So Cadbury’s are releasing special edition Dairy Milk wrappers for their 200th anniversary. I think they need to bring back these as well

  2. I used to love those when I was a kid! Although I’m sure they were a penny back then.

  4. Looking at those little purple foil-wrapped miniatures reminds me of how much better Dairy Milk used to *taste*.

    Buttons, Easter eggs, all of it. Not the same since Kraft took them over.

  5. Nice if the can fill them with proper chocolate as well!

  7. I hear they’re bringing out a new one that’s contactless only 

  8. These were the shit back in the day, I got them for Christmas and there was something so satisfying about unwrapping each one!

  9. I would absolutely buy one of these for nostalgia purposes. One of my most favourite Christmas presents. Simple but awesome

  10. With the rate of shrink-flation as it is, these will be able to hold full size bars soon!

  12. I do not have the self control to just enjoy this. 3 mins flat and it would be gone.

  13. I remember getting one for Christmas when I was a kid. I’m 33 now and haven’t thought about it since this post.

  14. I used to daydream about having one of these! Would always circle it in the Argos catalogue!

  16. Damn, just looking at this picture I can *taste* those little bars that child me used to eat all at once, then feel sick and be sad my vending machine was empty.

    God I miss how Dairy Milk used to taste. I’d honestly pay a premium for it if they started making it again alongside the inferior knock-off shite they pass off as the real thing nowadays.

  17. Frankly just bringing back dairy milk itself would be good enough.

  18. I’m convinced the Tube used to have Cadbury vending machines that looked like this.

  19. Avoid Cadbury’s until they stop selling chocolate flavoured sugary candle wax and bring back the old recipe for CDM.

  21. Release a special edition pre-Mondelez Dairy Milk you cowards

  22. Bring back the original recipe wine you’re at it, from before Kraft took it over and swapped half the ingredients for cheaper, slimy ones.

    I’m sure most Brits would be happy to pay a few pence more for the option to buy the original one instead of that half baked gross thing they pass as it now.

  23. I recently found the wrapper of one of these along with a wrapper of a Quality Street (green), in a box for Scrabble from the 80s. 

    I swear, you can still smell the chocolate if you deep sniff. 

  24. ashens reviewed this, spoiler: it is nowhere near as awesome a it looked in the argos catalogue.

  25. You know, you’d eat them all by the end of Christmas Day and then be stuck with the empty dispenser forever

  26. Awww I remember these 😍 My kids would love them now ! 

  28. I really liked the look of these when I was a child but my parents would never get me one. Looking back I realise they were a bit of a ripoff and they were right not to get it for me and just buy me normal chocolate occasionally.

  29. I thought of something else they can bring back too.

    The original damn recipe for their milk chocolate.

    It tastes nothing like it used to, and we all know it is because because palm oil replaced vegetable oil.

  30. Special edition wrappers? Who on earth is interested in that? Make a Golden ticket competition, a ‘win your weight in chocolate’ competition or special edition shapes (maybe blocks in the shape of a 200) and then you’ll have my interest.
