    Maybe they withdrew all the nuts because of all the health scares?
    You don't get medals for sitting in the trenches.
  • The Green and Black's (now owned by Cadburys) bars are full of nuts - especially the mixed nuts one (below) - very yummy too, but a bit ££££££. On special offer quite often though, eg at Waitrose at the moment. The dark almond is good too.

    not going to commit suicide but when your buying a piece of meat with chicken inside, youd be quite fumed if you saw 1 out of 6 had half a piece of chicken.
    Save saynoto0870.com in your favorites, and stop giving companies more £££ dialling 0870 numbers when you can dial freephones or cheaper alternatives
    call your credit card company, tell them that you want to leave, 99% of the time theyll lower your APR%

    You HAVE got to try Aldi's Hazelnut Heaven chocolate. That's exactly what it is and fantastic, nothing nasty or cheap about it at all. I always have a bar on the go in the fridge. It is FULL of nuts. You should send one to Cadburys at the same time of your complaint so they have something to compare with when it is described as Whole Nut.

  • At least you did not find an unexpected 'extra' ingredient in your wholenut bar, like this chap in Germany:

    <FRANKFURT, Feb 7 (Reuters Life!) - A man in Germany was put off his Italian chocolate treat when he noticed that a bump in the bar was not a nut but part of a human finger.

    "He found a fingertip, complete with fingernail, right in the middle of the bar," said a police spokesman in the town of Mainz, close to Frankfurt.

    "I suppose it went unnoticed because there were nuts in the chocolate and it was hard to tell the difference," the police spokesman said, adding the fingertip was being examined by forensic experts. >

    Cadburys will be annoyed that they are not putting as many nuts in as you would like.......the reason is that nuts are cheaper than chocolcate and so they are losing money.

    All (well lots of it anyway) confectionery is formulated to give cheap bulking agents instead of the expensive ingredients

    eg
    Kit Kat - wafer
    Aero - air!!!
    Wispa - CO2??
    Twix - biscuit
    Crunchie - cinder toffee
    Polo - a hole!!!!!!
    Lion Bar - special K
    Toffee Crisp - rice crispies
    Milky Way - fluffy stuff

    So you see that want to give you nuts as it's cheaper!
