    I had some Cadbury last night. Didn't notice the difference (apart from size). In saying that I don't have it all the time. Looked at the ingredients and it didn't say anything about palm oil. Only cocoa butter. Did it actually state it on the back?

    ps. must do a comparison with Whittakers...just to test...man it's gonna suck
    Highly likely you were lucky enough to have some of the old stock - it is still around by the sound of it. It should have 'vegetable oil' as well as cocoa butter if it's the new stuff - but it doesn't have to specify palm oil.

    I didn't like the taste, the fact it HAD vege oil in it to start with, that people in NZ lost their jobs, that the blocks were smaller, etc - not to mention Cadbury's arrogance over the changes.
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

    The cadbury representative quite happily proved, on tonight's news, the bizarre / perverted that cadbury lives in.

    Fuck off to ozzie you bunch of faggots.

    Even the old Cadbury's is not very good chocolate. The cocoa content is too low and there is too much sugar. Whittaker's is definitely better, and Nestles as well. But once you get hooked on European chocolate you won't like most of the stuff sold here. Even average Swiss, French and Belgian chocolate is vastly superior. Cadbury's is to European chocolate what Marque Vue is to champagne. We need to educate our palates...

    Hey MikeL where were you between February and August, on a secret mission for the Gubmint or something.

    Yeah you're right about the chocolate, if its foreign Aussie stuff why buy it, you may as well buy European. As I and others said earlier it used to be Cadburys was cool because it was nice creamy NZ choclate.

    I heard from an old Cadbury Rep, that the reason the bar's changed in size was because the cost of Cocoa had gone up dramatically, so they tried to keep the price the same, but decreased the quantity


    ............don't shoot the messenger
