From Wikipedia:


  • Canada:- Cadbury Adams is the company's Canadian subsidiary, based in Toronto. Most brands and products match those in the UK; the chocolate bar line was rebranded in late 2005 to the UK-standard purple wrapper theme.

    I think the purple colour came about when they got into shop facias. They kitted out shop fronts with the owner's name in the CDM insignia and the colour was a kind of blue/purple.


    In the 1960s I am sure the colour was more dark blue than purple. It's hard to tell now - it's a cross-over colour I think.

    Old but spicey!
