Rank stuff.

Rank stuff.

Tried to melt the chocolate and it turns to dough. Glass and a half of milk per bar.. haha, yeah right. Cup of dry milk powder and palm oil, more like. They mask the flavour with an overload of vanilla.. or should I say vanillin, that sort of smells like vanilla but isn't.. it's just cheap.

Wait until you try the white chocolate.. It's exacly the same as the real cheap calendar chocolate you got back in the 90's.. vile, discusting, horrid stuff.

Just buy other chocolate, this stuff is horrid now. Doesn't melt right, doesn't taste right, with a premium price tag. No thank you. Never again will I buy Cadburys.

I bought 3 bags of milk chocolate giant Cadbury buttons.
I have emailed Cadbury numerous times with a complaint of contamination of this product, they completely ignore you.
The taste of chemicals is very strong, I had a very bad stomach after eating a few of these.
They have ruined the iconic taste of Cadburys, and my family are boycotting Cadbury and also I have made stickers for my car and family and friends cars . DO NOT BUY CADBURYS CHOCOLATE.

Just like Nestle and Mars their products are rubbish. Who remembers when Chomps and Freddo’s cost 10p and were bigger and tastier? Boycott their muck and instead buy Ms Molly’s and supermarkets own, much better.

Milk Tray again I'm afraid!

Milk Tray again I'm afraid! I have never tasted such disgusting Cadbury 'chocolate' in my 60+ years of eating their products ... but do they care about all of your complaints ... obviously not!
I won't be eating Cadbury's Palm Oil again until they start listening to their customers and go back to making Chocolate with milk, 100% that is!

Chocolate Out not Time Out

What’s happened to the Time Out bars I bought two packets recently and the chocolate covering was so thin you could see through it that is when it hadn’t broken off as most did, I do not recommend this bar and I personally won’t buy any more of them.

I used to love Cadburys chocolate

I used to love Cadburys chocolate, but just had some Dairy Milk and it was disgusting. The Americans ruined the World Cup and now they’ve ruined a British institution. I’ll sadly never eat Cadburys again.

I used to love Cadburys

I used to love Cadburys, but now I cannot eat anything with your logo on it, as it tastes like wax, I recently tried Australian Cadburys and the difference is staggering. Please sell the company to a non American entity or at least a company that puts it's customers above shareholders, long gone are the days of the customer is always right, now it's keep the shareholders rich and forget the customers.
