Cadbury dairy milk has been far too sweet since mondelez bought them

[@robertbeining141]

Absolutely!! Couldn't agree more!

[@pamelawing626]

I don't like Cadbury at all. Also, I went to the M&M store and bought a bunch and and the chocolate is just not the same as here in the US and I threw them out. Just horrible to me. It's really what you are used to. I got some Belgian chocolate at Harrods and it was gross too. I'm just too picky I guess. We have Mrs. Sees here in the US and that's the candy I get when I get it. So good.

[@dublinjazz1]

If the Cadbury's chocolate that you tested was the junk that's made by Hershey's, under license, here in the US then I absolutely agree with you. Try the stuff imported from Ireland, and you'll have a very different experience.

[@helenferullo5706]

So true. Hershey’s Cadbury is terrible. English and Irish Cadbury’s are superior. I buy them in Irish/stores that sell Cadbury’s. Love Cadbury’s.

[@sparrowhawk2860]

Came to say the same, there is NO WAY the Cadbury they tried was the Cadbury from Ireland/England. Because as stated the Hershey made Cadbury's is crap. Also, have to say how disappointed I am that they called Cadbury "waxy" and made ZERO mention of how waxy Hershey is along with it's chemical aftertaste.... Hell, I live in PA and Hershey is no where near my favorite chocolate.

[@sudokuacrobatics]

That's just us cadbury

Nowhere else is there a worse cadbury sold

As an American, how can you say Hershey chocolate is good? It literally taste like chemicals. It is one of the worse chocolate bars one could buy. Nostalgia sure but it's not a good chocolate bar periodt.

[@aliwantizu]

I mean, how can Lindt not be first, right...it was pretty much a given. While Lindt correctly finished first, I did take some minor issues with the rest of the list. While Reese's is made by Hershey's they should be ranked separately as their chocolate does taste better than plain Hershey's. Russell Stover is not bad, it depends on what the item is. Yes, I am aware they own Whitman's. I would rank this way (worst to best) Hershey's, American Cadbury, Milka, Nestle, Russell Stover, M&M Mars, Reese's, Whitman's, Milka, European Cadbury, Dove, Godiva, Ferrero Rocher, Ghirardelli, Lindt. Oh and: Dark>Milk>Gold>Ruby>White. Dark rules, white drools.

[@vanessapagan9526]

Maybe the countdown was from worst to best. I haven’t seen a countdown where they reveal the winner or the best at the very beginning.

[@jamez2fly92]

It's funny you like R stover and Whitmans because lindt bought them out in 2014. Not much is better than lindt lindor truffles esp the white chocolate ones🤤🤣

[@edwardportell4955]

Was the Cadbury chocolate US or UK sourced....there's a huge difference. The US version is crap compared to the UK chocolate

[@alpha34098]

Mashed is US-based food channel so it is obvious which ones they're speaking off

[@MH-be6hr]

Interesting!

[@arfriedman4577]

As a usa child, I thought Hershey bars were delicious. Then I tasted chocolate from other brands and countries. I liked them better. I still have a Hershey bar every so often. One of my favorites is the Belgian box from Duane Reade of seahorse and sea shells.

Cadbury, just like all indigenous British food tastes like crap and is as low quality and unhealthy as it comes. The British conquered the spice world but never could think how it could improve their food.

[@d4nt3_023]

Don’t do Cadbury like that. They’re supreme

[@alpha34098]

The problem is that Cadbury in the US have such low quality that's justifiable why their ranking is the last, Not just with Mashed (which is a US-centered food channell) but many Americans as well. But if you go to the UK or Europe (or buy imported chocolates), is a completely different rooster that is singing (not just with Cadbury but wit other chocolate brands in the list such as the Nestle ones (speciallly after Nestle sold its US Chocolate division to Ferrero))

That bad Cadbury was probably licensed by Hershey. Real british Cadbury is good. I also don't understand why Hershey's isn't the worst on the list. The texture is far less smooth than Cadbury, and it has a strange aftertaste almost reminiscent of puke. This channel is definitely very americanocentric.
