So I checked the back and it says that it's made by hershey's.........But it tastes just the same as the good stuff back home!!

Don't Hershey's own Cadbury now anyway?

Btw all you folks who moan about American chocolate not being as good as British chocolate, just be grateful you aren't diabetic like me! I'd be happy to eat any kind if I was allowed!

Ja5on

Nope, Kraft bought them a couple of years ago.

N0 offence intended but hen was the last time you had a real Cadbury bar ?

I don't think they taste anything like the original. Even my USC wife wont touch these now after having a real one in England.

About a month ago when I went back.....to be fair I'm not a huge chocolate fan so I could easily be wrong!

Rete

It is allowed.

Chocolate and its ingredients are carbs and if you watch the carbs you can have a bit of chocolate as a snack.

Take it from a long time diabetic ... you can have your sweets.

Oh no it doesn't...

oops slipped into panto dame mode there for a sec

The only cadbury products I've found that compare to their UK counterparts are Mini Eggs, tbh. Mega happy about them putting out a Christmas version of them, too, now. Not so ecstatic about being only able to find them at the Safeway by the 'rents house in Modesto, and not at the one by my uni in San Francisco.

I agree. Men...what do they know?

Sadly, it is not the same as Dairy Milk made in UK. Its American-made crap.

You can order UK Dairy Milk imported on British shops like British Isles, for example.

We won't touch them here!

Oh, around holidays if you check in World Market you will find the real UK Dairy Milk!!!

Just read the wrapper...if it's made in USA, the chocolate fat solids are lower, per FDA rules allowing lower than UK.

You can also get the Fake Cadburys from Walmart, made under an agreement with that shit-outfit from Pennsylvania.

Trust me, when you go back to England for a visit, you will notice the difference.

Edit: Duty-Free stores, coming back into the USA from Canada, tend to have a good selection of the "Real-Deal" in case anyone is interested


Jim.

Phoenecia on Westheimer stocks the real deal too along with Heinz Beans, Orangina in glass bottles and other international goodies. If you haven't been you must go it's a real treat! They have just opened a new store downtown too.

Thorntons do a diabetic chocolate. DH says it's a fairly acceptable option. I've not met an American chocolate that I really like yet. Hershey's including American Cadbury's, Whitmans, even See's' all pretty yucky. There might be an individual chocolate maker out there that I've not tried their product yet.

Bomjeito

Yeah! I found that a few weeks ago! Thanks! British Isles is good for folk too as they do mail order.

... quite alot, really. Its not that we are incapable - we just don't care about if a loo seat is down or not; its not a catastrophe.
