Cadbury's is now an American company. They closed the British factory after promising to keep it open, they changed the way the chocolate is melted & moved production to another country. The chocolate does not taste the same. They deserve to lose the Royal Warrant.
I love fruit and nut and cadbury;'s Bournwille but the chocolate doesn't taste the same , just sweeter than usual what was the last strw for me was I bought a box of Milk Tray 7 pieces ina tiny box very atrfully designed with lots of roo betewwen the hocolates Limited selection too So Mars ( a British Comany) and Galaxy ( a subsidiary of Mars will be my chocolate go to
@mayajrj I am Canadian and completely agree with the Fruit and Nut being too sweet recently. I wish it was less so, maybe add some dark chocolate to it?
I always thought Cadbury was Australian as we have a factory here, possibly two. Australian Cadbury has not changed at all, still with the famous glass and a half of milk. Do you remember the commercial with Professor Julius Sumner- Miller? I love Cadbury chocolate, fruit and nut is my favourite.
I believe Cadbury lost it's royal warrant because it's now been bought by an American company and the chocolate is not the same, they have also shrunk.
@@judewebb5694 It's clearly not produced as it was, in the UK. The product sold today bears no resemblance in quality and flavour, to the excellent product of the past, in my opinion.
I’m an American and Cadbury does not taste as sweet, smooth and creamy as it did I the past. America screwed that up. They should have stayed in the UK. America has Hershey and Cadbury was a British treat.
A chap from the Cadbury’s family has relaunched. Apparently he was on dragons den and they all wanted in. Unfortunately don’t know what the company was called nor have I heard any more about it
It's not CADBURY'S. Chocolate anymore, it was sold to an American company and they have completely ruined it. It now tastes disgusting. IT IS NOT A BRITISH COMPANY SO DOES NOT DESERVE A ROYAL WARRENT.
Cadbury’s chocolate was bought by Kraft who make cheese I also find a difference in taste to Cadbury chocolates. I bought a bag of Italian chocolates for Christmas & they were so yummy & creamy, everyone enjoyed them. Every year in December Woolworths sell these chocolates.
After promising the UK government that they would remain true to the British method of making chocolate, the Americans back tracked and shifted a lot of production abroad, and started extruding the chocolate using the American method, which leaves an unpleasant oily aftertaste. They deserve to have lost the royal warrant!
It’s the required junk our foods require - unpronounceable words! If anyo e has a chance, just read the ingredients in American foods and other countries!
Here in NZ Cadbury was exposed 5 years ago for using palm oil in their chocolate products, then they shut the factory and moved to Australia We couldn't give a monkeys as Whitakers chocolate is far superior
I remember suddenly there were disgusting jelly tots and sprinkles appearing everywhere. It’s not the way we ate chocolate - all that additional sugar and fake flavours.
@@heatherprice588 they still make chocolate here in UK that’s a fact as we went there two months ago. I give you that it doesn’t taste as good as earlier chocolate but it is still made here in the same place where it all started
Cadbury’s tried using palm oil in their recipe here in Australia. Tasted like 💩 so most Australians stopped buying it and they quickly realised,once they saw sales plummet, that we would not accept the cheap version. Whittakers and Other brands surged in sales and unfortunately Cadburys never really recovered
The US firm Kraft bought Cadburys. As an Englishman living in the United States I can tell you the chocolate over here is foul. I'm not surprised that all my British friends say that Cadburys have gone downhill.
Sadly that would be the explanation then! Kraft produces plastic food, it is just absolutely no nutrition! And they just mow over any smaller, better and destroy them if they are able to
It is shameful to me, an American, that the UK have good standards for the dispensing of healthy ingredients in their food products, whereas in my country the food industry is riddled with unhealthy chemicals in our food due to greed.
Since it went American it's NEVER tasted the same, plus they changed the bar sizes to smaller & put prices up so yeah they deserved to lose the riyal warrant besides Galaxy tastes so much smoother & creamier! 😮
Cadburys was always my favourite.I thought Galaxy too creamy. I don't like any cadburys now at all, it hasnt tasted the same since bought over and recipe has changed. Not pleasant at all.
It’s all those words we can’t pronounce that is required in so many y foods here in the US - just read the label!!! Any years ago my husband brought our son and myself some chocolate from Belgium!

I had never had it and I don’t drink (long story😃😃😃) but I nearly fell over when hitting that lovely center of each piece! All those miserable ingredients our food people require in chocolate instead of just milk, butter, etc. is just plain yucky!!!
Cadbury exists in name only, It is not, and bears no resemblance to, the company that the warrant was originally issued to. It is now not even a British company and some of its products aren't even manufactured in the UK, they don't use the same ingredients and closed one of their factories after promising to keep it open.

Cadburys Chocolate is no longer made by Cadburys, it was bought out by an American company who changed the ingredients, I understand that American chocolate tastes a bit like sick..The Cadbury family did a lot of good for their workers and for the people of Birmingham, I live close to the Lickey Hills a beautiful countryside area, and this was given by the family for the people of Birmingham to enjoy, they also built beautiful houses for their workers to live in this is called Bournville and is still very beautiful as it is not allowed to be changed, the Cadbury family were Quakers and cared about their workers.

Reading the comments below, they have closed UK factory and changed the flavour, so fair enough to remove the warrant. Let a UK brand of chocolate claim the warrant. I'm an Aussie, so no dog in the race and an unbiased opinion. Thanks for an interesting update Neil.
Cadbury's pulled manufacturing out of the country and thousands lost their jobs. They brought Bournville back to Britain but that certainly doesnt deserve a Royal Warrant. There is far better chocolate out there than waxy Cadbury's.
The King is right to do this - I boycotted Cadbury’s when the company was sold to Kraft and they changed the recipe. Palm oil is a big no-no. They closed down the Cadbury factory here in NZ and transferred the work to the Australian factory with a big loss of jobs for the Kiwi workers, so they forfeited our loyalty to the brand.
If they return the taste of the chocolate, and premises back to the original recipe & country, then they should get it back, till then, I agree, they don’t deserve the Royal warrant! It tastes NOTHING like it did originally!
Yes I agree for using a Palm Oil they deserve to disappear from the market ! It is seek like everybody is using a Palm Oil in almost all sweets, I do not buy them. Only few products are left without Palm Oil which is the most harmful from all oils.
Aussie here. Before Christmas I purchased 3 bags of Cadbury Clinkers from Woolworths . All 3 bags have half a dozen full clinkers, the rest of the bag contains fully chocolate coated small pebble sized broken pieces. Sometimes you would get broken ones but they didn't have chocolate all around simply broken in transport. The clinkers and bits are covered in sticky, claggy tasting ,rough chocolate. The chocolate used to be smooth , glossy and thick. Never again, total waste of money.They had been a favourite since I was small. I'm 71 now.
As a child I loved to eat Cadbury's Chocolate Buttons. I used to put one on my tongue, close my mouth, and just let it sit there, slowly melting, until I could stand it no longer and just enjoy that wonderful taste as it 'exploded' in my mouth. Since Cadbury's was taken over by an American company, they have changed the ingredients Cadbury's chocolate was originally made from and it now longer melts in the same way. I haven't eaten Cadbury's for quite some considerable time, as I found that the chocolate is no longer enjoyable. That melt on your tongue method of enjoying a few chocolate buttons no longer works in the same way. Now - the chocolate button doesn't 'melt', but it sits there, in it's original shape, and turns into a sort of jellified blob of something nasty. Cadbury's is completely off the shopping list for good, for me. It's now horrible stuff.
Unfortunately the new owners of Cadbury's changed the recipe for the worse, it is now very sickly and sweet. Much smaller and less smooth, they don't deserve the Royal warrant unless they revert to the original. I loved it, such a pity!
Smaller is a world-wide problem, even without changing anything else. It is commonly known as "Shrinkflation": the product shrinks, and the price goes up (inflates).
Cadbury has gone downhill over the last 10 years with lots of the chocolates now made in Poland. The worst effect if the purchase by Kraft was the loss of the Cadbury family principles. The company used to take extraordinary care of its employees even outside their working life. It was the best company I ever worked for with true employee care as a high priority. Within months of the takeover, that was all lost.
I grew up in South Africa on Cadburys milk chocolate which I thought was the best tasting chocolate on the planet... then I immigrated to the USA and tried Hersheys chocolate.... the worst tasting chocolate on the planet... I managed to find an outlet for Cadburys and for a few years was in 7th Heaven... then, HERSHEY CHOCOLATE bought out Cadburys and changed the recipe to Hersheys..... I now only eat Swiss chocolate which was always second best to Cadburys but now tops Cadbury and Hersheys which now no longer signifies in my life... Shame on you Hershey...
Does anyone remember the dog chocolates you used to be able to get? I know, I shouldn’t have tried one BUT to me Hersheys tastes like those dog chocolates. Sorry my American friends, but to me Hersheys isn’t pleasant at all.

The Quality of Cadbury has changed. It now contains far different ingredients to what we grew up in, remember the glass and a half of full cream milk? Yup, no more
Cadbury lost its taste ever since Kraft took over. No taste of cocoa in it. Not the Cadbury I know when I worked for Cadbury Schweppes Head Office near marble arch and Bayswater back in 1978, we would get samples to taste every time a new flavour was out. Those were the best days when everything had quality. My husband said the palm oil in the chocolate made him sick with stomach ache, so he stopped eating it.
My husband has given me a TIN of Quality STREET every Christmas for the last 54yrs (didn't give me one first Christmas we were married) it was the first present I opened Christmas morning and we'd each have one. Mine green triangle, husband purple one, daughter gold stick, son anyone of them. I remember taking the lid off to see all the sparkling colours so christmasy, but last year floppy cardboard one and when I opened it very dull wrappers with an odd sparkly one (last of the old wrappers I guess) but even the size and taste were very underwhelming. So much so this year I told him not to get one. Oh yes and add insult to injury there were no purple ones not even a single solitary one. People are going mad because they have lost the royal warranty after 150yrs well that was earned in the first place by hard work and people think they have the right to just sail along using it on someone else's hard work. They have thrown themselves under the bus with thier lack of respect for that warranty it's not given for life ever after it means something a standard and Cadbury no longer meet the standards needed to hold that warranty it's up to thier wok friends to help them now. You can't serve two gods they chose the wrong one. Original owners of Cadbury are absolutely spinning in thier graves.😢😢😢
Quality Street is Nestlé not Cadbury, but I get your point. The box I got was vile: every Quality Street had a taste of perfume (!!) so I’ll never buy another. Simple
Quality Street isn't produced by Cadburys ! Nestle, I believe. I refused to buy this year because part of the allure was the wonderful shiny wrappers. Also VERY sad to read MY favourite in purple wrapper no longer made.
@vivienhowe5028 , no they are not Cadbury but they have changed as well I used to buy tons of them at Christmas but they changed to the box and dull wrappers and they don't taste the same either so no more for me😢
Hi Neil, admittedly, I'm a Galaxy girl, always have been, but my family liked Cadbury's so that's what I ate unless my Nan was staying. When Cadbury's was bought by the American company that makes I believe, Hershey bars, they promised they wouldn't move the factory from the UK or change the recipe or taste. But they did. The aftertaste is, I'm sorry, like sick. I don't know what they are using or what they've done, but you can't keep the warrant if you change the thing the warrant was granted for, they knew that. Oh well. I didn't know that about Mr Al-Fayed, that's hilarious! Was he in his suit? I'm crying with laughter here. You should get a royal warrant for your ties. ❤ #kingofties
It's been American owned for some years, so it's doubtful that has any part to play in losing the warrant. A royal warrant symbolises quality, above all else, and the quality of Cadbury's chocolate is now abysmal, in my opinion. Therefore it rightly lost the Warrant.
I back King Charles 100%, Cadburys is no longer the wonderful chocolate it was when it got its Royal Warrant. I stopped buying it when they closed their NZ factory and the taste changed, it is now horrible and I am being polite, I could say much worse 😉🇳🇿
To many companies are cheating with their chocolate. Some of them have gotten so cheap tasting you’d swear they add candle wax instead of real chocolate. One bar I Indulged in ? I swear you may as well have bitten into a crayola crayon 🙊. ♥️🇨🇦
Honestly Neil Cadbury's doesn't taste like it used to. The New Zealand made chocolate Whittakers is so much nicer and, even though Cadbury's hasn't used Palm Oil in its production since 2009, the flavour is very substandard alongside Whittakers. I haven't even touched on the Belgium and Swiss Chocolates. I think Cadbury ought to be stripped of their Royal Warrant.
I live in Birmingham just two miles away from Cadbury factory in Bournville, years ago we could every day smell the chocolate or cocoa beans in the air. We were proud of our British company the community enjoyed what Bournville offered not just chocolate but no more, the chocolate is not as nice, horrible, such has changed all because the Americans bought it & moved in doing things the American way. Now its just money. I wonder what the Cadbury family think now. Nothing British anymore all foreign.😭
The taste of Cadburys changed a few years ago. It is now so greasy tasting. Its inferior to other chocolate. Perhaps that is why they lost the warrant.
48 years ago, I broke a front tooth biting into a Cadberry egg that I had put in the refrigerator. I remember because I was 8 months pregnant and nervous about telling the dentist how it happened since eating candy was frowned upon in the dental profession.
Cadbury was purchased by American company Kraft in 2010. Kraft then spun it off to Mondelez International. Even though it is still headquartered in London, it's not a fully British company anymore. Maybe that's why the king didn't renew their royal warrent.
No. It's just a matter of the awful quality of the product, in my opinion. The British aren't bigots. If the product was good, the warrant would have been retained.
It is still headquartered in bournville, even tells you on the wrapper it was never ever in london , I should know I worked there for 13 years met Dominic and Adrian Cadbury’s, it was founded in bournville which still stands to this day as does the factory
That company became vile years ago, when a major newspaper investigation revealed them unwrapping out of date chocolate returned to them, and mixing it back into the fresh. I was given a big bar of Dairy Milk for Christmas - but as it'd the ordinary brown chocolate, I can't even give it to the dog. (I can always drop it in the food-bank trolley at the local supermarket, I suppose.)
I agree. My ŕemainding favourite and, as a treat, recently bought a pack of 4. Twice the price, HALF the size and TASTELESS. Just pray Americans don't buy LINDT otherwise there won't be a decent chocolate left.
I think Charles needs to worry about the state of England instead of worrying about a bar of chocolate, our monarch is pathetic………Britain is collapsing and he’s worried about sweeties ffs.
Hadn’t seen Cadbury in awhile, and then saw a whole shelf at a candy outlet. I checked the sell by dates and happily expected creamy flavors once home…Two bites later, everything went into the bin. More greedy traitors. Boo!
Cadbury's destroyed itself by changing its recipe for profit making. If I was the King I would have stripped it to. When they destroyed Roses Chocolates I was done. Now we only eat Whittakers Chocolate, which is far superior.
I live in the US, and every Christmas would order several tins of Roses and Heroes from Ireland, but sadly, this is the first year I have not done so. Irish Cadbury's seemed to retain the original chocolate recipe/taste up until the last couple of years. Also, see QI's explanation as to why US/Hershey's chocolate tastes like vomit -- QI | Series R Episode 5 | BBC
I had heard that a Cadbury bar in England was much better than American made. I brought an American Cadbury with me on a trip to England and bought one in England to do a taste test. The English Cadbury was far superior.
Cadbury chocolate is not the same, fruit and nut was thicker and had whole hazelnuts, now its thinner encasing almonds and in some bars slivers of almonds, definitely not the same!!
I DON'T KNOW WHY THE POLLY WAFFLES WERE STOPPED. MY POCKET MONEY WAS ON A FRIDAY & A POLLY WAFFLE WAS MY TREAT. I REALLY MISS THEM.DOES ANYONE ELSE REMEMBER ENJOYING ONE..
I remember the penny bars of Cadbury chocolate. It's an age thing Neil. I'm not so keen on the chocolate they make today it seems to be lacking something. It's lost its special taste.
The Hershey Company here in the US has the license to produce Cadbury here in the states. I haven't liked Hershey since they changed from using cocoa butter to vegetable oil in their chocolate. Cadbury here is actually Hershey and tastes the same. I've yet to find a good chocolate here but I do know the best ice cream, Graeter's Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip.
The company that owns Cadbury now would have to go back to the original recipe to get the Royal Warrant back and that is Mondelez a division of Kraft Foods.
We in the States LOVE Cadbury...their Fruit and Nut candy bar and the Dairy Milk were my favorite...can't find them now...we loved them for their taste but we ALSO liked them being from ENGLAND !
My American husband noticed in September when we were visiting England that Cadbury chocolates there were much better than the American versions. So at😊 least the British versions beat what we get in the US.
What a shame that they lost their royal warrant. Good for the Queen. Maybe they'll get it back! I'm going to buy a Cadbury bar with the royal warrant on it and try hard not to eat it!
Ive bedn a royalist all my life but im getting that im not . Our Kind is very woke and i think its for very different reasons that Cadbury has lost royal warrant
In Australia, Cadbury has always marketed itself as an Australian brand and has never displayed a Royal Warrant. So, I am surprised to learn it is English.
I understood through someone really researching that the UK Cadbury still has the warrant . It is the us Cadbury company name escapes me that has lost the warrant . Here in the US Cadbury UK is banned from importing here to US quite a bit more than I said .
Cadbury's is now an American company. They closed the British factory after promising to keep it open, they changed the way the chocolate is melted & moved production to another country. The chocolate does not taste the same. They deserve to lose the Royal Warrant.

Cadbury's is not what it used to be, I haven't bought it for many years now.
If they return the taste of the chocolate, and premises back to the original recipe & country, then they should get it back, till then, I agree, they don’t deserve the Royal warrant! It tastes NOTHING like it did originally!
There’s are small company’s producing beautiful chocolate and made in Britain that are more deserving

Cadbury 's chocolate now tastes horrible. Changing the recipe was madness. So glad they have removed the warrant.
Yes I agree for using a Palm Oil they deserve to disappear from the market ! It is seek like everybody is using a Palm Oil in almost all sweets, I do not buy them. Only few products are left without Palm Oil which is the most harmful from all oils.
Aussie here. Before Christmas I purchased 3 bags of Cadbury Clinkers from Woolworths . All 3 bags have half a dozen full clinkers, the rest of the bag contains fully chocolate coated small pebble sized broken pieces. Sometimes you would get broken ones but they didn't have chocolate all around simply broken in transport. The clinkers and bits are covered in sticky, claggy tasting ,rough chocolate. The chocolate used to be smooth , glossy and thick. Never again, total waste of money.They had been a favourite since I was small. I'm 71 now.
True the chocolate has lost its creamy taste and size are smaller but price has gone up.
Claggy is the description I use too.
Cadbury’s is now owned by Kraft and American company and the quality has gone down.
As a child I loved to eat Cadbury's Chocolate Buttons. I used to put one on my tongue, close my mouth, and just let it sit there, slowly melting, until I could stand it no longer and just enjoy that wonderful taste as it 'exploded' in my mouth. Since Cadbury's was taken over by an American company, they have changed the ingredients Cadbury's chocolate was originally made from and it now longer melts in the same way. I haven't eaten Cadbury's for quite some considerable time, as I found that the chocolate is no longer enjoyable. That melt on your tongue method of enjoying a few chocolate buttons no longer works in the same way. Now - the chocolate button doesn't 'melt', but it sits there, in it's original shape, and turns into a sort of jellified blob of something nasty. Cadbury's is completely off the shopping list for good, for me. It's now horrible stuff.
Unfortunately the new owners of Cadbury's changed the recipe for the worse, it is now very sickly and sweet. Much smaller and less smooth, they don't deserve the Royal warrant unless they revert to the original. I loved it, such a pity!
Smaller is a world-wide problem, even without changing anything else. It is commonly known as "Shrinkflation": the product shrinks, and the price goes up (inflates).
Cadbury has gone downhill over the last 10 years with lots of the chocolates now made in Poland. The worst effect if the purchase by Kraft was the loss of the Cadbury family principles. The company used to take extraordinary care of its employees even outside their working life. It was the best company I ever worked for with true employee care as a high priority. Within months of the takeover, that was all lost.
I grew up in South Africa on Cadburys milk chocolate which I thought was the best tasting chocolate on the planet... then I immigrated to the USA and tried Hersheys chocolate.... the worst tasting chocolate on the planet... I managed to find an outlet for Cadburys and for a few years was in 7th Heaven... then, HERSHEY CHOCOLATE bought out Cadburys and changed the recipe to Hersheys..... I now only eat Swiss chocolate which was always second best to Cadburys but now tops Cadbury and Hersheys which now no longer signifies in my life... Shame on you Hershey...
I agree 1000%.
Does anyone remember the dog chocolates you used to be able to get? I know, I shouldn’t have tried one BUT to me Hersheys tastes like those dog chocolates. Sorry my American friends, but to me Hersheys isn’t pleasant at all.
That's funny, I find Hershey's better than Cadbury's. Hershey's tastes more of cocoa and is less sweet than Cadbury's. It's all a matter of taste.
@@annabellelee4535 You are so right... It is a matter of taste.... I can't stand the taste of beer and yet it is enjoyed all around the world... "Happy New Year"" Planet over...
@@alm54 Yes, I know what you mean. I'm not a fan of beer other than a very occasional extra light in the summer to be sociable. Happy New Year and may the Earth have a year of peace and prosperity.
The Quality of Cadbury has changed. It now contains far different ingredients to what we grew up in, remember the glass and a half of full cream milk? Yup, no more
Cadbury’s in the US is definitely of less quality.
So is Lindt! The Lindt sold in Switzerland is different (better) than than the wax we get here in the US.
I dont buy Cadburys anymore. it's horrible.
I received a tin of Cadbury Roses for Christmas and they were AWFUL
@JenniB123, yep they have gone down the toilet as well same as quality street.
Cadburys should have safeguarded the recipe: Sugar & palm oil - it’s not the same product it was which had deserved the Royal Warrant previously.
Boots,Elizabeth arden and clarins have lost theirs as well.
Elizabeth Arden, interesting. Did a wayward prince add the last nail to their coffin I wonder? 🤔
American owned now, taste will change
Already has, almost as bad as Hershey
Cadbury lost its taste ever since Kraft took over. No taste of cocoa in it. Not the Cadbury I know when I worked for Cadbury Schweppes Head Office near marble arch and Bayswater back in 1978, we would get samples to taste every time a new flavour was out. Those were the best days when everything had quality. My husband said the palm oil in the chocolate made him sick with stomach ache, so he stopped eating it.
Terrible
My husband has given me a TIN of Quality STREET every Christmas for the last 54yrs (didn't give me one first Christmas we were married) it was the first present I opened Christmas morning and we'd each have one. Mine green triangle, husband purple one, daughter gold stick, son anyone of them. I remember taking the lid off to see all the sparkling colours so christmasy, but last year floppy cardboard one and when I opened it very dull wrappers with an odd sparkly one (last of the old wrappers I guess) but even the size and taste were very underwhelming. So much so this year I told him not to get one. Oh yes and add insult to injury there were no purple ones not even a single solitary one. People are going mad because they have lost the royal warranty after 150yrs well that was earned in the first place by hard work and people think they have the right to just sail along using it on someone else's hard work. They have thrown themselves under the bus with thier lack of respect for that warranty it's not given for life ever after it means something a standard and Cadbury no longer meet the standards needed to hold that warranty it's up to thier wok friends to help them now. You can't serve two gods they chose the wrong one. Original owners of Cadbury are absolutely spinning in thier graves.😢😢😢
Quality Street is Nestlé not Cadbury, but I get your point. The box I got was vile: every Quality Street had a taste of perfume (!!) so I’ll never buy another. Simple
Quality Street isn't produced by Cadburys ! Nestle, I believe.
I refused to buy this year because part of the allure was the wonderful shiny wrappers. Also VERY sad to read MY favourite in purple wrapper no longer made.
@vivienhowe5028 , no they are not Cadbury but they have changed as well I used to buy tons of them at Christmas but they changed to the box and dull wrappers and they don't taste the same either so no more for me😢

Hi Neil, admittedly, I'm a Galaxy girl, always have been, but my family liked Cadbury's so that's what I ate unless my Nan was staying.
When Cadbury's was bought by the American company that makes I believe, Hershey bars, they promised they wouldn't move the factory from the UK or change the recipe or taste. But they did. The aftertaste is, I'm sorry, like sick. I don't know what they are using or what they've done, but you can't keep the warrant if you change the thing the warrant was granted for, they knew that. Oh well.
I didn't know that about Mr Al-Fayed, that's hilarious! Was he in his suit? I'm crying with laughter here. You should get a royal warrant for your ties. ❤
#kingofties
Cadbury always was a special Christmas treat in Canada. If they've changed their recipe and lowered their standards it won't be a treat any more.
From what I could find out Cadbury is not British owned...could that be why they lost the Royal Warrant?
@teresab955, yes.
It's been American owned for some years, so it's doubtful that has any part to play in losing the warrant. A royal warrant symbolises quality, above all else, and the quality of Cadbury's chocolate is now abysmal, in my opinion. Therefore it rightly lost the Warrant.
@@mbd6054 It contains palm oil now, something King Charles would frown on as it contributes massively to deforestation.
@judyswinden9935 That makes sense, Judy. Thank you.
Its not what it used to be. Who else remembers Frank Muir Everyone's a fruit and nut case? You have the running round now🤭😀
NUTs OH HAZEL NUTs UGH CADBURYS TAKE THEM AND COVER THEM IN CHOCOLATE 🍫

@@vivienhowe5028 was that norman Vaughan?
@@mariannesyrett7759 Yes it was.
I back King Charles 100%, Cadburys is no longer the wonderful chocolate it was when it got its Royal Warrant. I stopped buying it when they closed their NZ factory and the taste changed, it is now horrible and I am being polite, I could say much worse 😉🇳🇿
To many companies are cheating with their chocolate. Some of them have gotten so cheap tasting you’d swear they add candle wax instead of real chocolate. One bar I Indulged in ? I swear you may as well have bitten into a crayola crayon 🙊. ♥️🇨🇦
Honestly Neil Cadbury's doesn't taste like it used to. The New Zealand made chocolate Whittakers is so much nicer and, even though Cadbury's hasn't used Palm Oil in its production since 2009, the flavour is very substandard alongside Whittakers. I haven't even touched on the Belgium and Swiss Chocolates. I think Cadbury ought to be stripped of their Royal Warrant.
As NZ is a realm of KCIII, why can't he extend a warrant to Whittakers?
@@josspup Having had a taste of their brand I wonder that too? Does Whittakers have to be encouraged to send a few samples I wonder?
I live in Birmingham just two miles away from Cadbury factory in Bournville, years ago we could every day smell the chocolate or cocoa beans in the air. We were proud of our British company the community enjoyed what Bournville offered not just chocolate but no more, the chocolate is not as nice, horrible, such has changed all because the Americans bought it & moved in doing things the American way. Now its just money. I wonder what the Cadbury family think now. Nothing British anymore all foreign.😭
Cadburys should not have changed the recipe, or the size. Two big mistakes that people DO notice.
The taste of Cadburys changed a few years ago. It is now so greasy tasting. Its inferior to other chocolate. Perhaps that is why they lost the warrant.
48 years ago, I broke a front tooth biting into a Cadberry egg that I had put in the refrigerator. I remember because I was 8 months pregnant and nervous about telling the dentist how it happened since eating candy was frowned upon in the dental profession.
Cadbury was purchased by American company Kraft in 2010. Kraft then spun it off to Mondelez International. Even though it is still headquartered in London, it's not a fully British company anymore. Maybe that's why the king didn't renew their royal warrent.
No. It's just a matter of the awful quality of the product, in my opinion. The British aren't bigots. If the product was good, the warrant would have been retained.
It is still headquartered in bournville, even tells you on the wrapper it was never ever in london , I should know I worked there for 13 years met Dominic and Adrian Cadbury’s, it was founded in bournville which still stands to this day as does the factory
@timetraveller9321 the bournville factory is still open but is no longer a completely British company
@@Ceba-pw8hk yes that’s true, they sold out, big time now it’s ruined lots of jobs gone for good
That company became vile years ago, when a major newspaper investigation revealed them unwrapping out of date chocolate returned to them, and mixing it back into the fresh.
I was given a big bar of Dairy Milk for Christmas - but as it'd the ordinary brown chocolate, I can't even give it to the dog. (I can always drop it in the food-bank trolley at the local supermarket, I suppose.)
Recently someone sent me a box of Flakes. I've always loved those,they were tiny and didn't taste good at all!😢
I agree. My ŕemainding favourite and, as a treat, recently bought a pack of 4. Twice the price, HALF the size and TASTELESS.
Just pray Americans don't buy LINDT otherwise there won't be a decent chocolate left.
I think Charles needs to worry about the state of England instead of worrying about a bar of chocolate, our monarch is pathetic………Britain is collapsing and he’s worried about sweeties ffs.
Good day Neil😊i used to love Cadburys. It’s too bad it changed.
Hadn’t seen Cadbury in awhile, and then saw a whole shelf at a candy outlet. I checked the sell by dates and happily expected creamy flavors once home…Two bites later, everything went into the bin. More greedy traitors. Boo!
Cadbury's destroyed itself by changing its recipe for profit making. If I was the King I would have stripped it to. When they destroyed Roses Chocolates I was done. Now we only eat Whittakers Chocolate, which is far superior.
Not up to the original recipe!!
I live in the US, and every Christmas would order several tins of Roses and Heroes from Ireland, but sadly, this is the first year I have not done so. Irish Cadbury's seemed to retain the original chocolate recipe/taste up until the last couple of years. Also, see QI's explanation as to why US/Hershey's chocolate tastes like vomit -- QI | Series R Episode 5 | BBC
I had heard that a Cadbury bar in England was much better than American made. I brought an American Cadbury with me on a trip to England and bought one in England to do a taste test. The English Cadbury was far superior.
The so called 'King' ain't happy with his bar of chocolate! Well..... we ain't happy with him!
I find most choc nowadays has sugar listed as the first ingredient, rather than cacao. Not the same flavour but cheaper to produce.
Cadbury chocolate is not the same, fruit and nut was thicker and had whole hazelnuts, now its thinner encasing almonds and in some bars slivers of almonds, definitely not the same!!
I DON'T KNOW WHY THE POLLY WAFFLES WERE STOPPED. MY POCKET MONEY WAS ON A FRIDAY & A POLLY WAFFLE WAS MY TREAT. I REALLY MISS THEM.DOES ANYONE ELSE REMEMBER ENJOYING ONE..
I remember the penny bars of Cadbury chocolate. It's an age thing Neil. I'm not so keen on the chocolate they make today it seems to be lacking something. It's lost its special taste.
Rise British people...
It’s not the same as before, I can’t stand it now. It leaves a horrible oily feeling in your mouth. Good for King Charlie.👍🏻
Harry thinks that's how the Royal family still operates and that upstart thing he married!.. like throwing hot tea at a Member of staff (Australia).
The Hershey Company here in the US has the license to produce Cadbury here in the states. I haven't liked Hershey since they changed from using cocoa butter to vegetable oil in their chocolate. Cadbury here is actually Hershey and tastes the same. I've yet to find a good chocolate here but I do know the best ice cream, Graeter's Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip.
Wow ice cream sounds yummy
I really miss the tins of Cadburys chocolate biscuits . Always bought them at Christmas time. I suppose biscuits aren't as popular in America.
We always had a tub of Cadbury chocolate fingers at Christmas, a treat, we all loved them.
i won’t touch anything that has palm oil in it.
Nuts Whole Hazelnuts Cadbury’s take ‘em and they cover them with chocolate.👋👋👋👋
The company that owns Cadbury now would have to go back to the original recipe to get the Royal Warrant back and that is Mondelez a division of Kraft Foods.
They would have to go back to the old recipe. They destroyed it.
Good Evening Neil 🍾🇺🇲🍾👋🤚👋🍾💚❤️💚🍾
Кто кому навредит тот за это и заплатит прошли те времена когда безнаказанность была в их интересах лучше сразу отдать Иначе потеряют больше
We in the States LOVE Cadbury...their Fruit and Nut candy bar and the Dairy Milk were my favorite...can't find them now...we loved them for their taste but we ALSO liked them being from ENGLAND !
Yes in NZ it has been over taken by Whittakers, a NZ company. Cadburys is def not the same.
My American husband noticed in September when we were visiting England that Cadbury chocolates there were much better than the American versions. So at😊 least the British versions beat what we get in the US.
What a shame that they lost their royal warrant. Good for the Queen. Maybe they'll get it back! I'm going to buy a Cadbury bar with the royal warrant on it and try hard not to eat it!
Th Royal Warrant means eff all to anyone but the RF itself.
Kraft said that Fry’s would remain in England, but it did not and moved to Poland.
Ive bedn a royalist all my life but im getting that im not . Our Kind is very woke and i think its for very different reasons that Cadbury has lost royal warrant
Are people so pathetic that if the king or queen (one person) likes something they are going to buy it?. Sad people.
Greetings Neil ! That’s quite a recommendation if Queen Camilla enjoys Cadbury.
In Australia, Cadbury has always marketed itself as an Australian brand and has never displayed a Royal Warrant. So, I am surprised to learn it is English.
I understood through someone really researching that the UK Cadbury still has the warrant . It is the us Cadbury company name escapes me that has lost the warrant . Here in the US Cadbury UK is banned from importing here to US quite a bit more than I said .
Kraft Cheese bought Cadbury's, changed the recipe and moved manufacturing, initially, to Poland
