I doubt that Cadbury's is entirely to blame for the addition of **** to
their foodstuff no matter how reprehensible we all find their conduct
since January.

Once upon a time all products were -as far as it was possible, produced
to the highest standards. That is how prepackaged foods got a market
place over real foods. Real food, fresh food, required a long wheelbase
from farm to city. Stuff perished and unscrupulous merchants got rid of
it as best they could.

The alternative was to buy tinned and preserved stuff that was produced
by people with great reputations.

I bet the fools responsible for the penny pinching are regretting
things there at the moment. I hope they have to eat their ****.


Two things which may, or may not, be relevant:

I haven't bought any Cadbury's chocolate for a long time. I found that any
other chocolates that I ate, always tasted better.
It must be all that milk that they put in (rather than cocoa solids).

I used to be very fond of Horlicks light malt drinking chocolate. Then one
day I bought a carton of it which _didn't taste quite so good_. So I phoned
the company, and was instructed to send the item back ( I received a stamped
jiffy bag and a £5.00 voucher).
To come to the point, I find that the product is still the same (inferior);
and that if I add a small amount of pure cocoa per cup, that drink tastes
better. I believe that the manufacter have reduced the cocoa content. It
says 4% on the carton; which is only a small amount, after all. Can you
believe that, or are my taste buds lying to me?
