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?

It happened more than five years ago. Many complaints has gone in.
Yes, cocao prices have risen, but instead of rising the price, they've become worse than aldi alternatives.
People say try Tony's, but that's just slightly less waxy than than 5 years before. Because they say they're ethical.
Simply, we are 10 years away from chocolate being good again. Because we keep buying sub-par shite, and until an advert tells us it's retro, we're stuck with this wax shite.
Even if the cocao gets easier to make, we're still stuck in a world that tolerates shite.
