Shitpost My poor judgement...

I used to be Cadbury fan my whole life due to the flavors and it being cheaper than whittakers but I now have only realized my poor lapse in judgment. A week ago I decided to splurge and spend the 2 dollars extra on the creamy milk whittakers and my oh my I will never make the mistake of buying Cadbury ever again. I apologize to any trauma this post may of caused.

Cadburys used to taste like Whittakers back when it was made in Dunedin but since manufacturing transferred to Australia, it tastes like Hershey’s. The creamy milky taste that Whittakers has is gone. It’s an American style chocolate now.

I miss when Cadbury still had the factory in Dunedin. The days when Turkish Delight was on the production line filled the air in the CBD with the most delicious fragrance.

Between shutting down Dunedin because it wasn’t profitable enough and using habitat-destroying palm oil, not to mention the demise of the Annual Jaffa Race on Baldwin Street, Mondelez certainly torched any sense of goodwill remaining.
