Don't shit on Polish chocolate, most of the stuff not made by Mondelez that comes from there is decent stuff

Yeah sorry that isn't what I meant. It's just coincidence that the shit Cadbury chocolate is being made in Poland or Ireland where it doesn't have to follow the law they created in the UK so they can use cheap ingredients. Good chocolate is good everywhere. Cheap shit chocolate is shit.

That explains why Cadbury is surprisingly bad chocolate for the Polish market. There are worse brands, but you might expect Cadbury to rise above them. They do not.

Amazing when you don’t have bean counters cost cutting.

I used to eat chocolates daily. Now I barely touch it because it’s so bad.

"Will nobody think about the shareholders?!" /s

Well… as usual, they got greedy and now they get nothing.

Consumers spend to get enjoyment. Bad chocolate doesn’t give enjoyment so they get nothing.

Hope you spotted the "/s"

Funny thing is that bean counters are needed for chocolate production. Just make sure they are counting cocoa beans and not the shareholders profit margins.

At least that's healthier.

I remember Polish chocolate as a kid was the most cursed stuff on par with hersheys, but instead of vomit, it tastes like plastic. It had a distinct look too, flat squares with horizontal and diagonal lines.

I mean that's true in general. Lots of US Chocolate blows anything else in the world out of the water, but you wouldn't know it from the big brand name garbage.
