Comments on: Food news of the day – Kraft buys up Cadbury http://elitistreview.com/2010/01/19/food-news-of-the-day-kraft-buys-up-cadbury/ The limits of pleasure are yet to be defined or reached  Thu, 17 May 2012 16:53:37 +0100 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Peter http://elitistreview.com/2010/01/19/food-news-of-the-day-kraft-buys-up-cadbury/comment-page-1/#comment-134 Peter Sat, 23 Jan 2010 06:49:23 +0000 /?p=281#comment-134 Some might dispute the criteria by which you judge a product to be "crap", Edward. As a business, as a marketing phenomenon (much of the angst about the takeover reflects the degree to which Cadbury's has come to be seen by many as a part of the British way of life, like the Queen's speech at Christmas), it has, from the marketer's perspective, been a tremendous product. Even David admits he quite likes it. Some might dispute the criteria by which you judge a product to be “crap”, Edward.

Cheap rubbish that can be produced as or more cheaply by anyone. People who fear the passing of the 'Cadbury's chocolate style' probably need their olfactory centres to be re-programmed with a blunt instrument. The only chocolate that I've had which is worse is that vile Hershey's filth, which includes paraffin as an ingredient (or at least it did last time I looked).

They flavour milk and sugar with some brown stuff. They are the British Leyland of confectionery. If you make a crap product then of course you will be bought out by someone who can make crap cheaper. The only way to survive is to make things that are good. Britain is too expensive to compete on price. Cadbury’s do not really make chocolate. They flavour milk and sugar with some brown stuff. They are the British Leyland of confectionery.
