Have you noticed the big changes on the T confectionary counters? Some of the best chocolate has been taken off and replaced by rubbish MILKA made by kraft. It wasn`t long before T and kraft got got together. Have a good look at the changes. Kraft also owns suchard which took over tobler.

American rubbish

    hopefully we will all vote with our feet and buy our cadburys elsewhere - avoiding Kraft products like the plague.

    Cadbury's bought out Green & Blacks so I guess that means Kraft owns them now, which is not good either. Sainsbury's own brand chocolate is nice.

    I'm confused, surely all Cadburys products are now Kraft products, didn't they buy them out? I only buy cadburys if it's on a good offer, much prefer Galaxy or if I'm really treating myself, Lindt. Lindt lindor are my favourites, particularly the eggs as you get more of the inside loveliness.

    Excellent news. I love Milka chocolate. It is actually not American chocolate but a Swiss brand. The Swiss know how to make chocolate! Yummy!

    I much prefer Milka to Cadbury's I guess it's just a matter of personal choice. :D

    Yep, as they can't make chocolate to save their lives. Can't stand their Hershey rubbish.

    The own brand Swiss 85% dark chocolate from Mr T's is actually very nice. 99p per 100g, I believe.
