Kids are spoiled these days. Chocolate and crisps were a proper treat back in the 70s. My best memory is when my dad occasionally brought me and my sister each a bottle of lemonade and a packet of crisps from the pub across the road. The Cambrian lemonade from pubs came in small brown bottles, and you felt all grown up because they resembled beer bottles with a pop off cap! As regards crisps, XL and Bensons brand were my favorite back then.
Cadburys roses named after the wrapping manufacturer in my home town of Gainsborough. Rose brothers made the machine that wrapped the original chocolates hence the name Roses
so many things taking me back there, the big tubs and tins of roses, the lorries, the wildlife bars and the cups that you used to get easter eggs in :( Take me back please
Feeling hungry now after watching that! I'd forgotten Roses chocolates came in jars as well. Those chocolate machines you could put 2p in, I remember them. Never had one, sadly. They used to sell those tiny Cadbury bars in Woolworths Pick & Mix section so you could refill the machine.
Nice tour. I had one of those chocolate toy vending money box machines for one Christmas as a child too.... Sadly the chocolate was gone very, very quickly.... and so was the money.
Wow, this really did take me back ! I remember the chocolate that easter eggs were made of seemed better than every day chocolate? Or is it just me ? 😂 must be my age ❤
I remember there were other chocolate collections in the 60s. Lucky Numbers, also in tins, Good News selection of chocolates and candies. For me, the death knell for British Choclolate started with Thorntons, who concentrated on Eoropean style truffles, bring back the variety please.😢
In the late 80s i remember a tin of roses or quality st being very expensive compared to now and it was a xmas only treat. They definetly dont taste the same too
They were expensive for the time, but not that expensive it was silly money. It was expensive in the way of a quality product, as it was. And the chocolate was superb, as it was real. And it smelled it when the tin was opened. And a huge tin like that was for a family of four, a Christmas treat and an event buy over the festive season like Turkey, Christmas puddings and Chocolate Oranges..These days its veg oil based drek in a tub, still expensive for what you get. Back in the day these big tins were about £10. Now the tubs are about £5 but you get about a tenth of what you used to in the tin....and they are inedible....one step away from glowing in the dark....
Ah Cadbury's I remember them when they were British and tasted so good, with proper thick chunks. Sadly these days it's puny little smoothed off chunks of chocolate that taste nothing like they did back in the day. R.I.P the real Cadburys.
I suspect many of us had one of those mini chocolate bar dispensers. I vaguely remember working out the cost of the miniature bars to be way more than the 2p.
I've been to Cadburyworld twice, the first time was when it was still pretty much a working factory and the second time I took my girlfriend we also visited Coalville and the coalport museum. It's now owned by Kraft under the Mondelez brand name who also happen to own Toblerone. Like the factory, Cadburys chocolate is not what it used to be
Another great video Stu. I also got a 2p vending machine for Christmas back in the day. I wonder what happened to the Flake girls and the kid that always tried to buy all of the Creme Eggs from his local shop. Great days, keep making the videos Ken
OH MY Those wonderful vending machines made my face ‘light up’ It’s so long ago but I remember seeing MILK TRAY and BLACK MAGIC first the more ‘refined’ family members I’m from Birmingham but have never been to Cadbury World 😀😀🤩🤩🏴🏴❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧☝️☝️
Unfortunately, like many others here, i think cadburys now taste's weird. I do remember the wildlife bars and there was a pocket money sized doctor who bar as well during the Tom Baker era. Personally i used to love getting a box of Neapolitans at Christmas from mum. However i think that was Terry's chocolate.
So sad watching this. Cadbury and the products they made when it was Cadbury, and not Kraft / American veg oil based junk. Back when a tin of Roses was sold in metric and you got a lot of chocolate that was real, good tasting chocolate. You would have to buy many plastic tubs of modern Roses to fill a tin like that and it would still not be a patch on what it was. We, like many others used to buy the tins of sweets for Christmas. Used to get Quality Street most years then one year my Mother decided to switch to Roses and we all loved them, they were so good. I avoid Cadbury like the plague now. I would not even pay to go into that museum on principle. It should never have been sold or allowed to be taken over. Same with Terrys of York, and Bournville etc, all gone. All owned be companies outside of England. All mass produced abroad...Cadbury used to make good choc bars. Those Wildlife bars were nice, really good as it was decent chocolate, and I also had one of those mini vending machines...I still have it in my loft. Weep for the loss of our chocolate heritage...
Cadburys here in New Zealand is now a hated product since they closed the factory in Dunedin that was here for over 150 years to move it to Australia New Zealanders have gone off the chocolate and by the local Whittakers instead.R.I.P Cadburys in New Zealand anyway.
I had one of the mini dairy milk machines when I was young.The only thing was my mam couldn’t find any refills to top it up.😢I also remember the tins of rose’s used to be full right to the top.Some used to fall out because it was so full.
If you haven’t been you should go to the Museum of Brands in Notting Hill. I went years ago when it was in Colville Mews but it has expanded since then and has moved to Lancaster Road, I keep meaning to go back at sometime to see what’s changed.
I still like the chocolate and some of it does taste good, but the tins of Quality Street and Roses are definitely not the same anymore - not tins to start with!! plastic tubs. Why is it all about money nowadays? there used to be quality and value there. I don’t eat much chocolate although I do like it, but I always leaned towards crisps, I never craved sugar, which is probably why my teeth have lasted this long, almost at the point of caving in, but 55 years old with no fillings in my teeth!! (yet). Although crisps are unhealthy, everything is.
Have not bought Cadbury's in many a year since the yank takeover ruined the taste,and boycotted when they shafted the Bourneville workers in the name of profit.Shame,as I used to love Crunchies,Buttons,creme eggs and Double deckers.

@ so why are they showing a lot of Cadbury chocolate when the Cadbury factory is or was here Bristol?!? The museum should be down here in Bristol not crappy Birmingham?!??
@@benconway9010 ... Cadburys chocolate has been made and based in Birmingham for 200 years, it is where it all started and where it remains today. Cadburys world also in Birmingham as it should be, why would they put it in Bristol? When Cadburys started in Birmingham and is still there after 200 years.
@ no it never started in Birmingham? It started here in Bristol it started with the fry’s factory in keynsham which then became Cadbury and was its main headquarters for Cadburys so stop trying to lie!
Cadbury coukd remake some of tgese legends, and go back to paper and foil wrappers and use old designs, instead of all that plastic wrap. I am not a fan of the 2024 Dairy Milk logo
Roses have gone down the pan...homogenised into inoffensive and non-challenging snowflake safe mediocrity. Where's the coffee creme, montelimar, black cherry creme, almond charm, bournville, brazil nut toffee...at least the Aussies get a mint chocolate and a Turkish Delight. Still at least they're nowhere near as bad as the horrific excuse for choccies that Nestle have turned Quality Street into.
Yes! That is so true. I remember the coffee creme, the little Bourneville chocolate bar and the montelimar! No taste and no imagination. Milk Tray? That's gone down the pan and tastes greasy. Nowadays, It's caramel, salted caramel or recycled caramel. So sick of caramel!
Yes, Quality street are now foil free and wrapped in "recyclable" paper. Not only have the sweets shrunk they are now put in gawdy pieces of dull paper. At least the green wrapped triangle is still in foil, saved I suspect from the dreaded paper wrapping by its shape.
Cadbury's used to be the best. Totally delicious. But now? Cadbury's chocolate has been, in my opinion, ruined. It tastes like sugary lard and, when you consider it has that revolting muck palm oil (cheap killer fat that boosts their profits whilst giving you heart disease) in it, plus a ton of sugar, that's no surprise. Just horrible. Won't buy it any more.
NO cadburys in our house again this christmas, it tastes like s**t, a horrible smell when you open the packet and a terrible after taste. Saying that, Wispa is still the same as it's always been as it is such a unique taste, the others, garbage
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Definitely noticed that the quality of Cadbury’s has changed in the past few years since Kraft and Now Mondalez have taken over.
caramac bar was a big favourite of mine way back.
Back in the days when chocolate was a treat. A Cadbury's selection box at Christmas and an Egg at Easter.
Great times.
When Cadburys was Real😊
Cadburys Animals in the cardboard boxes were the best biscuits ever.
Kids are spoiled these days. Chocolate and crisps were a proper treat back in the 70s.

American owned now doesn't taste the same especially freddo's.
Such is life🙄Thanks Stu.😁
On the Wildlife Bars I used to rub the foil into the chocolate below to create a perfect imprint of the animals
I had one of those chocolate machines as a kid. It said 1d on the front of it. One old penny!😊
Yes I had the same, in the Fab 60s
@@johnjo7778 me too, I would let someone put a penny in then take the chocolate back off them! 😂
Cadburys roses named after the wrapping manufacturer in my home town of Gainsborough. Rose brothers made the machine that wrapped the original chocolates hence the name Roses
On those wildlife bars I used to try and eat the chocolate around the animal on the bar, I don’t think I ever managed it before just eating it😂
I worked at Thorntons for 31 years and loved it this brought back some grand memories
The penny sweet machine , love that putting a penny in to get a bar
Oh yes the animal bars I remember them as a kid
Great memories indeed. I remember my Cadbury vending machine I had for xmas in the early 80s. I absolutely loved it until the chocolate ran out !
Yes, they soon ran out didn't they? 😄
These tins contained over 5lb of chocolate, them were the days😊
so many things taking me back there, the big tubs and tins of roses, the lorries, the wildlife bars and the cups that you used to get easter eggs in :( Take me back please
Me too!

Had one of those machines in the 80s
I remember " roses grow on you"

Glad you covered the red dairy milk vending machine. Remember my parents buying me one but refusing to pay the premium for the tiny refills.
There are two of them in my loft. Mine, from the early 1970's, and my brother's, from about 1978.
Wow, this really did take me back ! I remember the chocolate that easter eggs were made of seemed better than every day chocolate? Or is it just me ? 😂 must be my age ❤
I really miss those tins of roses etc,that was the best times,outstanding vid stu 🎉
When they were of a proper size! Thanks as always.

❤❤ love the video,brings back memories,loved the wildlife bars
Glad you enjoyed it! Many thanks.
Must be the Bourneville museum. Wicked. That was great!
Looks like a fun day out.
It is indeed.
My Grandparents lived in Northfield, a five minute train ride from Bournville, so we visited Cadbury world a few times.
It's getting to the stage when anything whatever of any value in Britain will be found only in museums.
Don't worry Terence, as long as we remember these great times, places and items in our hearts, they we never be forgotten.
Love & respect brother.

Thanks!
I think there was something wrong with the chocolates in those big tins. I recall eating half a tin one time and it made me quite ill.
😅
All the history and quality products, lost and pee up against the wall, it's very sad what has happened to Cadburys thanks to corporate greed.
i used to shovel down chocolate, was really addicted to it.
I suspect many of us had one of those mini chocolate bar dispensers. I vaguely remember working out the cost of the miniature bars to be way more than the 2p.
A glass and a half of palm oil in every half pound.
You forgot the horrible saccharine!, doesn't taste like chocolate anymore!
Sorry about the spelling!😊
@@stuartgoodall225 I know but doesn't it sound more sickening with the mis-spelling? It should be the new spelling for that disgusting stuff. 😅

Thanks a lot Ken.
Jars of Roses 😮 I'd forgotten all about them! I wonder how long it is since they were last about?
I live down the road from the Cadbury Factory and exhibition centre. I hope you stopped off at the shop!
Oh yes!
OH MY
Those wonderful vending machines made my face ‘light up’
It’s so long ago but I remember seeing MILK TRAY and BLACK MAGIC first the more ‘refined’ family members
I’m from Birmingham but have never been to Cadbury World
😀😀🤩🤩🏴🏴❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧☝️☝️
It's definitely worth a visit.
I had / have one of those chocolate cube mugs. Gave up using it, coz I kept dribbling. Kept forgetting to drink from the corner.
Londons brand and advertising museum is good for this stuff too [Screamed that they had a unopened bag of KP Outer spacers !]
Fantastic!

Before Kraft took over and ruined the brand and Americanised it to the detriment of the UK worker and consumer.

I remember getting a Mars red net stocking at Christmas , it had peanut Treats (M & Ms) and a Bounty
Anyone remember the rest? 🤔
I remember those stockings! There was probably a Skippy bar in it, like a caramel and biscuit concoction, covered in chocolate.
Marathon. Twix and Bounty
Maltesers, Milky Way.
@ ah yes now I remember! 🤗
heres one for you - why did Cadbury change the flavour of the Boost bar from a Coconut to one alsmost the same as a Star Bar?
Nomnomnomnomnom. ❤
I remember the Aztec bar in my school days, but can't remember what the taste was all about....?
Nougaa toffee chocolate😊
Cadbury hoped the Aztec would rival the Mars bar but unfortunately it didn't last long.
👍
😉👍🏴
Unfortunately it's ruined by takeover from aliens.
Exactly. And then they have the cheek to try and flog us all this 'heritage' bull. They're fooling no-one.
Definitely
@terencemeikle534 More sugar now and reduced products.
Aliens have landed, and the first thing they did was buy a chocolate brand?
