Caramac have turned into sweet, sickly blocks of floor polish. Thank Nestle for that!

Yeah, thanks Nestle


And they don't even work very well as floor polish

I like caramacs, but thats no suprising for me seen as coffee creams are my most favourite. Must be the polish

Not an insult  But it's always the "more mature" people who complain about Caramac and Kitkat tasting different to how they used to.

Well it would be wouldn't it.  Nobody else would remember what they used to taste like.  But I do agree that people's tastebuds change as they 'mature'.

I am now very mature of course, but I still maintain that since Nestle got hold of various bars, none of them taste as nice. I am not comparing Caramac now with thirty years ago, I am proposing that in the last ten years, the taste and quality of Caramac, Lion bar, Yorkie and Toffee Crisp has changed.

I think KitKat would taste best if they used Dairy Milk chocolate, or at least something nicer than what they currently use.

Exactly, why can't they? Presumably they haven't lost the original recipe. My uncle is always saying he never buys Kitkats because the chocolate is "swiss rubbish".

Nestle Swiss chocolate? 
Title: caramac
Post by: oldspice on April 26, 2006, 07:49:46 am

Nestle is a Swiss company.


And I swear they used to pronounce their name NESSLES!

Title: caramac
Post by: Cherry_Ripe on April 26, 2006, 09:15:47 am

Lindt is swiss chocolate and that's not at all like Nestle.


And you're right Oldspice, it used to be pronounced nessles - as in the advert nessles milkybar!

Not all Swiss choc tastes the same.

Nessles was when we didn't have an understanding of how foreign languages differed in pronounciation?


I mean, is it Pershow, Peushow or Peugeot?

Title: caramac
Post by: smurfboy on April 26, 2006, 08:40:47 pm
Agreed.
Title: caramac
Post by: Cherry_Ripe on April 27, 2006, 09:12:59 am
And yet people still pronounce Braun as 'brawn' and not 'brown'
Title: caramac
Post by: kevvosa on April 27, 2006, 10:52:54 am
Brown would sound silly. 
Title: caramac
Post by: smurfboy on April 27, 2006, 02:23:29 pm

Have Braun actually used the correct pronounciation in their advertising as Nestle do? It doesn't always catch on anyway - remember when Hyundai was suddenly pronounced 'Hyun-day' instead of 'Hi-yun-die'? Now it's gone back to the original way!

Title: caramac
Post by: goldencup on April 27, 2006, 02:37:59 pm

It was also briefly 'Shun-day'.


By the way, the word is pronunciation.

Probably not.


I noticed that sports commentators and newsreaders try to pronounce names correctly these days whereas they didn't used to care.
