Ooo, I can’t wait to try the SA Cadburys!!! My brother and I are planning a trip there in 2010.

Hi Diana, I guess for me SA Cadburys is more creamy and well, chocolaty, whereas the UK version is a watery super sweet and doesn’t make you want to savour it. SA Cadburys is a melt in your mouth milky kind of experience.

Aalize, so the SA Cadbury’s is actually better than the UK? What about it doesn’t hit the spot for you? Here, the Cadbury US chocolate is less creamy/more chalky than the bars I can get in England (or even Canada). Although thanks to globalization, there are quite a few places around Boston where I can get a genuine UK Dairy Milk fruit & nut bar.

Hi there, I hail from South Africa but have been living in the UK for about 3 months now. My absolute favourite chocolate when living in SA was Cadbury’s, consuming at least 200g of the stuff a week. In England however it tastes totally different. It’s so odd. The packaging is the same. The label is the same, and yet it just doesn’t hit the spot like it used to. Very dissapointing. Same goes for Smarties. Yuk. My kids are very confused by this – ha ha. Fortunately I have rediscovered Lindt chocolate while in the UK… heaven.
