Has anyone here ever been in a Cadbury factory shop? There's one near
me and I'm very tempted. Do they sell things not normally found in most
shops and do they sell things any cheaper?

See my other post

My friends husband works for cadbury, so she is always getting loads of bargain stuff from the shops ;)
-
Bugger how could I not see that thread
-
Thats ok....think it happens to us all!
-
Is there one in Brum? It would seem to make sense, but I've never heard of one
-
There's a factory shop at the Cadburys factory in Brum. It's fancier than the ones around the country as it has a lot more stuff!
-
I've decided a trip to Cadbury world is in order too.
-
So have I. It would make a trip to the Midlands to see my in-laws much more worthwhile.

I've decided a trip to Cadbury world is in order too.
I went there a few years ago and enjoyed it. It was August bank holiday but it poured with rain. There was plenty to do there and it was all indoors so no problem. At the time they still made Wispas and I bought a box of them, there must have been about 25 Wispas in the box. They didn't last long 
Also I bought a Cadbury world sticker for my car but when I got home and opened the packet there was no sticker inside.
Boo hoo.
All in all I enjoyed my visit to Brum, so much chocolate and curry in one place!
-
I am trying to arrange a trip there at some point. I would love to see what it's all about!
-
Perhaps we should all turn up there together and give them a shock - a Chocolate Review Jolly!
-
I like that idea and we should of course be given a discount!
-
Well of course - and loads of free samples for review purposes!
-
Oh of course! All the free advertising they have got from us! Its the least they can do!
-
Bargain, its a plan.
Also write in the letter you have some terminal disease to go for the sympathy vote.
-
Or failing that, tell them you work for Mars and will give away secrets in exchange for freebies
-
But what secrets would we make up?
They secretly put drugs into the chocolate tomake people like it?
They arent peanuts in a snickers, they are tiny genetically modified armadillos?
-
We don't need to actually make up any secrets, because when we get there, we will hold the Cadbury top brass hostage until they agree to re-introduce Fry's Five Centres and the other classic bars of our choice!
-
You see, to me fry's chocolate sucks. Seriously, I would prefer to get crabs than eat one of those frys cream bars.
-
Here here. I had a Frys cream bar a while ago and didnt eat the whole bar which is very unusual for me.
Frys Turkish delight is nice though.
-
I would chuff at the thought of a turkish delight anything aswell, it looks nice, especially the proper stuff, but its still chuffy.
-
-
I know, im strange, I can't help it.
-
At Cadbury World they have small cars in the shape of creme eggs which are painted just like the creme egg wrapper.
They have proper registration numbers so they must be seen driving around the streets of Brum sometimes.
I like the visit to Cadbury World plan, although you don't get as many free bars as you'd think.
-
We were all gonna go, but it fizzled out
-
Those cars arent really seen driving around birmingham, they are used by cadbury for promotional events, and also things like adverts.
-
Is the shop there any cheaper Cherry Ripe?
-
I can answer that ;) and yes it is, they do deals to flog off certain stuff and that is velly cheep indeedy
-

It is cheaper, choc chick, but you have to watch the bb dates.
You can also get things you don't see in the normal shops, such as mis-shapes. I got some mis-shapes, 3 kilo bags for the price of 2. They are fun. At the other outlet shop I went to, the mis-shapes are sold in smaller bags for £1.99 each which to me is dear, especially considering they aren't perfect and you don't know exactly what flavours are inside the bag.
-
Thanks Cherry Ripe. I make have to make the trip up one day.
They sell the mis shapes in the factory shop near me and I think they are about £2 for a bag. Like you said, they are a bit dear for what they are. They are making a profit out of them anyway!
-
They sell the mis shapes in the factory shop near me
Where are you, choccy chick? I'm from Cornwall, and I believe the nearest factory shop to me is at Street in Somerset, which is a good few hours drive away. Birmingham is hours and hours and hours and hours and hours..... Needless to say when I go to such a place, I really stock up!
-
I am in Kent Cherry Ripe. The factory shop that is near me is in Chatham Dock.
-
I really must go to Cadbury World - it is only a few stops on the train for me. I've been before but many years ago. Do you have to go on the tour to go to the shop, or can you just walk in off the street, so to speak?
-
You could just walk in last time I went.
-
I wonder if they get many homeless people?
-
'Spare 50p for a bag of squashed hazelnut whirls guv'nor...' doesn't have quite the same ring to it, does it?
-
They do a coach trip every now and again from my area. The next one is on at Easter but I already have plans for that week. The next time it is on after that I will go.
-
I want to go to cadbury's World, will some ones please take me?
-
bounty might take you if you ask him nicely.
-
Shall I go to Korea and pick you up frooty?
-
Pleese yes, I wil pack my things now yes. When to will you be come here?
Kwono yahloy man koh.
-

-
You will be waiting ages. Go and have cup of tea darling.
-
