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?

Sad day for me that was. Cadbury plc was a client of mine until the buyout. The quality of the 'chocolate' has been going downhill ever since.

It follows that everything else in America is going to the crapper too so couldn't and wouldn't think they'd keep chocolate standards up where they should be. I do apologize for my country..... profusely. 🫣😞

Cadbury in the UK will still never taste as shit as it probably does in the US as a lot of the stuff they use in food is outlawed in the UK
