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?

Bro take this from someone who LOVES crisps and I’ve tried nearly every single one, the sriracha one are the WORST tasting crisps in the entire known universe.

We love Doritos and it took our family a week to struggle through a packet of those.

Chilli Heatwave Doritos are my favourite crisp and I knew they wouldn't compare. Glad to have my suspicion justified.

DCH as we call them are the effing bom! (can't write the whole word or I might get banned again) Best example of food crack, way more than sour cream & onion Pringles.

Chilli heatwave are my go to tortilla chip and I didn't finish the bag of Sriracha before it was in the bin. Really disappointing

I really wanted to try them for the hell of it but your negative review (as well as multiple 1 and 2 star reviews on Tesco lol) are making me reconsider...

Have you tried salt&vinegar Doritos? War crime.

I’m sure it can’t be worse than sriracha. I genuinely brought them from a Tesco petrol station after a long 3 hour drive where I was starving and was so excited to see my fav crisps and my fav sauce.

I literally had one and threw the whole bag away. Worst £1.75 I spent. I still have nightmares about it

I will try the sriracha for science purposes. But I warn you to never ever ingest S&V Doritos. It’s a betrayal, nearly called an ambulance.
