I know this is a bit random but I am annoyed about it.  Has anyone else noticed how crap Cadbury's chocolate now tastes?  Since they have been taken over the chocolate tastes awful and cheap.  I used to adore it and now it stinks. 

Sorry, I know there are better things to complain about.

I must admit I hadn't noticed, but then I'm not having chocolate just now (trying to lose weight and if I start I won't stop.)

Yes - definitely - it's much crappier now than it was.

And the flakes aren't so crumbly

You don't know what crap is until you taste the American chocolate.  Away from home for 6 months I am getting withdrawal symptoms. Oh please give me some Cadburys

Sadly cadbury's is now American (kraft). i don't approve of them sending the factories abroad but i suppose thats competition. What do you do? if you refuse to buy it will that mean more british people loosing they're jobs.

[Bionic]

Yes, I was one of those people gutted when it changed ownership. I don't want anyone to loose their jobs and I don't want them to change the recipe. However, from the previous posts it sounds as if that may already be happening.

Glad it's not just me then.

I'm going to have to go and buy some, just to check    will be very sad to see Cadbury's lose its unique taste, it is my favourite.  I remember once when hubby and I were young and daft and before kids, we went to mexico and were down to our last few coins on the flight home. we had a stopover in the States and bought a hershey bar, OMG it was so yuk!!! our last few pennies, down the drain that was!

I know, Hershey's chocolate is gross, and tastes like it's about 10 years out of date.

Bionic - Cadbury's does actually taste like the American version (and Australian too).  Someone told me that the British version was made differently to everywhere else so maybe now they are getting all recipes to conform all over to save costs.

I stopped buying any cadbury product when Kraft took it over, which was when all the UK jobs went.

This is devastating news. I don't often eating chocolate but when I do I like a nice bar of dairy milk, I hope they don't change the recipe on drinking chocolate chunks that is my one thing that gets me through the long winter nights.

Not sure about the American stuff but the Aussie chocolate is really awful. Not sure what they put in it but it's to stop it melting in the hot weather, so it just isn't like what we know as chocolate at all. The Aussies also accept ....... Wait for it.......a certain percentage of.........cockroach in their chocolate!! Blech!
I was also very saddened when Cadbury was sold seems like we have very little British products left. God save Tunnocks!

Cockroach - oh scrumptious 

I had noticed Cadburys seemed not so more-ish recently but thought it was down to my better willpower  ha.

I prefer Thorntons anyway and you can often get special offers

Green and Black's Milk - my favourite. Although I think G&B is owned by Cadbury now too. Soon the whole world will be owned by a few huge companies - then there will be us smallholders holding back the flood.
