I'm sorry but anyone buying any of these this this Christmas needs their heads checked.
Not only are we being fleeced but they taste like absolute shite.
Cadbury and Nestlé need boycotting until we get the traditional taste and value back.

  1. Greedy chocolate makers always have more than a few twix up their sleeves..

  3. We haven’t bought them in 2 years. They’re not missed. Bastards.

  4. Yup, they have actually taken a nosedive from how crap they were last year to even worse this year, first year I think I’ve not bought chocolate at all! 

  5. Don’t buy them. I refuse to eat them. Buy from small Irish chocolate factories.

  6. I just put a rake of these under the tree. Sad thing is, the Aldi chocolates have more cocoa and no palm oil in them but I’d feel bad gifting it!

  7. Palm oil tasting crap. Don’t spend your money on it

  8. Everybody saying they’re stinking definitely stuffs their face with them year whilst complaining

  10. I’ve the pallet of a 5 year old, im still horsing them down. I pissed at the price and size of the tubs.

  12. You can get a decent price for a product that isn’t chocolate anymore, or you can pay bank for a product that still has cocoa in it.

    Sadly due to cocoa prices (and some shameless profiteering), you’ll never get both back

    Its been a horrible two years for cocoa farmers due to droughts and floods, we will never see cocoa prices go back to pre covid levels.

  13. No matter the downvotes, At this stage I’m convinced there is astroturfing going on with these posts. Every year like clockwork it ramps up before Christmas.

  15. What ARE you buying? Bar WS they are all fine to me. Obviously Nestle (and probably the others) need boycotting for other, slave related, reasons

  16. The only thing they taste of is vegetable oil and sugar

  17. I think people are slowly copping on. This time last year my local shops were sold out of the tubs but this year the shops still have pallet loads
    I bought some handmade Carol Kinsella chocs instead.

  18. Lads, they’re cheap tubs of sweets for when you’re watching the telly over Christmas and they make convenient gifts for people you don’t need to put too much thought and expense into. 

  19. Give me all the bountys and then we can agree on the rest as muck.

  20. Controversial, but Cadbury’s is the second worst chocolate, first place goes to Hershey’s. Cadbury’s reduced their Cacao content and increased sugar content to make manufacturing cheaper. With Milka, Ritter, Lindt etc now being readily available in Ireland I don’t know how Cadbury’s still maintains any market share. European chocolate is leagues ahead.

  21. This is like if an AI mashed together all /r/Ireland posts into one. 

    1) moaning about pointless shit

    2) using the place as a blog 

    3) a mention of boycotting/protesting/rioting

  23. Cadbury, Nestlé and Mars (Celebrations are made by Mars).

  24. Still eating them, no problem at all. Eyeing them up now with a cup of tea later

  25. Mondelez should be banned. What they have done to Cadbury is obscene. Nestle standard has not dropped as much I don’t think, but both are nowhere near as good as they were.

  26. An r/Ireland boycott of anything isn’t going to make a damn difference. Yes the product is gone to shit but nothing is going to change

  27. I live in Canada were the chocolate is not great. You best believe I’m going through boxes of these when I’m home for Christmas next week.

  28. It’s all made with Palm oil,. Not only does that cause massive deforestation and destruction of habitats wiping out millions of animals (not hyperbole, think insects not just mammals) it also very directly damages Irish dairy producers. Do not buy this, save the orangutans and at the same time support local artisan Irish producers. Local made chocolate tastes a million times better than this shiiite

  29. Fact, the M&S ones are way nicer and are actually cheaper per kg
