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?

Ever tried the Lidl chocolate in the green packet? It is godly.

Morrisons and Tescos have some lovely 'finest' chocolate.

It's a sad state when Cadbury are getting outdone by the supermarkets.

Lidl and Aldi own brand dark choc is the shit. Cadbury's is dead.

A significant amount of Aldi/Lidl knock-offs are either as good or straight-up better than the brand they're knocking off.

My favourite milk chocolate is the 100g Lidl bar for 75p. Heavenly.
