Nothing is worse than what they did to Sugar Puffs. Absolutely criminal

Worst idea selling a chocolate company to the Americans, they have no idea how to make good chocolate. We should have nationalised Cadbury

Pretty much all mainstream chocolate is absolute rubbish these days.

It’s because of the sugar police

1920. The 'crumbliest flakiest chocolate' was first developed in 1920. A canny Cadbury employee noticed that, when the excess from chocolate moulds was drained off, it fell in a stream and created flaky, folded chocolate.

Just pooped out chocolate.

100%. Americans are the worst when it comes to actually nice things; especially food.

Never was a huge fan of the Flake but I did like their adverts

Na, marathons were massive compared to snickers. Completely different in my eyes

Then why is sugar free tango the same price as the 'full fat' tango in tescos?

Riddle me that.

Because.....er... Greed? (and its cheaper to build stuff abroad)

to be fair on the orginal article, althrough I love a good flake and they are great shoved on top of an ice cream, I have never understood why the product took off in the first place. If you eat one at home/office/car you have to spend about 100 hours cleaning up the mess that you make. Worse when you sit on bits that have fallen on a chair, so your backside is covered in brown stains.

Bournville is still the "home". Beautiful place.

I guess the argument is they are outsourcing the "unimportant stuff" so that the HQ can focus on high value stuff...
