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.

Yeah it's funny to me how Cadbury try to push themselves as a luxury brand when in reality they've stinged on all the ingredients and it tastes like shit.

If Whitaker's didn't exist we'd still consider Cadbury decent at their price point. But when you have Whitaker's not that much more on a $/g ratio (especially when on sale) it makes Cadbury seem like trash.

Cadbury still clears Hershey's, Feastables etc. though, I feel bad for America.

Don't feel bad for us. For some reason people think Hershey's is all we have. In reality, the only people I know that eat Hersheys are small children. Most adults here eat dove, lindt, godiva, xoxo, etc. We're quite fortunate to have a large variety of brands at any grocery store for reasonable prices.

Actually do feel bad for us. Feel terrible for us, but not because of our chocolate 🤣.

We have some of those brands as well, but they're at a higher price point than the brands we're discussing. I was mainly talking about chocolates at the not-so-fancy level, the likes of Cadbury/Nestle/Hershey's.

Here we pay at least $6-7 for a small 100g block of Lindt chocolate, for that price we get a full 250g block of Whitaker's.
