Ugh! My god that amount of chocolate just makes me feel ill just thinking about it. The Milky Way in the USA is actually a MARS Bar in this country which is most confusing but American chocolate is dire compared to European chocolate and I have to say ours is the best around.

Is there any coincidence in the fact that the quality of Cadbury’s has declined so much since their takeover by an American company?
I’m sorry but Americans are clueless when it comes to making chocolate. Exhibit A : Hershey’s chocolate - the smell alone put me off it...so reminiscent of vomit it was frightening.

Totally agree, Kraft fucked dairy milk, ruined creme eggs and worse of all, screwed the workers over to save money...allegedly.
Hershey's is rank, tastes like it's made with off ingredients. I think the only one I've tried that's okay is the Reese's Pieces, saved by the peanut butter.

Remember reading somewhere that Hershey’s chocolate contains a chemical called butyric acid.
Nasty fact : Butyric acid is also found in...yes you guessed it...vomit!
Hershey’s anyone? Ugh!

No "allegedly" about it.... I live only a few miles from their Bournville factory, & know of several ex-workers who were screwed over, hence why they no longer work there.

Agree with all that Kraft or Mondelez as it is now completely destroyed Cadbury's and really screwed over the workers. Stupid bitch that used to run Nicola someone refused to face a Committee so that shows you the sort of person SHE is/was and yet people still continue to buy the products and no doubt they made a mint out Christmas sales.
Raymond Briggs, author of Fungus the Bogeyman and Father Christmas used to add his father into the cartoon books as a milkman because that is what his profession was-a milkman and appears in Father Christmas(book and film) and the book/film of his life Ernest and Ethel(his mother) If you get a chance to see that cartoon film about his parents and early life watch it, but expect a few tears towards the end.
David Bowie sang the title song of 'When the Wind Blows' and it was performed on radio starring Peter Sallis(Wallace & Gromt) and became a feature film which featured Sir John Mills.

In 1970 when David Bowie briefly formed ‘The Hype’, everyone in the band dressed up as Super Heroes. They were booed off everywhere they played.

Olly Murs was a contestant on Deal or No Deal before he found fame. He went home with £10.

Chris Martin of Coldplay has a first class honours degree in Greek and Latin.

Bob Marley’s song ‘I shot the Sheriff’ is about birth control.
Marley was an opponent of birth control, finding it to be sacrilegious, so he disliked the doctor who was prescribing the medication to his girlfriend.
That doctor went on to become a sheriff....
