Yorkie: What was that unique taste

(1/4) > >>

Forth Bridges:
I have to ask what was change to remove that very nice unique taste to the yorkies?

oldspice:
Cost. It's as simple as that. Replace more expensive contents with cheaper ones but charge the same price.

GimmeTheSoddingChoc:
I remember when you could break your teeth on a Yorkie. If you put one in the fridge, it would last you a whole afternoon!

cleverdick:
I did actually write to Nestle a few years back to express my disgust.  Predictably, they denied having tampered with the original recipe.  Possibly a difference in the milk content and type of emulsifier.  (More research needed and preferably some insight from a Rowntree worker.)

As an aside, I remember that the old (green and white) Southend Pier trains had interior lights that were shaped just like a piece of Yorkie!  :P

I remember those old trains from my visits to Southend in the 1960s. As Londoners, we went to Southend at least twice during the summer - usually on a Sunday afternoon. It was about 1 hour away and Og1 the excitement when we saw the sea! remember Peter Pan's Playpark and the Kurzle too. Happy days!
