“sugar flavoured vegetable fat that used to be chocolate”
Reddit found Cadbury Bournville quietly swapped cocoa butter for palm oil in 2025, literally rewriting the ingredients list while nobody was looking. YouTube has people saying their childhood favourite now tastes like 'sugar flavoured vegetable fat' and multiple comments about buying king-size bars that taste completely different. someone on Reddit called Easter eggs 'basically sugar flavoured vegetable fat at this stage' which is harsh but seems to be the general consensus. the people still defending it are mostly talking about discontinued bars they miss, which tells you everything.

“Since the buyout all Cadbury products are lower quality and don't taste as good so I don't buy them now.”
