Tubby Beaver 209 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 yeah Cadbury's is good, but I don't like the imports you get here from Oz or New Zealand, kinda bland Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Is that a different brand, I presume? Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Same company, different balance/level of ingredients. Australians are weird you see BoC. Take marmite for example. Awesome in the first place, and they pretty much replace it with crap and labelled it vegemite. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Really? Same brand? Which one? Dairy Milk? I understand marmite / vegemite - they are serparate brands. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Same brand. same products. Daily milk, or with nuts, or fruit and nut. All the Australian versions taste weird. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 That's really interesting. I wonder why. And why it is not a different brand. I suppose some Aussies might find the "proper" Dairy Milk taste strange..... Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Chocolate sucks. Does not belong in this thread. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Its because of the legal definitions of what constitutes "Milk" Chocolate in each country. I can't remember exactly what it is, whether its that the UK one has too much or too little actual milk products/solids to be labelled milk chocolate by international standards, but its definitely to do with the level of actual milk products used to make the chocolate Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Sorry Cold Weather Dudes, It has more to do with what stuff is going to melt here in transit from the lightly refrigerated truck to the air conditioned shopping center. You see in Aus it is hot - a lot of the time. Swiss Chocolate doesn't last all that long if not kept nice and cool because it has a pretty low melting point. Cadbury have simply made the chocolate bars here have a slightly higher melting point so that the local deli can sell them to Freddy from down the street who can get it home on the back of his bike for the family to enjoy without it dripping out the side of the packet.

RobBright 35 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Well it's proven then, chocolate is better from countries where it's colder. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Yes. Yes it is. You can still buy low melt chocolate here - Lindt, John Walker Chocolatier, Chokeby Road...so many others. But it is more expensive and ...well...it melts quick if you are not careful - so it is not as shelf stable as the chocolate of the masses Cadbury. Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Look at the ingredients on the pack. Does cacao come first? If you see sugar, then that´s what you are getting. Sugar with cacao flavour. Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Don't matter whats on the packet, it's what it tastes like that counts. Interesting that Mamabear. Would still think it would be a different "brand" if it is a different product though. Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Some people obviously can´t taste the difference between candy bars and chocolate. Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting that Mamabear. Would still think it would be a different "brand" if it is a different product though. Same here - but then if it contains the same ingredients but in different quantities, surely it's still the same brand though? Link to post Share on other sites
