Thank you all for entering and voting for The Great Chocolate Poll. It's been a blast. I figured it would have been a Aero/KitKat type winner and certainly not Twirl which I thought would have falled by the wayside.

Below is a total of all the votes from each heat (not including deadheats) so you can see where your favourite chocolate bar is in relation to the others. Apologies for the layout but not sure how else to do this.

That's... depressing

Twirl? No way!

What rocks: Cadbury won.
What sucks: It was Twirl that won.

8 out of the top 15 are Cadbury
only 3 each of Mars and Nestle
and Terry's chocolate orange was in there too

That kind of sums up my preferences in order

Twirl just isn't the first chocolate bar that comes to mind when I think of great ones I have to say

Are we normal?

I'll go for the obvious response:

Need you ask?

From the various replies in the previous threads, it looks like it was the Twirl-can-be-used-as-a-straw trick that won it over!

That's what I suspected too

Yeah, and I started that one... my mother would have been so proud!

May I also be the first to thank you for running this poll. It's been fun!

I'm seeing a pattern with big polls like this both this one & the film one gave us a surprise winner.

Anyway, cheers for running this one, it's been emotional

Who's got the next one?

Well done that was fun.

What's the next super long poll going to be?

Hopefully not something we've done before.

Most of those are all the same kind of chocolate, but just squirted through different nozzles to change the shape, so really the choice is between Cadbury’s, Nestlé and Mars, which shouldn’t qualify as chocolate according to manufacturers from across the Channel. Different delivery systems means that the choice has ballooned into an incredibly long list.

What happened to Green and Blacks? I’m sure they were there somewhere, as were other more distinct, and proper, European chocolates?

And, yes, I did vote in the polls where there were chocolates I like, and where the choice was more than just a list of Cadbury’s output.
