Now if any of you read the paper you may have come across the story of Auckland zoo banning all Cadbury products because they have now started to add Palm oil to their products.
Now the problem with this is that you pretty much have to knock over rain forests in order to grow the stuff, which means poor old orang-utans are getting kicked off their land without any compensation.

Now some of you people may think "Hippy shit", "tree hugging green peace surporters" but also look from a taste and money point of view. I really think the taste of Cadbury chocolate has gone down hill for a while now and they also reduced the weight by 20% but without lowering the price so you're basicly paying more for Cadbury's cost cutting.

On the other hand Whittakers use 100% coco butter and to me their products taste better, plus they haven't gone and changed the packaging size while keeping the same retail.

I laugh at cadbury. Expensive, poor quality AND taste's worse. This has been going on for a considerable time too.

Go Whittakers!!!!!!

Funny how a zoo tries to take the high ground when they basically imprison wild animals in an unatural habitat for the rest of their miserable lives.

So in answer to your question and only because this bs has been brought to my attention... Cadbury.

Me and the missus eat huge amounts of Cadburys. Have done for years. The taste and packaging has recently changed for the worse.

The French call Cadburys 'Vegolate' and not chocolate. I have never tried Whitakers, but I really think I aught to.

Neither... I use sex as a substitute for chocolate. Shame on Cadbury! I read about the use of Palm Oil in a dozen NZ products a few weeks ago and have been boycotting them since. They reckon the use of Palm Oil is costing the lives of 50 Orangutans a week!!!:nono:

Thing is how do you tell a product has Palm oil when its listed as "Vegitable oil"? I mean how many types of vegitable oil is there?

Jesus wept. The issue isn't palm oil or Cadbury. It's the governments of the countries that allow natural ecosystems to be laid waste to further subsistence agriculture or opportunistic harvesting of hardwoods. A bit like New Zealand did in the 19th century...

Has anybody here bought furniture recently from Early Settler or other similar Malaysian firewood recycling business?

Edit - As a side note, why do people all of a sudden care about the plight of orangutans ? They've been been getting treated like Aborigines and Inuits and native americans for ages, now you care cause your chocolate tastes different..

Forest
12th July 2009, 21:30
I prefer the taste of Whittakers.

But I think the Auckland Zoo management is retarded. People aren't farming Palm Oil because they want to harm orangutans, they're farming Palm Oil because they live in tropical shit holes where there's very few ways to scratch out a living.

Being a female of our species chocolate is one of the 3 food groups, chocolate, wine and chocolate so vital to life. Funnily enough I noticed the new packaging today and that it seemed lighter than normal, those sneaky bastads at Cadders have tried to pull the wrappers over our eyes by changing the pack & size and charge the same. I'm with the rangatangs lets boycott Cadders and stick with the Whittakers - tastes better, nicer packaging that looks like old style real chocolate.

There was a time when NZ made Cadburys was better than Whittakers but only because of QC problems with Whittakers. I remeber playing hunt the peanut as a kid, one end of the slab was peanut free with all the nuts piled up down the other!

Now Whitakers have sorted their act and Cadbury are trying to screw over their public.

Whitakers FTW.

Definitely Whittakers now that Cadburys have begun to
a) use Palm oil.
b) not re-employing a relative of mine after making him re-apply for his job.
c) ripping the public off by making their bars smaller and still charging the same.

Whelp, I actually like the new Cadbury packets. However (but!) I've decided to buy Whittakers from now on, as I don't like the 'new improved' Cadbury taste. Plus Australian chocolate is marginally inferior to UnZud stuff, as their milk's not as good.

Had some nice Belgian chocolate in Brussels, but it was expensive when the exchage rate was taken into account.
As for Hitcher's preferred chocolate? Schoc is very expensive (yeah, I [I]know[I] it's a boutique NZ company) and I didn't rate it, although I only tried the chili one, which I'm not big on. Lindt's OK, but also not cheap. Taste's a personal thing, I guess.
Also (plus) I'd rather support a Noo Zilund company so Whittakers FTW.

a) I bet you don't even know what Palm oil is.
It's an oil that is made from an unsustainable plant, i.e bad for the environment and long term economy.

b) If he/she was really good, I'm sure the outcome would of been different. Hmmmm, yes cos we all know that the good guys always win. NOT!

c) Back this with proof that the price to the supermarkets is in fact the same as the previous "fatty" sized bar. It's a fact, they used to be 250g and have been reduced to 200g, it was on Campbell Live last week and Cadburys didn't deny it when interviewed.

If I have my facts wrong I'm happy to be re-educated though.

Heres the reply i got from em a while back when i complained about

Thank you for taking the time to pass on your feedback regarding our
newly released packaging and moulded blocks. Because our Marketing
Department researches products before launching to ensure consumer
acceptance, we were disappointed to receive your comments. We have
however, logged your comments and forwarded them on to our Sales and
Marketing Personnel for their information.

We have invested in research to better understand consumer needs in
relation to flavour and format (pack-size) and have kept our range in-line
with key outcomes of our research. We have tailored our range to aim to
satisfy every need and consumption occasion that the research has told us
our consumers want.

The block squares have increased in size but decreased in thickness, Upon
opening the new-look pack, consumers will see a more contemporary design
‘pip’ or chocolate square size. Feedback from Consumer testing indicated
this shape provided a greater ‘mouth-feel’ enhancing the chocolate
delivery and is easier to break with fewer crumbs.

We have reduced the weight of our block chocolate range to provide more
convenient packaging sizes. We have also reduced the price we charge to
retailers to allow our blocks to be competitively priced within the highly
competitive chocolate market.

It is important to note that as a manufacturer, by law, Cadbury does not
set the retail price paid by consumers. This is done by the retailer where
you purchase the product.

In August last year we announced our $153NZ million investment to secure
the longer term future of our local manufacturing operations by
transforming our chocolate manufacturing sites across Australia and New
Zealand into specialist centres of excellence.

As part of the major investment, we are spending $51NZ million to upgrade
and transform the Dunedin factory into a centre of excellence for chocolate
assortments. When this work is complete in 2010, Dunedin will produce
Cadbury’s chocolate assortment range for the Australian and New Zealand
markets, with approximately 80% of the Dunedin product being exported to
Australia.

As a result of Dunedin being upgraded to produce the assortment products
that were made in Australia, the moulded blocks that were produced at
Dunedin are now made in Claremont in Tasmania. Dunedin will continue to
manufacture, Jaffas, Pebbles, Pineapple Lumps, Chocolate Fish, Buzz bars,
Pinky Bar, and Perky Nana.

For many years, our manufacturing sites in Australia and New Zealand have
made the highest quality great tasting Cadbury products for both countries.
A number of NZ favourite chocolate blocks including Black Forest, Cadbury
Desserts range, Caramello, Roast Almond and Old Gold have been made in
Australia for a few years now. New Zealand and Australian consumers love
and trust the products we make for them and we look forward to that
continuing.

We are doing whatever we can to ensure we continue to be a long-term
manufacturer and employer in New Zealand, and this investment is a big part
of securing our long-term future in New Zealand.

you have any further questions

I have not ever had Whitakers chocolate before and have always preferred Cadburys. My household consumes 5-10 bars of chocolate per week, so we can definitely be classed as Salad Dodgers.

Today I bought:
1 x Toblerone Fruit & Nut
1 x Whitakers Fruit & Nut
1 x Cadburys Fruit & Nut

OK - So now I have converted the household to Whitakers.

Go buy their shares!

Well, after sitting here and consuming 4 of them chunky fundraiser bars between the two of us I'm still firmly in Cadbury's camp.

Whittakers is horrible chocolate, and their advertising is soooo low its disgusting.
I used to buy Whittakers for the other half, but I am boycotting it now.
If they hadnt done the 'comparision' advert comparing them to Cadbury, I would have continued to buy their product, but I dislike that kind of advertising so that alone has put me off them.
He isnt allowed it in the house either LOL

I could care less about price so thats not a factor....
I'm a girl, when I NEED chocolate, I NEED CHOCOLATE and cost, location, time of day are not factors. I WILL have chocolate LOL

In actual fact I like the new Cadbury packaging too. I find the block boxes easier to deal with, they sit in the pantry better and with the smaller packs, I eat less at a time hahahaha = biggest bonus of all!!!!!

See.......Cadbury are contributing to helping New Zealanders lose our 3rd fattest nation in the world label by reducing our chocolate intake.
Whittakers however are compelling people to eat bigger blocks and get fatter.
Gross.

Cadbury FTW.

Wow, 'tis a brave man who comments on a woman and their chocolate eating habits........

I have more than enough self-control thank you very much, however when you are pregnant and a craving strikes, self-control has NOTHING to do with it.

I'm not sure what the riding of bikes has to do with chocolate either?

Hahaha - she bites.......and not just at Cadbury's

Facts, perhaps.... nevertheless if anyone else used that kind of advertising, whether big or small is regardless, I would stop buying from them too.




Wow, 'tis a brave man who comments on a woman and their chocolate eating habits........

I have more than enough self-control thank you very much, however when you are pregnant and a craving strikes, self-control has NOTHING to do with it.

I find it interesting that while this is a thread which is sheer opinion, that there are people out there who rather than just make their opinion known, feel the need to attempt to make others feel bad for their opinions because they differ to the posters.............

Whittakers are 2 for $5 at New World at the moment so you may as well go in and stock up.

Funny how a zoo tries to take the high ground when they basically imprison wild animals in an unatural habitat for the rest of their miserable lives.

So in answer to your question and only because this bs has been brought to my attention... Cadbury.

hahaha very true lol!
