ZeromiserY Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Lindt chocolate utterly wipes Cadbury's. There's also this dark chocolate you can get that is filled with a thin layer of raspberry, can't remember what it's called though. Cote d'Noire or something possibly? Anyway, I think it's amazing.anyone tried the chilli chocolate? no idea who makes it but you can get it in the republic of tesco. do they have their own flag yet?

It was bizarre, each taste came to you individually and it burned a little. Really, really nice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Stu Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 While I'll agree that Cadbury is part of British tradition it is more of a multinational corporation in its current guise. They (it?) employ over 70,000 staff worldwide with only 3,000 of those in the UK. It's also publicly owned so it's not really up to anyone but the stockholders and potential investors/buyers to say what the value of the company is. There's nothing to suggest that current ownership is British given that cadbury plc is listed on the NYSE as well as the LSE.I don't like it but that's how it is.Yeah, that's it. Nothing is really 'ours' these days. The moment a company floats it belongs to the shareholders and is run primarily in their interest. Is it right? Is it wrong? It is what it is. I don't understand how people can get wound up about it. Our football teams, airports, energy companies, supermarkets, banks and the like are all similarly not ours.But chocolate is different, apparently. And dey tuk ur jurb, most likely!

Woodsinho Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Northern Rock is 'ours' and I'd like to think that I helped make that a reality during my tenure there. You're welcome, Britain!As for chocolate - I like crunchie bars. They are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Through this difficult time weve been heartened by the support we have received from people all over the world, and would like to thank everyone for their efforts. While Cadburys future seems likely to be in Krafts hands, we have no reason to fear for the future taste or quality of the brands our consumers have come to love.

Alkaline Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Did I hear they're shutting down one factory already?Yes, and apparently moving production from that factory to Poland. I do however believe that was on the cards long before the takeover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Stu Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Yes, and apparently moving production from that factory to Poland. I do however believe that was on the cards long before the takeover.I see. I did expect more outrage (I mean in addition to The Guardian readership's usual level) about this so that makes sense.Probably full of Poles anyway, that factory.

Le Stu Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 99% cacao chocolate is quite unlike the Murphys.It's quite amusing how this thread drifts so easily off the subject of yummy corporate takeovers and onto the more serious matter of chocolate.
