    I hope it is, after just buying a tin of roses with only crappy flavours left and about half as many as usual I am very pissed off at Cadbury. :mad:

    I don't think it means a lot...the chocolate will remain the same I'd imagine!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,919 ✭✭✭Schism


    It'll be fine, they'll still make the same products.

    Part of me hopes they take over and make the chocolate completly awful. So awful in fact that i refuse to buy it. My Booty will be eternally grateful :o

    My only issue with Kraft is that they haven't launched Kraft Dinner or Cheez Whiz here yet.

    Cadbury has already merged with trebor bassett and schweppes. And though they've made some very bad decisions on a corporate level (e.g. the attempt to replace Wispa with Bubbly and such), the chocolate is essentially the same.

    I live in hope that this merger goes ahead and they conceive of the perfect combination of processed cheese and cadburys chocolate! *drool*

    pardon me... i just had a foodgasm ;)

    I think the worry is that although they have the same name they might be "new & improved"

    I doubt it, its quite common for one company to use different recipies in different countries to suit local tastes. (australian cadburys is way different, and the nicest bar is only available here "cadbury snack")

    And often local climates or other conditions -while they always will claim it is for taste like any change is always "new & improved". e.g. in australia I heard the recipie is to suit the hotter climate to stop it melting.

    Heineken is 4.3% only in Ireland and 1 other country, this is to match the local mass market beers which are all around that %. Other beers & spirits are varying levels of alcohol for tax and/or duty purposes. Gordons gin dropped to 37.5% in the UK and sales plummeted, so they had to bring it back to 40%.

    In the US they will use high fructose corn syrup rather than sugar a lot of the time. IIRC in some countries chocolate must have a certain % of cocoa solids before it can legally be called chocolate.

    I've been told that about Australia alright, apparently its the addition of a type of wax.
    It certainly doesn't taste as nice, but the dark stuff is nice
