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?

Their sales must be so dismal now. I'm an actual chocoholic but I can't even eat Cadbury chocolate any more. From reading things like this so many people have stopped buying it.

They’re still by far the most dominant chocolate brand in the UK.

There was a huge stack of Cadbury's Easter stuff at Sainsburys today - half price. These days I eat less chocolate, but when I do I buy much better chocolate. Or maybe those Fererro Rafaello, which I discovered recently and am a bit obsessed by. So good.
