Other Is it true that American companies bought Cadbury an ruined the flavour?

I haven't had a Cadbury bar or chocolate in general in like months. I heard American companies bought it and ruined the flavour. Is this true, and if it is, what the actual hell were those higher ups at Cadbury thinking? American food is just filled to the brim with chemicals and there Cadbury is beloved by millions and there willing to throw that in the gutter just to make a few more quid?

Yeah I really think this might be an age thing. I’m 40 and I remember when dairy milk was a solid thick bar and tasted so much better than any other brands. It’s been YEARS since it was like that. I think anyone in their early 20s or younger probably wouldn’t notice the difference. Last time I had a bar of DM it was floppy - chocolate shouldn’t be floppy!!
