    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)

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!

    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.

    I remember loving the Smash adverts, and being totally blown away by the gorilla ad when I first saw it.

    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. 😁

    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!🙂

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
