“For mash get Smash” that jingle will never leave my head
It had left mine... now it's there again.... Ta!
After Kraft bought Cadbury, they decided to close down New Zealand's chocolate factory. Since the brand was so loved, there was an attempt to turn the factory into a museum. But there was a higher bid from a developer. They were in such a hurry that when the bulldozers arrived, there were still historical items in the buildings. I think they managed to get most of them out, but the brand was severely damaged.
Fun fact regarding Mars. When Mars first started in the UK they bought in Cadbury chocolate. The deal was that they could use it to coat their products, but we're not allowed to make a solid chocolate bar.
So the original Mars bar in the UK had a Cadbury outer layer. One of the Cadbury family later said that selling to Mars was their biggest ever commercial mistake (but of course that was long before they sold out to Kraft)
Mars bars have to be the greatest American contribution to British life. I remember when they were so big that they cost 7d, a penny more than other chocolate bars.
I won an essay competition in 1955 at Primary School about the history of chocolate. I got a certificate (which I still have) and 12 free bars of filled chocolate (which I don't still have!) Philip Heselton
Bournville is a lovely place, well worth a visit. Fun fact the railway station is painted in Cadbury purple. As a kid we would get a train to Birmingham and it went past Cadburys. If you stuck your head out of the window you could smell the chocolate, it was wonderful.
Same here in south london with the paynes poppetts factory. Ahhh the smell.
@@ChavJag Wow! Paynes Poppets! They really were the Vicar's knickers!
I remember them in little cardboard boxes, sold from vending machines at railway stations!
I used to get £1 pocket money every saturday morning from me dad and the post office next to the toy shop that i lived above also double up as a sweetshop which had pretty much every sweet product that was on the market back in the 80's.
Do you you remember the wall of jars full of sweets? Can of coke , bag of sweets and box of poppets later and i was back upstairs with no money left but i didn't care. i was too busy chomping while watching number 73 or going live :-)
I visited the factory in the 1950s on a school trip; we were all given a small selection box as we left.
The Cadbury gorilla ad is the best ever!!
I'm kind of liking the Twix bear one.
Cream Eggs own my soul, always buy the biggest box possible too.

You forgot to mention that Cadbury as Quakers wanted an alternative to alcohol as a product for the masses. In addition Bournville provide housing with gardens for workers along with schools, shops, entertainment but there are no Pubs even today in Bournville.
when pubs are so expensive, why have them ??
Still can't cut down trees unless it's replaced on any property in the area!
@@b3564 um, where was 'cut down trees' mentioned???
It wasn't mentioned, but the "even today" I imagine prompted more on the "still" happening theme of continuity.
@@philroberts7238 well come back in the morning, hope you make better sense then :/
Both my uncles worked for Cadbury's Somerdale factory in Keynsham, Bristol. Always plenty of Bar Six, Turkish Delight and Picnic around when I was growing up! Incidentally, even though Fry's was purchased by Cadbury decades before, the Fry's signage remained on the main factory building until the 1980's and locals always called it Fry's.
I actually put off watching this for a day because, as you say, Cadbury vs US chocolate has been done to death- but this was a definite twist, and more original.
I think Brits say 'Cadb'ry' with emphasis on the 'Cad' part.
The purple really is iconic. I've seen a few US reactors looking at British TV ads saying "They should have mentioned the product by name, or shown it, or whatever. The point is, they don't need to, because of the purple brand recognition! My daughter has severe learning difficulties, but even she can spot a pack of Cadbury product (even one she hasn't seen before) by its purple colour, and come and grab it off the side.
One thing you didn't mention was the fact that many people in Britain measure inflation by the cost of a Freddo Bar. (10p in the early 2000's and a massive 25p now!) It's a thing!
"They peel them with their metal knives". Now, I'm not old enough to remember that Smash advertising campaign, but my mum is, and it obviously made an impression because she told me and my siblings about it many years later, and now I'm stuck with it in my head, too 😂
“Then they smash them all to bits….” Cue raucous laughter 🤣🤣
Ice Breaker, Jamaica Rum, 12 Blackjacks for a penny, old money, Wombles, Mary Mungo and Midge, Tucker Jenkins. I remember it all sadly.
.... And then they smash them to pieces hahahaha.
For Mash get Smash.
..."they cook them in twenty of their minutes" was a catchphrase in our house for years
😊❤😊❤ I _am_ old enough (& I do!!) Remember the 'Smash' ads!! Heheheheh!!😊❤😊❤😊🏴🇬🇧🖖
Rowntree ( another Quaker company ), Terry's, Thornton's are a few other great UK created brands.
In 1999 Cadbury bought Polish flagship chocolate manufacturer E.Wedel from PepsiCo for 76.5 million USD. They sold it in January 2010 to Kraft Foods for 19.6 billion USD; not a bad deal. In June 2010 E.Wedel finally became a part of Lotte Group from South Korea.
Kraft Food owns Cadbury
Great brief history. On British pronunciation - you’re most likely to hear ‘Cadbree’ from the locals.
Fry's was a Bristol company. It was here in Bristol, where apart from the first chocolate bar, we produced the world's first Easter egg! Chocs are still made here from smaller manufacturers, though.
Thanks for such an informative video 😊 You're right. Us Brits pronounce Cadbury's differently. We put the stress on the "a" and we pronounce the "bury" like "Bree". I hope this helps!
Quakers were quite prominent in Cocoa/chocolate in UK, with brands like Terry's of York, Rowntree's, also of York.
It was common for Quakers to invest in the health and wellbeing of their employees.
There are many parts of York which owe their nature to Rowntree's (parks and housing) including the suburb of New Earswick.
You can spot Quaker built suburbs, they have no Pubs, Quakers were/are into Temperance.
My favourite Cadbury product, ever since I was a child, was Bournville dark chocolate. And now I know that dark chocolate is better for you.
I remember loving the Smash adverts, and being totally blown away by the gorilla ad when I first saw it. The taste depends so much on the texture: Flake doesn't taste like Buttons, doesn't taste like Dairy Milk. And Easter Eggs have a unique taste of their own. I still like the brands of my youth -Crunchie, Fry's, Munchies. Then I found Ritter's Sport dark chocolate with a peppermint fondant filling... Yum!
I was born in Birkenhead, on the Wirral, a mile across the river mersey from Liverpool, UK, in 1943. My aunt worked at the Cadbury's Moreton factory, on the Wirral, (opened in 1954). I've always remembered her telling me, that the day she started, she was told to eat as many chocolates as she wanted. It only lasted one day, one day of chocolates, was as much as she could handle. 😁
The pronunciation is Cadbəry (or even Cadbry). The vowel sound is not a 'u' but the most common vowel sound in English - a schwa (think the 'a' in 'about').
Hello, Hello! New viewer here! I have binged soooo many of your videos, today! I came across one where you read negative comments people had left and may I just say; They don't have a clue what they're talking about! From what I have seen, your videos are awesome, please keep them up!
I hope you have (overall) been made to feel welcome in the UK. You seem genuinely interested in our little quirks and oddities, and it really is appreciated. As someone preparing to move to the US, I can really dig your vibe and it has inspired me to learn American (particularly NJ Microculture) for my happily ever after 😀. Thank you for...giving me a...peak at your homework, I guess!
Warm regards from Scotland. Lang may yer lum reek, lass! (Your homework, should you choose to accept it, is to google that! )

@@GirlGoneLondonofficial
Aye, I did worse on those British question papers than you did.
That was a high point... "I did worse than Girl Gone London "
I've had to live with the shame
Long ago when I was a lad(60s), the slogan used to be, ‘a glass and a half in every half pound’ (of dairy milk chocolate) - A wine glass, a pint glass? I don’t think Cadbury’s said, but the image on the wrapper gave the impression of it being the latter. I understand the ‘glass and a half’ slogan was banned by the EU in 2010, but seem to remember the added ‘in every half pound’ was stopped sometime earlier. In the 60s an ad. campaign was the award of the ‘cdm’ (Cadbury’s dairy milk) which was quite a rage at the time. Everyone who was around in the 70s will surely remember the series of ads featuring Frank Muir singing(!) ‘everyone’s a fruit and nut case’! and who doesn’t remember the gorilla playing the drums to Phil Collin’s ‘in the air tonight’? - memorable advertisements!🙂
If you are looking at Cadbury's Ads, how about the strapline.
'Only the crumbliest, flakiest chocolate tastes like chocolate never tasted before'
The ad just shows a young lady, unwrap and eat a Flake.
@@stephenlee5929 Often in an overflowing bath!
@@woodentie8815 Yes.
I think there was one where she was riding bareback on a horse through a pond at the base of a water fall.
@@stephenlee5929 Yes I remember. How could she let all those bits of chocolate fall on the ground? What a waste.
Crunchie wasn't invented by Cadbury. It was a product of Fry's. You have also omitted any mention of what was actually their main rival, Rowntree, which began in the chocolate business 1869, although the roots of the business go back earlier than that.
Cadbury's chocolate was better before Kraft bought it.
I like Cadbury here in the U.S. too. I recently bought some Cadbury chocolate eggs.
7:02 Fry was another Quaker.
May you can also do Walker, Golden Wonder and Smiths Crisps?
Cadbury was the best as a kid in the 80s.
Galaxy was the posh chocolate.
These days, Cadbury tastes terrible and Galaxy melts too quick.
Milka Oreo - That's where it's at. 😁
I hear you say 'cad berry'. We say ' cad bree'.
My favourite was the Fuse bar which they sadly stopped making around 20 years ago, but a Double Decker is my current go to, great video thanks
Fun fact : the Fuse bar was invented at Cadbury's Somerdale factory ( that was the old Fry's factory) in Keynsham, Bristol. It was a mash up of left overs from other bars , Picnic and Crunchie.
It was bloody brilliant, and sadly missed.
Thanks. That ticked all the boxes. That Dutch 'cocoa press' looks like a clothes mangle to me (for squeezing water out of laundry). Maybe it could be used for both tasks! The takeover of Cadbury was a sad day - the slippery slope started with that name change. I think that some of the products taste different from pre-takeover but I still force myself to eat the Dairy Milk.
That was more interesting than i expected. I only hope that the American owners dont mess with the recipe to much and do an Hershys on it.
they will
On the subject of Ville being French, Waterlooville is a town in the Borough of Havant in Hampshire, England, it has a pub named Heroes of Waterloo because, on its opening day in 1815, soldiers who had just disembarked at Portsmouth, returning from the Battle of Waterloo in Belgium decided to stop there and celebrate their victory. French is one of the official languages of Belgium.
What is the meaning of ville?
Ville - Wikipedia
town
Ville is a French word meaning "city" or "town", but its meaning in the Middle Ages was "farm" (from Gallo-Romance VILLA < Latin villa rustica) and then "village". The derivative suffix -ville is commonly used in names of cities, towns and villages, particularly throughout France, Canada and the United States. Hooverville, an area where homeless people generally lived during the Great Depression.
Wikipedia.
Been to Bournville and the Cadbury Factory twice with kids, first time we sat by the cricket pitch and ate chocolate, wot else ? 😂... and please say Cadbry. My fave colour is purple so suits me.
I adore Creme Eggs. When I worked at WHS one year, a lot of them went out of date at once. I must have eaten 20 a day for a whole month, and I would happily have eaten more if I hadn't run out.
But my current favourite might be the bar that combines milk, dark and white chocolate in layers.
Oh dear, 20 creme eggs in one day - trust you kept a bucket handy?
Cadburys are owned by Kraft the US company - all the chocolates are smaller and taste terrible as they wanted to use milk powder rather than fresh milk etc.
Of products currently available, my favourite is Bournville Old Jamaica, though when in Australia visiting my daughter and grandsons, I love Old Gold Cherry Ripe even better. When I was a schoolboy, a special treat was a Milk Tray Block. This was discontinued back in the 80s.
I remember the milk tray block, each ‘square’ shaped like a different chocolate. I’m old enough to remember five boys, Tiffins, Fry’s 5 centres chocolate bars.
Which country/ies still have Old Jamaica on sale? Haven't seen it in a UK shop for decades. It was my favourite too, while I could get it
While I'm a devotee of straightforward CDM with nothing in - and the thinner the better - my favourite/favorite is actually not even available in the UK - can you believe??? It's CDM with ROAST ALMONDS in, and I've only seen in in the Ukraine and the Philippines (it may be available in other countries but those are the only two I've been to that had it). If you ever come across it, you simply must try it!
Here in the US, the first thing that used to come to mind when I heard "Cadbury" was the Cadbury Bunny, clucking at easter. Cadbury was basically only eaten at Easter. Definitely not as good as Cadbury in the UK. We brought back quite a bit from our last trip to London. We get Cadbury in Canada, too, but even that seems different.
hi Kalyn i wondered if you could do a deep dive into the rationing system during and after the 2nd world war ty

Creme egg was destroyed when Kraft took over the company and stopped using Cadbury Dairy Milk for the shell. They said I'd didn't matter to use a standard cocoa mix; but it mattered to many British Creme Egg lovers. I won't buy them now.
When I was a kid, up to 60 years ago, my parents owned a general stores so that Cadbury's chocolate always featured, prior to that my weekly treat was to get a chocolate bar of some sort, including Cadbury's, on a Saturday morning when my mother went to get her hair done and to keep me quiet. Over the years I have noticed a decline in Cadbury's quality and also the size of their bars that deflected me towards other, usually continental confectionary i.e. Swiss or Belgian. Today, I would never consider having a bar of any Cadbury's chocolate and I understand that quality has taken a further nosedive since Kraft Foods took them over
There was a rumour/myth that one car manufacturer found that certain car parts disappearing at the time of the Cadbury's Smash adverts to make the 'robots'.
Also interestingly, to me at least, is the jingle that went with it. Cliff Adams who was a jingle writer went into the meeting with the advertising executives and when asked to suggest a tune he said, 'Do you mean something like this?' 'Wonderful!' they said, 'No, no!' replied Adams 'that's just an example.' 'We want that.' came the reply and that's what was used. Obviously, I'm rather summarising it but that's kinda what happened.
Indeed yes, RE the second biggest confectionery company in the world.
Americans think Hershey's is big. Nobody could be bigger, right?
Cadbury DWARFS Hershey's, internationally. It's not even close.
I must admit your pronunciation of Cadberry was REALLY getting on my err nerves but I hung in there and watched to the end. My father worked at Bournville for over 40 years - starting at the age of 14 through to retirement at 62 with a few years break to be away at war. I myself worked for the company for a while and they were a truly wonderful company to be employed by. Not so much today I hear !. The village of Bournville is a special place even today and a visit is worthwhile along with a day at Cadbury World.
That's how I feel seeing Americans misspell Favourite when talking about England
I used to love Cadbury dairy milk but sadly since Kraft introduced it's recipe changes it's just not to my taste anymore.
Thanks Kaylin! Wisper is currently my go to Cadbury bar 😋. I totally forgot Smash mash was by them! I'm surprised you didn't go for the brother's Mars US vs UK family fude story and how the US Milky Way inspired the UK Mars Bar (or the other way around 🤔?). I can't remember you doing a video on this so apologies if you have.
Do you remember 'Cadbury Stackers'. They came before Pringles and were much better.
@@captaintorch983 no I do not. Never knew 👍
Hiya. Now you need to take a deep dive into the greatest of British tinned soup manufacturers - Baxters of Scotland. Stay safe. All the best to you.
Love their Cullen Skink. It's a long long time since I've been on a tour round their factory in Fochabers.
@@bermudagirl50 - For me, No. 1 is the Scotch Broth. A bit obvious, I know, but it just says Scotland.
Might that be a bit partisan? What about Heinz and Campbells soups? Campbells soup is ideal to add as a sauce in concentrated form to other dishes. Like most products Heinz soups have taken a nosedive in quality over the years.
@@clivewilliams3661 - Thanks for the question, but Campbells and Heinz aren't British. All the best to you.
@@Andy_U Whilst I agree that both Heinz and Campbells are not British, they were commonly the only available canned soups available at one time and were thought of as native brands, the likes of Baxters at that same time was very parochial. Cadburys, the subject of this video is also not British.
Sadly, it’s not “pure” anymore. Cheap and unethical palm fat used to reduce costs rather than 100% cocoa butter and solids. Same with Mars and Galaxy chocolate.
You missed out that the Quakers promoted alternative drinks and foodstuffs to get people away from drinking alcohol. I can't eat Cadbury products because of an intolerance to milk, therefore my favourite chocolate is Green and Black's hazelnut and raisin. You could look at other 'model' towns built by Quakers such as Port Sunlight (Lever brothers) and Saltaire (Titus Salt).
I used to have a real addiction to Wispa's..back when they were 25p a bar.
You all should know by now that this is not going to be like the other channels! This is going to be stuff you didn't know you needed to know.
Cadbury hose purple because it was queen Victoria's favourite colour 💜.
There used to be another big chocolate company called Roundtrees that made Lion bar, milkybar, caramac, rollos but they got bought out by Nesle I think in the 90's or 2000's but these chockolate bars still exist under Nesle at least in the UK
You mean Rowntree! and Nestlé
There was also Fry's chocolate that I would say was better than Cadbury's as the mainstream brands. Fry's used to make Turkish Delight and Fry's Chocolate Spread that was supposedly for cake toppings but was scrumptious on bread as a sandwich. I remember that as a kid being able to tell the different milk chocolates apart by their taste.
@@captaintorch983 yes
Oreo dairy milk is my favourites. I did watch a programme on Cadbury last night
Maybe an idea for a ‘dive’ would be US tv series that were a hit in the UK? Dallas, Highway Patrol, Beverley Hillbilles & etc., etc. come to mind?
Green Acres remains my favourite, together with Sgt Bilko.
Another point to note is that the founders of j. S. Fry & Sons en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._S._Fry_%26_Sons were also Quakers. Elisabeth Fry en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Fry the 19th Century prison reformer was married to Joseph Fry who was cousin of the Bristol Fry family.
I'm watching this on the morning of Sunday 17 March last night there was a documentary about Cadbury on TV gave lots of history the Cream Egg was invented in 1932
I love anything Cadburys except cream eggs.
Whatever happened to Macintoshes used to make rolloes and also a mini egg filled with soft caramel.
They became Rowntree Macintosh, and were taken over by Nestle.
Rowntree Mackintosh was bought by Nestle in 1987
Rowntree Macintosh was acquired by Nestle in 1988. Rowntree's (York) & Mackintosh's (Norwich) factories were closed. Some products survive with Nestle branding (e.g. KitKat), but most were discontinued.
At least they didn't bugger it up like the Americans did to Cadbury!
A brilliant summary of British chocolate and its history Kalyn. So interesting, that I can forgive your frequent lapses into "Cad-berry". We Brummies ( citizens of Birmingham ) are proud of this contribution to British history. Thanks for posting! x
Since the American company Kraft bought one of the best chocolate in the world it’s gone down hill never buy it now 😢
Deep dive IRN BRU please!
There is no doubt in my mind the taste of Cadbury has changed since Kraft took over - and not for the better.😢😢😢😢
My favourites are
Wispas and twirls.
Cadbury quite recently tried to copyright the purple colour for which they are famous - but failed.
I think your pronunciation is correct. It's how Cadbury pronounce it anyway.
There was a scandal recently because their Flake's were falling to bits before they got to the ice cream sellers for their 99s. The ice cream sellers were losing lots of money because of it. Flake's are made in Egypt now. Nobody knows why 99s are called 99s btw.
I doubt if their Flake and Turkish Delight ads would be allowed these days.
I am not a fan of their chocolate bars. I much prefer Galaxy. They're a lot smoother.
Other brands? There's Mr. Kipling who make exceedingly large profits. (Goodies pun).
Soft ice cream which was introduced in the late 50s.There are two big rival firms. Mr. Whippy and Mister Softee. Personally, I wish this American style ice cream hadn't caught on. I prefer the old fashioned hard ice cream.
A Xmas tradition was to buy a tin of Quality Street. That tradition has ended at my place because they're rubbish now.
I think 99 was an Italian tradition
@@falaise6077 The TV show Balderdash and Piffle looked into it and they couldn't find the origin. Even Cadbury don't know.
@@Poliss95 I remember an article in The Guardian debating this. In Italy 99 once represented an elite royal guard, so is often used, not just for ice cream, to add value to products
Good video GGL! Smash is one of those things that's advert is better than the actual product! Everyone went out to buy it after the brilliant ads but discovered Smash is disgusting!!
as as i realy like your posts love i am sorry to say that the one about cadburys is wrong when cadbury schweps became american woned they chainged the resipies in chocolat every where but in the uk shweps stoped useing natural ginger and started useing artificial flavours a friend of mine who grew ginger lost his contract because the american co said it was cheeper for them to use synthetic flavours
My favourite is fruit and nut and Cadbury's caramel
Poll - chocolate at room temperature or from the fridge? I’m firmly the latter.
Kad'bu'ri - source native Brit
I think your pronunciation is fine. If you are from Birmingham then it it sounds like Cadbreeze as we still include the s at the end. Think of the exaggerated Brummie accent (a la Peaky Blinders).
Not in my part of Birmingham! It is Cadbree here!
I like wispa, not the Chinese ones though.
What do Chinese Whispers mean?
noun. Britannica Dictionary definition of CHINESE WHISPERS: a situation in which a piece of information is passed from one person to the next and is changed slightly each time it is told.
Boost.... double decker...and of course dairy milk.
You say Cad-Berry, Brits say Cad-Bury, if that helps!
The town of Bury in greater Manchester is pronounced 'Burry' by the inhabitants of the town but is often pronounced 'Berry' by outsiders like me (though I only live about 6 miles away). Similar, depending how the mood takes me, I pronounce the chocolate, Cadbries', 'Cadberries' or 'Cadburries'!
i absolutly love your posts love but i am sorry to say that after cadbery shweps was taken over by an american company the quality of chocolate here in australia has gohn down hill as they have gohn on to the us resipy instead of the original british one shweps dry ginger ail only use synthetic flavouring and the chocolate is too sweet
@user-ec7um1lq5d cadburys ginger was a limited edition..
When America bought this company the chocolate changed..I remember when buying a bar posting on FB why this tasted like candle wax almost American, all American chocolate tastes like sweet candle wax I lived there, and then heard about the stupid buy over.. I'm really a 80% chocolate guy...None of this milk rubbish but occasionally I do it and then regret..It's like sleeping with someone drunk and then waking up and having a panic attack..Chocolate is very personnel and America really has no clue..Your neighbours do aka Mexico..There a a few others.. You will of course ignore this but the words above are well true 🙂
The texture went completely and it stopped tasting like chocolate, so I just don't buy it anymore 😢
The main reason Cadbury promoted cocoa was as an alternative to alcohol, because he saw the problems that alcohol was causing.
Cadbury's chocolate is horrible since they changed the recipe when they were taken over by the Americans.
Mmmm I like Cadbury chocolate....Galaxy has the edge though
It is interesting to realise that, for all their pacifist Quaker beliefs, Major Egbert Cadbury was an accomplished RFC pilot in the Great War, actually shooting down the Zeppelin L70 captained by Peter Strasser, commander of the German Zeppelin fleet, off Great Yarmouth. There is a memoir by his WAAC driver who liked driving him because he kept her supplied with free chocolate!
No it is not Cad berry!! It is Cadbree!!.
The factory is at Bourneville in Birmingem,
Thinking about it - from Manchester - I think I use both pronunciations, though Cadberries rather than berry.
dairy milk plain and simple like me lol
Cadbury stuff is pretty low rent. Far too sweet and mostly marketed at children. I can kind of understand north americans getting excited by it due to their awful local products, but I'd not go to a Cadbury product unless I was in a hypoglycaemic episode.
We have good chocolate in the US. It just doesn't get the attention Hershey's does. I'm not a fan of Hersheys' either, BTW. Esther Price and Ghirardelli are American products and very good, both better than Cadburys. We have a few others as well.
Cadbury now use cheap and unethical ingredients, eg palm fat, in their chocolate.
@@cookielady7662 Ghirardelli chocolate is good, but did you know that it is owned by Lindt (Swiss chocolate company)?
I will always prefer Cadbury's chocolate, the stuff made by Cadbury is how I imagine a Chinese knockoff might taste..
you do know that the stuff made by Cadbury is the same as that made by Cadbury's ??? ** Cadburys dairy milk ** is the quality stuff, but always check the ingredients on the pack, to check!! :)
Recently there's been a rush of American reactors talking about chocolate. Every American, including Girl Gone, mispronounces Cadbury as Cadberry.
This comment is off on a tangent. Many years ago we had a BBC1 programme called "Tomorrow's World". I recall a feature concerning direct to tin printing. This would mean the end of the added paper label. This did not come about. (We already had Lyle's Golden Syrup and their Black Treacle as well as the Fray Bentos tinned pies.)
I think this would be a good subject for you to make a video on.
I am HORRIFIED to learn that the Lyle's lion has been done away with!!!

Theyre owned by an American mulitnational
You misspelt "favourite"
In UK English, 'favourite' (with a 'u') is standard. In US English, 'favorite' (no 'u') is the correct spelling
Dedication to employee welfare now is.... ahemmm 😮
I cut added sugar out of my diet this year so I was interested to see if I would get triggered by any of these sickly treats. I did not know that the product was originally marketed for health benefits - as if there are any!
The dark chocolate Bournville wrapper triggered me for a moment but then I remembered the product of today is some vegelate made by Kraft without the iconic red paper wrapper and gold foil. So it is totally of no use to me.
Since it is only fake Cadbury on sale now, my decision to go sugar free is reinforced.
Use your favourite search engine to read up on metabolic dysfunction due to added sugar. Practically every chronic disease and every mental health issue comes down to sugar. Chocolate is not your friend. It might give a moment of pleasure but it does not deliver happiness.
I have been targeted by similar bots on many you tube channels (and I always report them to you tube). I don't know why but they always try to get me to join Telegram (which, fortunately, makes them easy to spot).
It is not as good as it used to be. Still better than American 🤮, and yes there are videos elsewhere that explain that American chocolate contains the same 🤢 chemicals as 🤮 and that chemical is used as a preservative.
The best chocolate though comes from Belgium.
I get sick of people saying Belgium chocolate is best. I do not agree.
I do not particularly like it. Even though Cadbury is not QUITE as good as it used to be, it is still the tastiest as far as I am concerned and I an oldie. I was a wartime baby.
@@valeriedavidson2785 Yeah, the Belgian chocolate I’ve tasted has always been a disappointment. Give me Cadbury’s (of old?) anytime!
I do know it’s not a GLASS AND A HALF OF FULL CREAM MILK anymore but a glass and half of white water not nice 🤢
You're right, it's not Cad-BERRY, it's Cad-BRIE. It's kind of the same way that Americans say MED-ISS-IN and English people say MED-SIN. I say English because I'm not exactly sure how Scottish, Welsh or Irish people generally pronounce the word "Medicine" or "Cadbury."
@roberttrott5259 English people do not say Med-sin. There's no such word. English people who know how to pronounce words properly say med-iss-in. It's not Cad-brie either.
