    They wanna ruin AI like they ruined their Chocolate after they got bought out by that shite company Kraft?

    Cadburys tastes like crap now the same way American chocolate does, such a bloody shame too :-(

      I eat Tony’s now I find that nice, if a little expensive. They seem to be slavery free in their supply chain.

        Unfortunately they’re not 100% slavery-free as yet (it’s a big production chain, and there’s only so much one company can do) - however, they do have this Open Chain which makes the whole thing a bit more accountable. https://www.tonysopenchain.com/

          I mean Kudos for owning up that they in part rely on child labour. Still horrible.

      American here, agree with this stance, most of our chocolate tastes like shit. I blame Hershey.

      Ghiradelli (hard) and Sees (soft) are still pretty good, and they’re American. We also have some decent local chocolate shops, depending on where you are.

      Yet for some reason people seem to prefer crap like Hershey’s.

    I’m British (like Cadbury’s), but I’ve never heard of a “5 star” bar. Is it what we call a “Star bar”?

      I’d never heard of it either, but a web search finds a Wikipedia article, a few pictures and the implication that it’s not sold in the UK.

      Also, calling Cadbury “British” these days is a bit of a stretch. Yes, they were founded here and are still headquartered here, but they’re now a multinational corporation owned by an American corporation.

      And despite that American corporation being run by a Belgian, the quality has definitely gone in the American direction.

        As an American, I apologize for our crappy chocolate. We do have decent brands (Ghiradelli and Sees, for example), but prime people seem to prefer crap like Hersheys.

      No, it appears to be a Mars bar clone. However the nouget is dark in photos, so it could be a chocolate flavour.

        It might be relevant to point out that what constitutes a Mars bar differs depending on country. The US and UK are different, for example: Simple picture demonstration

        The picture doesn’t show what’s in a US Mars bar, but apparently it has almonds in it, as though it’s a Snickers just with a different kind of nut(?).

          I assumed it was just cheap whipped sugar with vanilla flavourings, but I have no idea.

      In India, 5 star has been around forever and was like a cheaper alternative to a Mars bar. They’ve also been known to do humorous advertising for 5 star over the years.

      Reminds me of the Michelin folks rating restaurants.

      Or the Yamaha music folks making boats.

      Mega corps!
