    Unhappy Goodnight sweet Cadbury in the US, aka Brits make fun of our chocolate: the thread

    After a Deal, British Chocolates Won’t Cross the Pond

    Don't worry, the Cadbury eggs and things like that which are made in the US aren't going anywhere. But British-made Cadbury goodness? Nope. Banned.

    I guess Mister Adequate won't be moving here anymore after all

    Edit:

    Gail Maddick, who moved to Forest Hills, Queens, from Scotland last year, agreed, and suggested British expatriates take their grievances right to the top.

    “What would Her Majesty think about all this?”

    Hershey's is smurfing pig swill, Cadbury is chocolate heaven.

    In Britain they started using American chocolate shells to make Creme Eggs with this year and there's been uproar. And it's justified! As a Creme Egg expert, I can immediately tell the difference. It's crackly and crunchy and when you bite a Creme Egg now jagged edges go for your gums. British made chocolate is much softer and works better for Creme Eggs.

    I used to be a huge fan of Cadbury's milk chocolate but my palette is refining, craving something more intense. Lately, I find I'm a connoisseur of dark chocolate. The higher the cocoa count, the better. Currently I'm nibbling my way through a bar of 72% cocoa Belgian dark, it's good but lacks something like sea salt to set it off entirely (good god people I demand you try the Lindt bar of dark chocolate with sea salt!)

    That being said, the king of all chocolates is Dairy Milk with Daim. Oh god this sweet terror of my dreams is heavenly, I could eat a kilo of it and not feel sick. Well maybe I would feel very sick, but it would be totally god damn worth every second of gut wrenching agony. If given the choice between Olivia Wilde (Thirteen in House. Also known as the epitome of Steve's taste in women!) professing her eternal undying love for me and her hand in marriage, or a lifetime's supply of Cabury's Dairy Milk with Daim I would be seriously challenged to pick Olivia Wilde. In fact, without that being a legit offer I could only ever call it 50/50 on which way that would go.

    My mum's a lovely woman with many interesting and attractive qualities, you wouldn't be the first to gaze at her from afar.

    I don't know who or what "Lembik" is.

    Sorry, typo'd was laughing too hard at the thought of him caressing your flowing locks and calling you a cheeky girl... Tell us Hux has he ever asked you to touch his bum?

    Bit classless to make references or comments like that when you know his brother, my dad, really did molest me, but okay.

    Now that we've insulted each other's families let's get back to the important pursuit of trashing the evil that is Hershey's. Thank you.

    I genuinely do dislike Hershey's quite a lot and I have never understood how and why Americans think it's good. Nevermind fancy troute, our meanest own brands are still better than that. There are plenty of good candy bars over there, but I reckon if you want a block of milk chocolate, you may be out of luck.
