So much better than the boring ones we have now they are but at the same time i can see what we have now in terms of production and then also brand identity and things like that there's about 16 different cadburys products there and several different sizes, colours, fonts, even logos you can see why they do what they do today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved them as a kid and I could never remember the name. Yep. 'Treets melt in your mouth, not in your hand' was the slightly odd marketing slogan.

The same slogan was used for M&Ms (in the US) in the 1950s, Treets in the 1960s and Minstrels in the 1980s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted August 31, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 31, 2023 I do not know what Nestlé are messing about at but Kit Kat has turned nasty. Chocolate is messed up, wafer not got the right crispness. It's totally ruined. Why do they do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas?” ”Could M&Ms get here in time?” ”No we need someone here right now. Frankly we’d take anyone.” <knock at the door> ”Hi guys, sorry to interrupt, just wanted to say a quick hello to you guys in the chocolate department. No reason why we shouldn’t all hang about more.” ”No, not at all Opal Fruits. Come on in, have a seat. There’s something you could help us with as it goes…” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted November 10, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted November 10, 2023 Anyone reckon it's one of those stunts where they stop them then bring them back in a few months (probably after overhaul of the production line) to great fanfare?

mjmooney Posted November 10, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted November 10, 2023 My dislike of Caramac goes back to childhood. I once ate one and shortly afterwards threw up. Probably caused by a stomach bug and not the bar, but it made no difference, it resulted in a bad association with the taste, and a lasting aversion. The sight/smell of it still makes me queasy.

In their case the throwing up most definitely was linked to the consumption of said drink. Me? I'm fine with it as I'll just drink beer as I did that night as I'm not a **** idiot.
