans think that it what chocolate is supposed to taste like, until they get the good stuff from Europe.
