I've just had my 4 iterations of chemo cut to 3 so they plan to operate mid Feb.

Oh good news Alun

Best start to the year I could hope for.

I'm sure I speak on behalf of everybody here when I say I hope the news continues to improve.

Cheers

Shellshock! Cadbury comes clean on Creme Egg chocolate change

Considering Dairy Milk hasn't tasted right for years, for me it won't matter.

From snacks to proper food, next to fcuk all tastes the way it used to. Less of the goodness, much more of the price gouging

Cadbury's chocolate used to taste good. It made Nestle bars seem like cheap [LIFTED]. Since the takeover, Cadbury's just tastes nasty. I've now switched to Lindt Hello bars.

This. Cadburys dairy milk used to be..OK. Edible. I hadn't had any in a while and I had a bar over christmas. It was way sweeter and the texture was all wrong. Ugh.

it's gone hershey's way
Quality streets are pretty rank these days as well.

Aldi and Lidl have decent chocolate seashells

For some reason I've never enjoyed chocolate seashells. Never quite understood why. I've tried American chocolate/candy when I was in Vegas and TBH it tasted like cheap rubbish, and that's the way the likes of Cadbury's has gone. I've never really liked Nestle chocolate - I might choose a Lion bar, Kitkat, or Rolo once a year. I tend to eat more Yorkie but the plain bar is nasty and the raisin'n'biscuit is tastier. Cadbury's used to be a cut above the rest but it's become cheap tat. As I've said above, I love the small Lindt Hello bars - enough to satisfy my craving without too many calories like in a block bar.

this is what we're rocking lately

To be honest, it's a good way to stop eating crap and start eating a little bit better.
I mean, if all the chocolate in the land goes the way of Cadbury and starts becoming cheap horrible rubbish, then it' said stealth move by the chocolate companies that will backfire.
Even Jelly Babies aren't the same these days as they once were.

Lol i read about cadbury's using inferior chocolate on their creme egss this morning so whilst I was brushing my teeth, i didn ponder whether it's a way of manipulating the public. In order to do what I'm not sure.
