CDM with soft, creamy advocat filling.
CDM with runny cherry brandy filling and cherries.
CDM with Baileys truffle filling sounds great too
CDM with Creme de Menthe cream or runny filling??

Post your CV to Cadbury. That's just the sort of brand "diversification" that they are looking for. You'll go far.

Yes......but what old time chocolate bar have Cadbury reintroduced (and wasted, true)?
They have many varieties of chocolate bars and were not afraid to experiment with them rather than merely stick in another filling (though granted, they did this too quite a lot).
I would rather have Nestle than Cadbury though if their product range was to change it could quite easily swing back to Cadbury as Nestle chocolate in most of their Uk bars is poor.

What exactly is wrong with Cadbury's product range? Serious question, I'm not being sarcastic. Okay, so you don't like the 'CDM with' banner - it's just a money making strategy. Would it really be any different if they called the products by different names?
Post by: on April 01, 2006, 06:58:00 pm
Names, no.
I miss the diversity of the bars in terms of shape and texture. That to me is part of the enjoyment of chocolate products.
Some bars come in blocks, some are oval-creme eggs, some are triangular-Toblerone, some are counters-Minstrels, Smarties and some are bars like Mars, Wispa et al.
They do say the world would be a boring place if we were all the same (though there would probably no wars). I think Cadbury have went too far in the strategy in their aim to have the best selling bar.

I go for taste and texture. I used to love Aero because it tasted creamy abd bubbly and the texture was unique. Now it's sweet, sickly gloop. I used to love Toffee Crisp. It was chewy and gluey and tasty with lovely chocolate. Now it is rubbish. I used to love Lion Bars. Now they are awful. Yorkie bars are blocks of sweet cooking chocolate. No amount of KitKat varieties will make up for what we have lost.
CDM is capitalising on a popular brand but it is not destroying the original flavour and texture in the persuit of exposure and more profit.

I have recently become an epicure of fine chocolate. The main problem with CDM et al is the vegetable oil and low quantity of cocoa solids. If it's sold as chocolate it should BE chocolate.
This revelation has been a long time coming to you Bounty. It has been this way for the last 20 years.
Why do you think Euroland calls our chocolate "Family Milk Chocolate"?

I tried these the other night and they are gorgeous. They don't taste of wine a such, it more of a creamy taste. Really nice though and they are pink
In Japan, we can buy a lot of fravor of Kit Kat. and now, my favorite fravor is FRUIT PARFAIT. Soooooooooooo delicious!!
You can buy these from this web site.

Can I assume it's the wrapper that's pink, not the bar itself?

So why did they get rid of Wispa? And let an inferior chocolate bar such as Aero be the best selling (and only) bar with bubbles in.

I didn't say it was the same thing, just that they both had bubbles!
They do but it's not the same thing is it?
If they brought out Wispa again I'm sure that Aero sales would go down.
Post by: smurfboy on June 01, 2006, 09:22:57 pm
Probably.
I miss Wispa Mint and Gold more than I miss original Wispa.

Japan is obviosuly the KitKat Kapital of the world.
Mmm...maybe. I think Japanese like to produce lots of fravor for one product. Not only Kit Kat company, other Japanese companies usually make new fravor in each season, too.
Do your countries have similar system!??

Are we/ Look at the bars people want to bring back and you will perhaps note it's the chocolate companies who are boring.
