Does Cadbury's chocolate kick ass?

1. inferior candy, not even chocolate

They keep using fats other than Cacao Butter, no thanks.

5. American chocolate totally sucks. Why is that?

We invented the shit. Why come we no can make it taste good?

PS: By we, I meant, we in the Americas, not we in the US. Just to be clear.

[ooglymoogly]

8. ummm i believe ancient cultures in south america

discovered chocolate

[BurtWorm]

10. They're not the Americas?

;) Maybe you didn't read my PS.

[Kellanved]

12. it depends

The plant and the beverage (not cacao) are southern American, Cacao is Dutch and modern Chocolate is Swiss.

4. I like the eggs

But I've never had the chocolate by itself. It easily beats Hershey's, but doesn't Hershey's own Cadbury now?

As far as cheap chocolate goes, I really like Lindt Milk Chocolate. I usually buy them when they're on sale.

6. Hate to shake you out of your fantasy, but Cadbuty is a branch of

Hershey Foods Corporation.

14. i hate you all

i just had to go dig up a chocolate bar i had hidden so i wouldn't eat it. chomp chomp chomp.....heaven

ps i believe hershey is a red co. to bad

[Kellanved]

16. No

Cadbury-Schweppes is AFAIR still an independent company. Their distribution stateside might be courtesy of Hershey.

9. I would have said it's good, but recently had some Belgian chocolate

And it made me realize that what I'd been told was chocolate all these years isn't even close to what real chocolate tastes like.

It's like comparing salisbury steak to real steak.

11. Fry's Chocolate Cream is a good chocolate bar.

[cornermouse]

13. Hersheys is better.

15. Depends on where you buy it

Cadbury's chocolate is different in different countries. If you're talking Cadbury's in England all right!

17. As long as the test-subject is a Girlfriend/Wife who hasn't had Godiva...

...made the dreadfull mistake of buying my current girlfiend a box of Godiva chocolates once (new boyfriend, wanted to impress her, like many things at the time... all, to my own peril)... and that was enough to convince her.

If I'm ever as unfortunate to be single again... I'm strictly going with Target-bought Halloween candy for sweets.

Hell, come Valentine's Day, I'll spray-paint my old Halloween candy red. :P

Jess' kiddin' DU gals. ;)

18. Anyone who would spend a penny on Godiva is dumber than George Bush.

I'm not a chocolate freak, but I'll be damned if I can taste any difference betweens Godiva and Nestles.

Only an idiot would pay for packaging and a name.

By the way, if you're ever at the Boca Raton Mall in FL, try a chocolate shop called Palm Beach Chocolates. They're outstanding.

19. I noticed the taste changed

oh, about 7-10 years ago...now it's not so good.

I'd say Lindt is the best cheaper/mass marketed chocolate.

Edited: except for Crispy Crunch, I loooooove that bar.

20. Valrhona varietal chocolate.

22. It's Ritter Sport for me

Ritter Sports are square-shaped German chocolate bars, usually with things stirred into them.
