I brought a Old Gold Peppermint - small bar today - yucky. They have reduced the square size so the peppermint had no impact - I can't even describe the taste of the chocolate - still sitting in my drawer at work now that would be a 1st! I think everyone should email in complaints! ]]> Mon, 06 Jul 2009 18:45:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27234&PID=717061&title=is-cadbury-even-chocolate-anymore#717061 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27234&PID=715977&title=is-cadbury-even-chocolate-anymore#715977 Author: Candkids

The Australian Cadbury is much sweeter and yucker, i always thought it was more to do with using different milk or something to make it not melt as quick.

Green and Blacks is owned by Cadbury now so depends if your protest is taste or environmental or moral lol

The palm oil production process is extremely detrimental to the environment too, wipes out rainforests and makes orangutan's homeless. I know its in heaps of stuff we probably use every day and dont think about but I'm sure Cadbury would be a massive user of the product so boycotting them would be a start.. maybe... makes me feel better anyhow!

Whittakers do a Sante bar that is the size of your finger , maybe that's a good option for little people?? Or at least we can order them in the UK from the NZ shop so I assume you can get them too.]]> Tue, 30 Jun 2009 23:12:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27234&PID=713368&title=is-cadbury-even-chocolate-anymore#713368 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27234&PID=713340&title=is-cadbury-even-chocolate-anymore#713340 Author: Bizzy

The should call the "centre of excellence" the "centre of profit" because that is all this is about ... making more profit. I'm definitely going to check out the cocoa content and vege fat content for Roses etc now even tho I probably won't buy Cadbury ever again - I bet they've changed it across the board.
The food standard says that minus that extra 1% (21%) and they would legally have to call it 'chocolate flavoured' vege fat (that just turned my stomach).

Good point Bobbie. The new packaging does basically try to make it look like its the same size as the old one. Like we're fools or something and didn't notice the 50gram change. That just makes me so angry!

nzpiper - I was thinking of 'dark chocolate' but Stacey doesn't like it at all. It might have to be Whittakers. I hope they end up doing little bars for little fingers!

I really dig the new packaging.
The taste is still yummy to me, but I don't like that instead of 8 squares in a row there's now 4 bigger ones. It makes me think I'm eating less (which I probably am) so I eat more

We usually buy Whittakers if we buy chocolate, so I think we'll steer clear of Cadbury from now.
Such a shame, really. I did love their chocolate.

Eww that's so gross about the Cadbury's makeup. How silly.

Cadbury's tried to say in the paper that they had dropped their price of their bar when they dropped the weight so it was the supermarkets' fault for not passing the saving on to the consumer. What they failed to point out though is that because the packaging makes the bar the same size it takes up the same amount of space on the shelves so the supermarkets have to charge the same or lose out. They're so cheeky!!]]> Tue, 30 Jun 2009 11:12:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27234&PID=712786&title=is-cadbury-even-chocolate-anymore#712786 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27234&PID=712742&title=is-cadbury-even-chocolate-anymore#712742 Author: AandCsmum

Tui - I think (from what I have heard from some employees) they are now making the chocolate in Aussie, then it gets sent to the different factories to be made into the different products (ie- Dunedin makes assortments - filled choccies like roses etc). It is part of the "Centres of Excellence" initiative. So each factory is responsible for certain products.

I also wonder why a company with a good product would change. Did you also notice that along with the recipe change and change of packet there has been a change of weight in the bars?? No change in price though - naughty cadburies indeed!!!!!]]> Mon, 29 Jun 2009 22:19:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27234&PID=712608&title=is-cadbury-even-chocolate-anymore#712608 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27234&PID=712543&title=is-cadbury-even-chocolate-anymore#712543 Author: Tui89

It's actually harder and waxy... and super super sweet. not like it used to be at all. You put it in your mouth and it doesn't melt.

I googled and it said something about Palm Oil vege fat filler and its not even really chocolate anymore. Its chocolate flavoured confectionery.

I think its best that my son doesn't eat that. It sounds disgusting and doesn't taste good anymore at all.
