John Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 So much for keeping it local! Liverpool now have Cadbury as their official "chocolate partner". That's a real slap in the face for those Brummies that currently work there or who have worked at Bournville in the past. It's a dark day for Bournville and owners Mondelez International, have made a shameful decision, that will cost them more than a few sales of Christmas selection boxes in the coming years!

The Fun Factory Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Cadbury is barely chocolate- its sugary mush with added vegetable fats. Liverpool are welcome to it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) living in the past, local businesses and football clubs means nothing any more, especially when the local businesses are actually owned by bigger businesses dotted around the world, mondelez international will not give 2 shits about Birmingham or its football clubs, FWIW they were already a partner of man utd the biggest issue here is "official chocolate partner" what the **** is that shit?! FFP at its finest, we can compete with that cant we? how the **** is it a bad thing that our billionaire owners dip their hands in to their own pockets to spend their own money on their own football club but a chocolate partner is a good thing? the games well and truly gone maybe an even bigger issue... @thefunfactory u wot m8? cadburys still cant be beat even if the yank overlords have tried to flog the dead donkey with 40 new flavours a year Edited September 7, 2020 by villa4europe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 There was a drop-off in quality of Cadbury's after they got bought up all those years ago, though some of it's still plenty nice (and is so far above whatever artificial guff that's meant to pass for American chocolate). That said I'm a fairly recent convert to Ritter, which manages to shit on Cadbury's from an almighty height. Their peppermint creams and their honey roasted almond bars, oh my days. Sorry, what were we talking about here? Ah yeah, the sponsorship thingy. @villa4europe has it nailed on. I don't have the geographical affiliation personally so admittedly it's no skin off my nose anyway, would it be nice to have an iconic local company sponsor the team? Probably, but as far as the modern footballing landscape goes I couldn't care less if we were sponsored by KY Jelly, as long as they had greasy enough palms.

VT Supporter Stevo985 Posted September 7, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 7, 2020 Cadburys changing their recipe when they were bought by Kraft is a myth by the way. They did change the recipe of Creme Eggs I believe but everything else stayed the same. I think they DID change some recipes last year though, but that was because of the sugar tax I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a myth yep, they might have tweaked it a little but they haven't changed it, I can still taste the difference between cadburys and milka for example even though they now share flavours the biggest change they've made is a focus on the 250g or whatever they are bars and the bags rather than the traditional chocolate bars, they've gone to shit (not just cadburys, nestle and mars have done the same) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Somebody told me recently that American chocolate bars mainly Hersheys taste and smell different because whichever ingredient they use it actually smells like vomit. Americans grew up with this so its normal scent for them but Europeans can tell it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) American chocolate is no debate, horrible stuff Feel like cadburys is maybe getting a raw deal because of them changing the recipe in international markets Personally cadburys has a chunkier bar with more bite to it, Milka has a thinner bar which is flimsier and softer which some may find to be smoother and melt in the mouth The varieties of the main bars here at least are pretty much the same although cadburys have the varieties such as crunchie, boost, cream egg etc that Milka don't (which because of me growing up with them they are the best bars) Waiting for a polish member to throw weddle in to the mix...
