In the United States, Cadbury is an Easter tradition, but in the United Kingdom, it's so much more than that. It goes back almost 200 years and is one of the most popular candy brands today. This video takes a look at the company's history, their presence in the United States, and takes a close look at the Cadbury Creme Egg (It is Easter after all).
Have a Happy Easter Everybody!

Mondeleze changed the recipe of Creme eggs in 2016 from using dairy milk, to a generic chocolate to save money, no one likes the new taste.
But Mondoleze have ruined loads of brands to save money, Chocolate Orange, Toblerone Etc. all ruined.
Yep, I miss old Cadbury.
DON'T GET ME STARTED ON TOBLERONE.
I used to love Toblerone as a kid but when I grew up I also started to hate it. I guess that's why.
I thought chocolate orange tasted crap trying it again after years of not having it... that’s so disappointing
Toblerone was "ruined" due to brexit, I thought?
From the UK here - Cadburys UK tastes much better than Cadburys US to me, I was surprised how much so, Cadburys US is much drier, almost powdery. I think the flavor difference is down to how the chocolate is made, US chocolates tend to use much less cocoa butter and replace it with an emulsifier called PGPR which is cheaper, they also include additives to make the chocolate more resistant to melting in warmer US climates.
There are a couple of US chocolate brands with UK counterparts, 'Dove' is known as 'Galaxy' in the UK and while the difference isn't quite so significant as Cadburys, there is still a noticeable change. One of the only US chocolates I enjoy is Nestle Crunch, they taste the exact same in both the US and the UK - so if you are US based and want a vague idea of what British people expect chocolate to taste like, a Crunch bar is your best bet.
Kind of interesting fact; In the 1800s Cadbury created a town for their employees called Bournville since George and Richard Cadbury were both Quakers and believed in treating their employees incredibly well. If you get chance, do a little research on the quaker chocolate families in the UK (Rowntree, Cadbury, Fry and Terry), there's a ton of crazy interesting corporate history there, for a long time those four families produced most of the well known candy in the UK and all four are still around today.
The problem with our food that needs any type of sugar is that our companies uses corn syrup and way too much of it. I was given a box of maple syrup cookies from Canada and holy cow did they taste different than what I expected, but a good different lol.
Josh Black I was surprised he never mentioned the village for the employees, didn't they have some strict rules to be able to live there too?
Huh, good thing I don't live in England. I hate crunch bars.
Most American chocolate doesn't even legally qualify as chocolate in the UK due to regulations, but rather "chocolate flavored candy." & we put wax in our chocolate too. Fukkin wax.
Do a video on brands that get so big that their names become synonymous with the product: Chapstick, Kleenex, Jell-o, Jacuzzi, Xerox, and Band-Aid
genericized trademarks
Eponym?
Don't forget google
Also dumpsters.
You forgot Q Tips.
As an American, I can 100% confirm that the chocolate sold from European and other countries often has better flavor and richness that American chocolate lacks. I've never found Hershey's to be all that delectable, and I instead chose the European brands. When visiting the UK, I found that my favorite Cadbury product was Wispa (it is absolutely the best air infused chocolate bar on the market). When in Switzerland, you are surrounded by some of the best chocolate around. Even Germany has great chocolate with Ritter Sport and Milka (both great brands). Kinder is now more widely available in the US (although the taste seems slightly off from the ones I had in Europe but its decently close). Nutella B-ready bars are also amazing. In general, go try some international chocolate, the flavor and richness just doesn't compare to American brands for the most part.
Everyone is suggesting a video about Nintendo, but all of these people already know the history... It's much more interesting to hear about companies we don't give much thought to.
Do you know the history of Nintendo?
I wanna know how big they are
superkingboo yes we know
agreed. there are already plenty of Nintendo history videos
How about Atari
Cadbury is huge in Australia, i mean every store is filled with Cadbury is probley the most popular chocolate over here.....also make more aussie vids pls
Jude Brading Your avatar is super annoying.
I think it would be cool if he made a video on how we've kind of Australianised American Fast food eg. Hungry jacks/Burger King and Macca's/ Macdonalds. We have essentially taken an American brand name and changed it to our liking (even thought Hungry jack to burger king switch wasnt intentional)
we have costco in straya though
Damn eyelash! Oh it’s an avatar
I agree
I'm an American from Southern California. In the 90's I love the cadbury's caramello bar. They even had a crazy commercial for it.
@Bernard Sutter Roses are awesome! Whenever my dad went on business trips and had a stopover in London, we'd always ask for a box of Roses. He'd often say it's too expensive, which it was, LOL.
That said, as a kid of Indian ancestry, my parents would take us to visit family in India, often for a couple months at a time. We grew up on Hersheys, but India being a former British colony only had Cadbury, Dairy Milk being the most popular. I remember not liking it as much.
I love caramello. Better than Hershey.
I know this is an old comment but you should try and get some caramello koalas! We have them here in Aus and imo they're so much better than caramello bars, way more caramel to chocolate ratio 😍
@@nahor88 Roses are now crap, the chocolate is no longer made to the original recipe and now tastes bland (like virtually all native American chocolate)
I grew up eating Hershey’s bars, but when I visited England last year, I was shocked by how much better the chocolate was. It’s much smoother tasting than American chocolate, and it’s not as expensive.
The popular ones are Crunchie, Wispa, Twirl and Dairy Milk IMO.
I'm surprised you didn't go into the background of the Bournville factory. The Cadbury family were Quakers, and when they built their original factory in the town of Bourneville, they built houses for the workers. They famously put care into the working conditions because of their Quaker beliefs. The factory had such good conditions that it became known as "The Factory in the Garden."
I still remember my dad's dad worked in the Somerdale factory in Keynsham, Bristol back in the 70s and used to bring home Curly Wurlys for my dad. Unfortunately, the Somerdale factory closed about 7 years ago and it's now just another block of flats, so most of the heritage behind the factory is gone.
Bourneville is not a town, it was a field at the time on the outskirts of Birmingham at the time and the factory was built next to the Birmingham to Bristol Main Line of the then LMS Railway Company with its own Station to originally bring staff in from Birmingham on Cheap workers tickets, it was also built next to a canal and on the Banks of the Bourne Brook small river, when the houses were built to house the workers around the Cadbury Work they built the village at the time with no shops or pubs and named it Bourne Ville, Bourne after the Bourne Brook and Ville French for Village, over the years as the City of Birmingham expanded in size so Bourneville became a district of Birmingham and still is the only district of Birmingham with no Pubs or Restaurants in it, and Cadbury Chocolate is still made in Birmingham at Bourneville.
Its all went down the toilet from its roots now.
Sadly, Mondelez have done a wonderful job of fucking up most of what made Cadbury's products awesome by butchering the recipes so they're now resemble your typical American chocolate. Dairy Milk is one of the few that they haven't dared mess with (yet).
I remember going to the Cadbury factory in Year 8 that was a fun school trip
Ropsana Khanom Cadbury world is great 😂😂
Wtf we never got that! Some schools are so lucky man.
I'm guessing Year 8 was in 2017 for you.
Year 8, apparently that is 7th grade in American. ok.
WERE THERE OOMPA LOOMPAS???
I'm Australian. Cadbury is bigger here, but I have tried both Cadbury and Hersey's. I prefer Cadbury as my day to day chocolate but Hersey's is still great in its own right. Because of Cadbury being bigger here, it's just simply easier and more affordable to get my hands on it so that's what I'm accustomed to.
8:57 - Creme Eggs are available year-round, they're just heavily marketed at Easter & Halloween (Screme Egg). The "Here today, goo tomorrow" suggests that they won't last long once you've bought it, 'cause you'll have eaten them.
Jordan Puddicombe Well explained. I think ‘goo’ also emphasises the creamy and gooey core it has.
there lucky to stay long enough in my car on way home from the store
Cadbury taste better. Anyway Cadbury has a market dominance in Asian countries like India, China, Hong Kong and Malaysia, and Oceania countries like Aussie and New Zealand. Hershey are generally considered to be cheap quality when compared to Cadbury in international market
Cheap? That's as American as it gets!
Cadbury is just as cheap and crappy as Hershey if not more so. High end chocolate it ain't. It's bascially sugar sweetened dirt.
True
Smurph Ftw- No one is saying Cadbury or Hershey are high end, but if the choice came between the two, Cadbury is better
When it comes down to ingredients Cadbury’s chocolate contains a lot more natural ingredients than Hershey’s which is more chemicals than natural ingredients giving Cadbury’s a richer taste
Since it is candy, the commercials are definitely in good *taste* .
Ooooooohhh, you must think you're so sweet huh? Well, I may be choco-late to this talk, but I'll egg you on for more.
Thanks.
Good one. Your puns are the CREME of the crop!
Mike Dillon You may think your pun was cad-buried in the chat, but I saw it.
Cadbury's best ad, hands down ruclips.net/video/TnzFRV1LwIo/видео.html
From the UK, some corrections:
1. Cream eggs are not exclusive items of Easter time, you can get them pretty much year round.
2. While they are nice, they are very, _very_ sweet, so they are probably more popular in American than here.
3. Flakes are nice and often put on ice-creams. Imagine a really tightly folded, yet crumbly pastry... now imagine that it's chocolate. That's a Flake. If you know what a Twix is, a Twirl is just the Twix equivalent using Flakes, but the Flakes are smothered in chocolate so they are easier to manage. A Wispa is basically a large Twirl bar but even less Flaky. Think half way bettween a Flake and an Aero bar.
4. Dairy Milk is the biggest because it can go with everything, while white chocolate is too sweet and dark chocolate is too rich. It's very easy to absentmindedly go through an entire bar of dairy milk, although of course that varies from person to person.
5. The adverts are amusing, but not as far as funny. We Brits love our morbid humour, and we seem to have less of the helicopter mum issue that you have in America. Another awesome advert we had here was Cats with Thumbs: ruclips.net/video/on9vqL4W6Hc/видео.html
John Smith jog on kittys
Wait to they get to double deckers...
"...No, it's not really like a milky way, wait, what's an american milky way again? Is it like a mars bar or not? Anyway, a double decker is _actually_ more like..."
Yeah :P I skipped trying to explain what a Double Decker is because it's so strange. Also, I have to be in a particular mood to have one.
I don't think many americans would be offended by the suicide eggs in those ads.
but we know that advertisements usually are very safe and inoffensive. and we just figure SOMEBODY will be offended by anything, so we get pangs of imaginary offense anytime we recognize the things that set off overly sensitive folks who write blog posts and organize protests.
John Smith -- the Creme eggs are only sold in the US around Easter. I think that's what 'Company Man' was referring to (not their worldwide availability).
im British and even growing up myself i always thought of the butler when i got a Cadbury chocolate bar.. so you are not alone haha!
I went to the UK 4 times in my life and I tried double decker.
And I will tell you right now, that was one of the greatest chocolates I have ever eaten.
If anyone is going to the UK here, try it. It is amazing.
what about Mercedes? it'd be interesting since Merc has so much story
Mazder_ They produce over priced unreliable junk for over hundreds of years. It's amazing people still buy em
Adam Smith ummmmm.. What? Mercedes makes great cars. Sure, the new ones have a lot of tech, which might break over the years, but older Mercedes' are absolute tanks. There could be a nuclear war, and those things would still be running.
Yeah but everyone already knows how big Mercedes is.
You mean Daimler
Or Bugatti or Ferrari.
When I moved to Canada from the US, I was introduced to a ton of Cadbury products, most (if not all) of which aren't readily available in the United States.
Here in India Cadbury is king, literally every store has Cadbury products especially Dairy Milk & 5star.
Canada has Hershey's and Cadbury. Cadbury is better by far, Hershey's just tastes cheap.
and my mother said canada's hershey's is better than ours by far
Im glad I don't eat chocolate
In NZ we have Cadbury and Whittaker's as our main two chocolate manufacturers and Cadbury is generally considered the worse of the two.
I've never had Hershey's but now I'm imagining that it's horrible budget stuff.
the hershey shakes you buy at niagra taste awesome though
RandumbCinema yeh when I had it, it reminded me of that taste you get from chocolate out of a advent calendar is the best way to explain it.
@@normalmighty I love Whittaker's but don't see it as 'better' than Cadbury, but it is different. Both are great.
I think the ad campaign is really funny , would have bought some if id seen it
As a Canadian, I can tell you that Cadbury is big here too. While we have Hershey, I don't know anyone who would buy one when Dairy Milk is available.
I'm American, and I do have a fondness for Hershey's. That said, I have two perspectives based on British and Swiss co-workers from my past.
The British folks didn't bring over chocolate to try, but they were surprised that the Cadbury creme eggs were only available around Easter in the U.S. They told me that the eggs were available year round in the U.K.
My one Swiss co-worker was super proud of her country's chocolates. Just to drive her point home, she bought us generic, low-budget Swiss chocolate and invited us to compare it. OMG that cheap chocolate was exquisite!
Someday I'll try a bar of Cadbury Dairy Milk. It'll probably be a more fair comparison to Hershey's than Swiss stuff. If that ever happens, expect a follow-up.
In regards to the bit about Cadbury's formula being different in the UK - I grew up eating European chocolate and when I first moved to America and started eating American chocolate, specifically Hershey's chocolate, I couldn't get over how much it tasted like literal vomit. I told this to all my American friends and none of them knew what I was talking about. A little internet research later, I found that a lot of American chocolates contain butyric acid, which is a compound also found in things like Parmesan cheese, as well as actual vomit. Anyway, ten years later and I guess I've gotten as used to it as my American friends and Hershey's just tastes like chocolate to me now. I'm curious if any American's felt anything similar when trying European chocolate for the first time. Did it maybe taste like something was missing or just off?
I'll let you know I'll be visiting a supermarket that I know carries real Cadbury Chocolate. But we also have a local Chocolatier that formulates its own chocolate and it much creamier than Hershey's.
I bought a cadbury bar when I went to the UK for the first time.
I would literally rather eat sawdust than waste my money on another one.
Honestly, as an American, when I first tried European Cadbury chocolate... I was hooked! It was SO MUCH BETTER than Hershey's, it kind of astounded me how we Americans have been getting the short end of the stick all our lives.
Nah. As much as I enjoy some Hershey's, I do prefer Lindt or Cadbury chocolate. Most hershey's things I eat are the almond bars, the reese cups and their cookies and creme, which are the more enjoyable kinds of hersheys. I live in Canada so we get a lot of Cadbury imports.
Having been to the UK, Their chocolate is so much better than the US
Nah, I'm American but British chocolate is far superior. Curly Wurlys are amazing
Eddie Truett and they are very cheap, like 20p in some places
Finally, a person of culture who draws attention to Curly Wurlys
Cadbury is really big here in India. Dairy Milk is one of the most popular chocolates in India if not the most popular.
As someone from England it's really hard to imagine a place where Cadbury is not a huge thing. It's THE chocolate company. We have Cadbury World!
Can you do a video on Microsoft, Nintendo, or Walmart? Great content btw, one of the best channels on RUclips IMO.
Kyle2000 fairly sure he already did Walmart
I said Microsoft, not Minecraft.
Kyle2000 LMFAO
What does IMO stand for?
IMO = In my opinion.
American chocolate --- and any other product made in America that is sweet -- tastes different than its European or Asian counterpart, because the U.S. Federal Government imposed a tariff on sugar way back in 1789, thus quadrupling the cost of sugar here in America. Meaning companies like Hershey's have to use "high fructose corn syrup" instead of real sugar when making their products, otherwise their products cost a bunch more.
Damn government can find a way to ruin *everything* there is!
LMacNeill Dairy Milk is nice but I think Hershey is horrible. It's so sugary and it seems to have no cocoa in it.
DrearyPlane8 I think it’s delicious, but it doesn’t seem much like real chocolate once you know what real cacao tastes like. I LOVE dark chocolate. 70%-80%+ cacao is good to me. Even 90%.
Hershey’s is disgusting
Ooooh! That explains so much! *I'm so sorry*
That must be why Hershey's chocolate tastes so bad. It literally tasted like barn smell and bad chocolate mixed together. Americans really need to try Cadbury and ditch the nasty Hershey's
G'day from Australia!
I was watching your video on Cadbury and was surprised that it isn't very popular in the U.S. In Australia, Cadbury is for sure the dominant chocolate brand, probably followed by Mars. In addition, I found your assumption about creme eggs were popular up until easter to be quite strange. In Australia, creme eggs are popular for alot of the year, in fact, I buy one at least once a week. Anyhow, I'll stop beating around the bush, your video caused me to think about how burger king is called well... burger king everywhere in the world except for Australia. In Australia, burger king is known as Hungry Jacks. Being an Australian I didn't even realize that Burger King and Hungry Jacks were the same thing until I got my first job there and saw the burger king logo attached to some of the kitchen equipment. Anyhow, I think it could make for an interesting video if you talked about the reasoning behind the name difference, the difference of the menu's (if any) and the differences between how successful Burger King/ Hungry Jacks is in each country.
Another interesting thing is the nickname aussies have for Macdonalds. I didn't even really consider it a nickname because I use it so often. That nickname is "Macca's". It has been so widely adopted by Australians as a nickname for Macdonalds that Macdonalds have done the following things.
1) Formally submitting the term "Macca's" for consideration in the dictionary
2) For a week or so around Australia Day in 2013, several stores changed their signage from MacDonalds to "Macca's"
3) They have changed many sections of their Australian webpage, switching instances where it would say MacDonalds, to instead say Macca's. They've also featured the term in a variety of promotional material. For example, they ran an advertising campaign focused around the term "Macca's Run". Just google Macca's run and you'll see the advertising campaign.
4) The term has been trademarked by Macdonalds, go onto McDonalds Australian website and you'll see proof.
A few interesting sidenotes on the whole Maccas thing which I found in an article by a UK newspaper titled "Macdonald's rebrand to Macca's in Australia" (Didn't link because some people are paranoid of links on the internet :S)
Surveys have showed 50 percent of Australians use the nickname, Macca's is second most recognized australianism behind "footy" at number one, Australia is the only country in the world that refers to Australia as Maccas.
I can't speak for the rest of the country, but Hungry Jacks and Macca's are by far the most popular fast food outlets near where I live (Canberra). I think it's cool that Australia has kind of made these American Brands their own, even if in the case of Hungry Jacks it wasn't intentional (as you'll find out if you research the reasoning behind name switch)
Even if this isn't made into a video, keep it up. Your videos never fail to interest me.
Wait wha? I'm from the USA, what is hungry Jack's?
@@cebapplejak5997 it the australian burger king, they have an interesting history with burger king's parent even suing hungry jack's , hungry jack's won the lawsuit and after merging with the later burger king franchisee set up by burger king's parent they still run in australia today.
@@anthonybradley1555 nice
It’s not popular in America because it’s owned by Hershey’s and Hershey’s is cheep and use their own chocolate recipe instead of the Cadbury’s recipe
The burgers are better at Hungry Jack's.
My Nana (grandmother) was British until she emigrated in the 50s. She introduced Cadbury Flake to my dad and all his siblings so he found a site called Jolly Grub where you can buy British foods internationally and he bought Flake for us and introduced me and my siblings to it. It is the best chocolate I have ever had. Go find some now and eat it!
Nintendo history. Playing cards, taxi, hotel, food service. And 100 years after it started video games
the 'hotel' wasn't a regular hotel, it was what is known as a 'love hotel' they're a big thing in Japan for couples
(google it)
LaughingSquid I heard love hotels are popular in costa Rica too. Women available if you're not a couple. Lol. We need love hotels in America. Especially now that Craigslist personals are gone. Lol
I'd be willing to bet that the big reason why Americans prefer Hershey-style chocolate and Brits prefer Cadbury-style is familiarity. Americans grow up eating Hershey's recipes, and expect chocolate to taste something like that; when it doesn't, it tastes "wrong". Cross the Pond and change companies, same story. Humans are picky like that.
True for America, but Cadbury's is objectively better chocolate. Hershey's tastes like cardboard. Rich milky chocolate is superior.
Jase M Yankie moron
Jonathan Baldie Do you know what “Objectively” mean?
Jonathan Baldie you proved his point tho
cookieface80 It's just his opinion, lighten up!
I am so glad you mentioned the old suicidal egg ads, I never saw them on TV but I discovered and watched them repeatedly on youtube back in the day in a channel called something along the lines of CremeEggGooTube.
Cadbury is huge in the UK and we love them!
As Austrian, i prefer Cadbury over all chocolate, which includes Hersheys and Milka. Cadbury although being milk chocolate, isn't super sweet, it's the perfect balance
Milka is one of the best honestly
They all are good
Milka and Cadbury plus Toberlarone are all owned by Mondolaze.
The Cadbury egg was always one of my Easter basket favorites growing up. I was already planning to give my niece one on Sunday even before this video came out.
Thx for doing a British video. This is awesome
Thanks Katak. I hope to make more.
@@companyman114 this is full of misinformation
Over here it’s massive, no store would be complete without one bar of Cadbury chocolate.
Also do a vid on nintendo plz? thx!
Tom atto Yeah!
Tom atto Genesys don’t what Ninten-do!
Nintendo doesn’t like any video about them unless it’s made by them tbh
Tom atto I agree
Kuro Kohi What do you mean?
Do a video on Nintendo!
I second this!
I third this!
Nintendo hates anything about them that’s not made by them.
Swift Axis No they don't.
W33AB00 He's referring to their stance on let's plays and reviews
Thank you for covering Cadbury, it means a lot to us on our little island
That advertising campaign was to get you to buy quickly on easter to avoid stock sitting on shelves which sells slowly outside easter
I am from the UK and I can confirm that every single chocolate item shown at 6:40 dominate pretty much everywhere, the least popular would probably be the timeout wafer. But every single one of the bars can be bought in a tesco express or gas/petrol station. :)
As a Brit in the US, I prefer British Dairy Milk and have it shipped from the UK rather than buy the offering at Walmart. I would cut off my right arm if they sold Whispa in the US!!!
ldkelland the US Cadbury is made by Hershey. I work at a grocery store (Safeway), where a big bar of Dairy Milk costs only $1-2. But I go to am Irish gift shop nearby for the imported real Dairy Milk and BV.
The only time I had a cadbury bar was about 6 years ago when I went to the UK, and I would literally rather eat sawdust before paying money for another.
I am a big Hershey's fan being from PA, but when I was in London I could not get enough of their chocolate.
Happy 200th Anniversary Cadbury, Happy 2 Centuries of amazing confectionery and delicious chocolate sweets!
I'm an American and I prefer British chocolate. Actually, I like European chocolate better in general. The problem with US chocolate is that they add paraffin wax or palm oil to it in order to increase the shelf life and raise the melting point. British chocolate will melt easier, but it also tastes better. I'm not one of those snobs who will only eat European chocolate, but when given the choice I'll take European chocolate.
The lower melting point is better because it melts in your mouth
The idea of chocolate that doesn't melt in your mouth is so weird to me. That's the defining characteristic of chocolate and US brands apparently just don't have it.
I'm from America and I like British chocolate more than American. I'm pretty sure they just use a crap ton in corn syrup in the US and in England they use sugar. Whenever my family goes to Europe we are always sure to stock up on chocolate.
I’m a brit and i love Cadbury’s Creme Eggs, Dairy Milk, Wisper, Twirl, Fudge, Chomp ..... it goes on and on :)
My wife was born in Scotland so we had to find Cadbury chocolate. It IS excellent chocolate. We used to cross the bridge into Canada and buy $150 worth of candy to hand out at Christmas. (Oh, the looks we received from the border attendants) but now we use the internet to buy from Briton and they send it to our front door. The top choices in our family are Flakes, Crunchie's, and Coffee Crisps. You have to try the Flakes.
Fellow Brits, we finally got some sort of recognition.
I know right in English by the way

Rexogamer Switch All I need to know about England is what I learned from the movie The Patriot starring Mel Gibson.
Yeehaw
ok
Honestly surprised you didn’t touch on the eggs getting smaller over the past decade. There’s no way you didn’t come across this in your research.
They can either drastically increase the price. Or make the portion smaller. It all comes to the rising cost of manufacturing products.
And since the average person is basically stupid (present company excepted!), they passively accept the fixed price / same size insult to their intelligence.
Or they just buy two, 'cause they aren't stupid
Or they stop buying it altogether 😮
If they increased price, people would lose their minds.
That leaves making it smaller, which makes people lose half their minds...
So they just lower the quality.
cadbury in australia too. chefs kiss. the best chocolate
I'm an American and I've tried both, the actual Cadbury sent by family in Europe. They taste great.
Considering Cadbury American due to their American owner is like considering Tim Hortons to be American due to being owned by Burger King.
well in my opinion they both are
So one could ?
Brazilian now.
Cadbury is not American, it may be owned by Mondolaze but it is still essentially a British Chocolate Company having it's main Factory and Head Office in Bournville in Birmingham UK, Cadbury can not trade or make Chocolate in the USA because of a ban by Hershey and the US Government.
Flake is iconic and it is what we put with our ice cream (they are also called flake 99's) and roses are not the most popular but it is like quality street. crunchie is very very popular and we love them, chomp and fudge are very similar and fudge is more popular, twirls are great and popular, the fry's bars are not popular mostly popular for old ppl, snack! are not very popular turkish delight is kinda popular but i LOVE them, timeout are popular but were a long time ago, i have never heard of bourneville and starbar, picnic im not sure on but my dad likes them, wispa's are good and are like bubbly chocolate, curly wurly's are one of the bests and a classic, boost's are nice but not really popular.
The cadbury ads are so good and my favourite one is of a gorilla and it has that song by phil collins and its very popular. every year they have a hunt for a white chocolate egg on the outside, but you need to keep the packaging. its called something like the hunt for creme eggs. i remember running to tesco's (a shop in europe and uk) and buying a bunch of creme eggs. they are a hit.
there you go mate :)

GoldSimmer tragedy flake 99’s now cost over a quid in most places. World’s gone mad.
YNWA
GoldSimmer As a Londoner, I agree with you.
GoldSimmer Bournville and starbars are pretty popular in Ireland
the 99 in flake 99’s literally represents the 99p it costs lamo
I'm american, born and bred. Visited England when I graduated high school. Their chocolate is amazing. It actually took years for me to be bale to eat Hershey's or any other mas produced chocolate afterwards (If I wanted something chocolate I would spring for Godiva or one of the other premium chocolates)
I'm American. Cadbury and Milka are my favorite brands.
Also 7:11 I've had Flake once in my life and it's all I've wanted ever since. I LOVED that chocolate.
Milca aka the red Nicaraguan soda?
@@j887276 Milka is a Swiss/German chocolate company, that like Cadbury is also owned by Mondelez in the US.
not sure you did justice mate, ive seen you dig deep into companies, didnt happen here. they operate on a large scale out of the UK too, well, at least here in South Africa, which admittedly is a former british colony, cadbury is i would say the largest chocolate manufacturer. otherwise this was an excellent as always video, keep it up mate.
Rameez Lalloo It's pretty big in Pakistan too, probably India as well. Also former colonies
Rameez Lalloo its big in India too.
Eating a creme egg right now ;)
The caramel eggs are better.
I could never eat a whole one, too damn sweet.
how it tastes?i only ate this hollow ones in my life.
Flake is nice, curly wurlys are popular to (I'm from Australia but we still have the same chocolates)
cadbury is also HUGE in australia, it's super common to give people a box of " cadbury favourites" as a gift.
When i eat Cadbury creme eggs I make out with it first
Ha. I wonder how many will get that.
That’s just a good rule of life. Don’t eat something unless you’re willing to make out with it first
Nice
How do you eat yours....
Some people fertilize Cadbury Cream Eggs before they eat them, mmmm double cream. 💦💦
The most popular are crunchie Twirl, Wispa, Flake, Fudge, Bournville, Curly Wurly and the Fry bars. I am from Uk so I LOVE Cadbury. It’s the most well known British chocolate brand.
ZD SKILLZ just cuz you’re from the UK, doesn’t mean you LOVE Cadburys
ZD SKILLZ I had wispa and I’m in the us and it was the best chocolate I have ever had
ZD SKILLZ never heard of fry bar and I live in London
Bournville and Fry bars is easily the least popular
Who the hell eats Bournville?! It's so bitter and tastes awful, dunno how anyone can eat dark chocolate
I took some Cadbury from ireland back home and loved it. When I saw the same bar here it didn’t taste the same. Now it makes sense
You missed out on WW2. Cadbury adapted it's recipe to add more milk due to the lack of cocoa beans able to get to the British mainland (due to German submarine blockades). Also, don't forget Cadbury's business model allocated houses (basically an entire town) to it's employees, which was and still is unprecedented in capitalist businesses.
Cadbury actually just shut down their chocolate factory here in New Zealand. Sad because it was a big, iconic brand and now it’s gone
Near Birmingham, where Cadbury bournville factories are, everyone gets mental at Easter. With creme eggs being thrown everywhere
I'm American, but the Cadbury Creme Egg is by far my favorite chocolate candy. Oh God, it's good. I'm so upset we can only get it around Easter!
As someone born and raised in the United Kingdom, Cadbury has always had a strong presence in my life; I even remember my older brother receiving a story book from our grandfather, that was centred around the adventures of the Cadbury's Easter Bunny written back from 1998; The Tale Of The Great Bunny: The Story of The Magical Underground World Of Chocolate, and although I don't remember what the actual story was about outside of its premise, I vividly recall being fascinated over the artwork both on and within the book. I've also visited Cadbury World a few times in my life so far, read a few books about the company's history back in Primary/ Middle School and tried out loads of their products throughout all my life.
Some of their products I would personally recommend for any new-comers to the brand are Bournville (classic dark chocolate), Picnic (fruit and nut), Flake, Crunchie, the Classic Dairy Milk, Wispa & Wispa Gold, Boost, Crème Egg & Screme Egg, any of their Hot Chocolate/ Hot Cocoa and finally the Cadbury X Oreo Peanut Butter or Mint crossover bars.
Also, Creme Eggs are available year round in the UK
Dylan Lewis-Creser they are? I’ve only really seen them at Easter and then the Halloween edition ones.
Lucky bastards
Alex Etherington They are on sale all across the year but around Easter it’s more heavily advertised but I don’t think Mini Eggs are around all year.
Weetos Man oh I never knew. Thanks!
Weetos Man mini eggs are too it’s just not as heavily advertised as well
Do a video about Nokia.
Johannes this is the top tip
My family is from the UK (I live in Canada) and my relatives bring chocolate from Scotland and England when they come visit. It is VERY different and personally I enjoy it a lot more. It's too hard to explain the difference but I think it has to do with the amount / type of sugar being used. It tends to have a less sweet taste but more full cocoa taste. In Canadian grocery stores, we sometimes have small UK sections (seeing we are still fall under the British Common wealth), and these UK Chocolate sections usually have special brands but they sometimes have the same brands but just the UK version. So for example, you can buy either version of the chocolate you might want. It's a very fond memory getting UK Chocolate instead of souvenirs. I forget some of the brands but I remember some were nearly identical versions but they just tasted a bit different. Some were brands I had never heard of. And some were similar brands but packaged totally differently as well.
I loved the here today goo tomorrow ads.
It's very clever too, advertising that it's a seasonal product to create urgency in the consumer. The goo is what differentiates them from other eggs too so it's a clever way to display that rather than just having people bite into them.
It's novel, therefore memorable.
Creme eggs, Dairy Milk, Mini Eggs and Fudge Bars are probably the most popular.
Nah crunchie, double decker, flake and twirl as well as others are far bigger than fudge.
Creme eggs are available all year round in the UK. Didnt realise they werent in America.
I'm from Australia, and cadbury chocolates are huge here. Crunchie, flakes and picnics are amazing, and curly wurly is pretty good too!
In the UK, most people agree that Hershey's chocolate tastes cheap like advent calendar chocolate. Also, the big ones are the Dairy Milk and the caramel-lly ones. Crunchies are the tastiest by far, it's like honeycomb covered in silky sweeter Hershey's chocolate
Happy 50th video!
Thank you for another great video 👍
I'm an American. I was raised on Hershey and loved it growing up. Then I tried Cadbury. I've never been able to go back. Hershey's bars are like plastic compared to Cadbury. I've tried both Cadbury in the US and went to the Cadbury factory in Birmingham, UK. I personally can't tell the difference. Flakes are amazing though and I think my personal favorite chocolate.
Every Easter the CVS pharmacy has a ton
Of these Cadbury eggs and at my local
Dollar store too they are usually 0.99 Cent
And they taste amazing.
I like them as much as herseys.
Both are sweet and taste pretty good.
Strange Fact: George Cadbury's descendent, *Ruth Margeret Cadbury*, is a current Member of Parliament for the Labour Party.
The reason British and American chocolate’s recipes are different to one another is not because they didn’t like the taste in America, it is because America has an (incredibly stupid) law that chocolate has to have a certain melting point, therefore Hershey had to alter the original recipe.
We have a law dictating the _melting point_ of chocolate? What in the fuck is the point of that?
Source?
No it's the tariff on sugar that the US government imposed a long time ago so companies in the US use high fructose corn syrup instead as its cheaper
Its probably due to climate differences, US chocolate has to stay solid in hotter states. Cadburys chocolate melts around 80f.
Australia has the same issue. There's something in the chocolate that allows it withstand the heat better compared to it's European counterparts. British Cadbury tastes the best. Tried Hershey's, 'twas horrible.
The most popular Cadbury bars in the uk is Twirl, Turkish Delight, Flake, Bournville, Dairy Milk, Buttons and The Cream Egg
And the tastiest is The Twirl
I'm American, but my mother grew up in postcolonial Zambia and loves all things British, so I grew up with Cadbury (and other English chocolates, like the Terry's Chocolate Orange). My mom sought out Dairy Milk varieties specifically (she particularly likes Fruit & Nut), especially when she could get the British formula from a British-goods store or "British" aisle at the supermarket. I find the taste of Hershey's chocolate a bit offputting, but whenever I give my friends who didn't have the weird Anglophile upbringing Cadbury chocolate, they seem to like it, and even prefer it to the stuff they grew up on.
Do a video on Blue Apron.
This is a good idea. Food subscription companies in general. I've heard there's been some controversy regarding how they treat their labor.
I can’t see them lasting. Terrible stock. CEO recently quit. Awful sales. Laid off staff. Competing against Amazon and Walmart. Environmentalists hate them. I can’t imagine they last, but it would make a good video.
LOL
Never heard of it
I think i have a really good perspective here. I'm Australian. Both Hershey and Cadbury are everywhere here. I like both because im a bit of a sweet tooth. Hershey is less sweet more cocoa-ish. Cadbury is sweeter but also more creamy. The Cadbury stuff tastes more like a dairy product than Hersheys
Also feel free to message me if i can help with any Australian stuff!
How big are each of the businesses there?
Cadbury would have at least 10 times the sales of Hershey in Australia surely, the dominant in our major supermarkets often tying up entire ends of supermarket isles with there displays.
Mike Dillon cadbury is huge, hersheys isnt massive here but you can get most of their stuff easily. Im in NSW, so it may vary state to state
GTREA i think you would be right there.
Thanks. That's interesting, here in Florida I hardly see any Cadbury eggs, even near Easter. Funny how different other parts of the world are from here.
I’m from Australia where Cadbury’s is big.
Having worked and lived in America the big thing I noticed was an “ off milk” taste with the Hershey’s brand.
I saw a documentary not long after about Hershey’s which said the same thing.
The Carmelo is literally the only candy bar I will pay money for, and I do so frequently.
Hello new best friend
The big ones are Twirl, Wispa, Fudge, Flake, Curly Wurly, Crunchie and most of the Dairy Milk stuff.
As an American, British chocolate is strictly superior.
Chocolate only. Brits are too prideful. After all, we kicked their butts in the revolutionary war.
Their chocolate sucks. I bought a cadbury bar the first time I went to the UK, and would literally (and have literally to prove the point) rather eat sawdust than put another in my mouth.
why are u guys so triggered about chocolate wtf lool
JakeSnake07 dude I've seen you say this on so many comments hah
I come from the Philippines & most of our chocolate comes from the US as America massively influenced our country after the 2nd world war. Having moved to the UK about 8 years ago and have almost had a taste of chocolate coming from other EU countries as well, I have to say there's nothing that can beat Cadbury when it comes to milk chocolate. I have to say it's better than all the American brands I've had so far
As someone from the US who's had imported Cadbury, Kinder, and Ritter Sport chocolates, I'd say that I'm a pretty big fan of European chocolate. This isn't to say that I don't like American chocolate (100 Grands, Take Fives, and Whatchamacallits are among my favorites), but I definitely wish European chocolate (not modified to suit American standards) was more readily available here just so I'd have more choices on the rare occasion that my sweet tooth acts up.
Kinder seems to be slowly expanding (Buenos are now available in local stores; hopefully Happy Hippos will follow) and Ritter Sports can be found occasionally, but there's really no sign of Cadbury save for Easter. I think they should seriously try their luck with Double Deckers; those are dangerously addictive.
Cadbury creme eggs are my favorite candy of all time!! I love them so so much! I stock up every Easter, but they only last a week or so after the holiday... I've seen a lot more cadbury chocolate lately. It's kept with the specialty chocolate. I didn't realize it was a different recipe. I wanna try the original recipe, because I honestly don't love Hershey's chocolate that much... despite living in the US my whole life. I want to know what British chocolate is like!
I’ve tried both chocolates and much prefer Cadbury, Hershey tastes so artificial and fake. But my favourite chocolate is Australian Cadbury it’s more creamier and not as sweet - don’t get me wrong it’s still really sweet just not as sweet as the others
I find it ironic as I consider the better tasting chocolate to be more processed, cause if you ever tasted raw cocoa I am of the opinion that Hershey would be closer then Cadbury in flavor.
As a viewer from the UK, this is a great video. You did Cadbury 's well.
Another interesting fact about Cadbury is in the 70's( ish) Cadbury made instant mashed potatoes called smash. Smash is still sold in the UK. But a diffrent company makes it.
