Cadbury at it again - that's Easter gone for them

Seen it on Campbell Live tonight, the Creme Eggs are now coming from Pomgolia and no longer made in NZ. The call is for a boycott of Cadbury products. The adults interviewed don't like the new taste, the kids didn't care because they eat anything sweet.

Go Whittakers!! All the way from Porirua

Did they make Creme Eggs in NZ previously?

But yeah, go Whittakers!!

Indeed.
Having visited the Cadbury factory for a few days in the late '90s (installing software, doing training), I think it's very sad that the factory's been downsized and production shifted offshore.

I'll chime in here on my .02:

We'd get Cadbury cream eggs in the States for Easter. I liked 'em yeah but never really went out of my way to get them.

I was never aware of Whittaker's until one day a Kiwi friend here in Taiwan frantically called me and told me to rush to my nearest 7-11 convenience store and buy a peanut slab.

I did so and found that with a few exceptions, Whittaker's is the best peanut chocolate bar I've ever, and I mean, ever, had.

Now, what you must realize about Taiwan for this story to make sense is that anything that's actually good and sells well, is done for. As in, Whittaker's was sold here for a couple of months, every foreigner I know would buy many of them at a time from the store, but now there is nary a one to be found anywhere.

I'm actually drooling thinking and wishing we could get them again here in Taiwan, until then this will have to do.

P.S. Don't suppose any of you lovely folks would airmail a couple my way eh? Worth a shot...

Oh and here's a good read about Whittaker's and Taiwan. http://www.nzte.govt.nz/press-room/N...en-stores.aspx

Old eggs knew eggs, they will always be kinda sickly to eat, dosen't really matter to much who makes them right?

Unless you are a Lover of the Creme egg? then sucks to be you.

You know that Cadbury was sold to Kraft and the same thing is happening all over the world - lots of their chocks for the European market are made in Polish factories.
