Cadbury drops palm oil from chocolate!

[vindy500]

there dropping palm oil, but are they gonna keep making it in australia?

[Naki Rat]

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

Unless of course the messenger has been a lying tosser...
Referring to Cadbury's marketers, not you dude

I didn't know anything about the palm oil at first. Bought a block of Cadbury's in their new packaging for a laugh and it tasted fucking disgusting. It was all powdery and tasteless, made me feel nauseous. I'm staying with Whittakers. Better priced even compared to the cadbury when both are on special ($3.60 vs. 2 for $6).

I still say Rush Munro's ice cream is best.

Oh hang on, this is a chockie thread.....

I'd say yep, so I'd sooner buy chocolate made in Porirua.

... and its a local brew for you huh! You don't need to worry about Dunedin.

Don't know about local - has always said 'local & imported ingredients' on packet.

merv, I always worry about some greedy, bloody money making corporation puting profit before people (families).
We have Pacific Brands, here, shafting everyone like Cadbury keeps doing, but nothing like what Dunedin is going through with industry job loss.

...the ingredients still say 'veg oil & cocoa butter', so will be interesting as to when it's going to change. As for making it here still, who knows, they'll probably drop jobs here, too. They have before.

I guess decent chocolate like whittakers & Thortons is lost on me, I only eat choc for the sugar fix.

I was begining to think palm oil was a euphamisim until this came out in the paper! Sort of thinking who'd want to eat chocolate with THAT in it???? But I have a one track mind, usually dirt track.
