Title: Worst chocolate bar ever
Post by: smurfboy on October 22, 2004, 02:50:47 pm

Apologies if I'm re-visiting an old topic, I'm a new boy...


Just wondering what everyone thinks is, or was, the onion in the ointment when it comes to choc. On a personal level, I would rather stick a fork in my eye than eat a Bounty  but I know it's one of those love it or hate it products; the Marmite of chocolate, if you will. But can anyone remember a bar launched to universal distaste that died a swift death - or would anyone like to nominate one that should...?


On the same note, never try Cadbury's Tokke, available on the continent. If there was ever a reason not to join Europe, this is it! My mother bought me a 4 pack from Spain and I threw 3 away; for a choc lover like me that's rare...

I think it has to be those things called Aids, which were meant to be slimming chocolate, but which became strangely unpopular in about 1982.  For those too young, this is not a joke, it really was called Aids.  They tasted of soggy cardboard.

Another one I forgot - Flyte. Mars' attempt at a low fat chocolate bar. Low taste too! Does it still exist?

Fuse is pretty revolting and for me anything with praline.

I just remembered - Maverick was pretty disgusting.  Should have worked but somehow didn't.

Thank goodness there isn't a coffee flavoured Star bar or Snickers.

Toffee Crisp. Not sure if it ever tasted better than now, but now it tastes awful.

I agree, the chocolate is so cheap and horrible now. Used to be nice.

I had one of these Batman chocolate lollies from next to the til at Homebase last night.  I expected it to be dreadful, but it was really nice.  It's made by some tiny manufacturer I'd never heard of and can't remember... and now I've thrown the silver wrapping away.

Mars Delight is a horrible bar.
Title: Worst chocolate bar ever
Post by: one_serious_chocoholic on October 23, 2004, 10:43:11 pm

I probably stand alone on this one, but Crunchie bars.....hate them.


And Bournville.

Got to agree with aveit101 - the Mars Delight seems to be much maligned, but I love them.

If they did a Mars Midnight delight. WELL! I could possibly warm to it!

The worst bar is .............. Turkish delight
Title: Worst chocolate bar ever

Oh no, that's lovely! I'll give you the Mars Delight and I'll keep the Turkish Delight!
Title: Worst chocolate bar ever
Post by: one_serious_chocoholic on October 25, 2004, 02:51:28 pm

...Turkish Delight.


I'm coming to realise I don't like exciting or fancy chocolate tastes.


I like my chocolate simple and rich. Like my men!

Title: Worst chocolate bar ever
Post by: chocolate chick on October 25, 2004, 06:37:49 pm

Turkish Delight is nice but in little doses.


I don't like Aero anymore.

Had a Bobby's Turkish Delight bar the other day.  Not even chocolate, but a chocolate flavoured coating.  The TD was quite authentic though, but the 'chocolate' was awful.

*quiet whisper* Dime. Don't like 'em.

I like Dime bars.

I've never had a Dime bar
Title: Worst chocolate bar ever

They are very nice but go careful if you get one as they can be dangerous on your teeth.
Title: Worst chocolate bar ever
Post by: kevvosa on October 31, 2004, 04:05:27 pm
Had Dime when I was very young. Far too hard and not very pleasant. 
Title: Worst chocolate bar ever
Post by: on October 31, 2004, 05:31:07 pm
I think the Dime Bar's Brtittlity or is it brittleness? is part of its appeal.

I like them.

Post by: calcoholic on October 31, 2004, 06:31:40 pm

worst choc bar ever = bounty
most boring = crunchie
best = turkish delight
best chocolate of any kind = leonidas or jaffa cakes


what's the point in crunchies? they're just a bit of chocolate with some gold 'stuff' that tastes awful. i forget what the 'stuff' is called, and it's ncie in small doses, but not making up 75% of the bar...

Title: Worst chocolate bar ever
Post by: kevvosa on October 31, 2004, 06:35:59 pm
It's called Honeycomb. I used to like em but after scoffing far too
many Crunchie Nuggets and feeling sick, I havent touched them since
(apart from a Crunchie McFlurry, but that doesnt count).

to this day i have never had a crunchie mcflurry! i just dont see the need, because i hate crunchies anyway, and smarties/dairy milk are so nice

Title: Worst chocolate bar ever
Post by: kevvosa on November 01, 2004, 06:44:06 pm
I wanted a change from those though. My favourites so far were the Rolo
and Toffee Crisp McFlurry's...a shame they were limited.



Did they ever do a Bounty McFlurry?

I can't think of one UK choccie bar I really hate...but if you wanna try some minging chocolate, go onto cybercandy and order some U.S 'chocolate' bars.


Hersheys...minging butterfinger..like fibre glass wrapped in chocolate and the worst ever...a watchimacallit...tasted like chicken and corn

Butterfingers are horrible.
Title: Worst chocolate bar ever
Post by: sillyyank03 on November 02, 2004, 10:35:16 am
I don't mind Butterfingers in small doses (as in just a bite or tiny fun-size one), but eating one of those mammoth bars is tedious. That's one bar I don't miss!

Post by: on November 02, 2004, 08:32:49 pm
Yes Oldspice, I totally agree. I don't tend to buy them that often, but when I do, I wonder why I don't more often!
Title: Worst chocolate bar ever

I always have crunchies in the cupboard. I love them with a hot cup of tea.

There've been quite a lot of 'six for the price of four' offers on them recently too - I think it was Somerfield.

Had Lindt Crunchy Caramel the other day...and its to die for. It has a really nice flavour to it. I was very impressed.


As for yuck...had Lindt 85% Cocoa Solids. It was vile. Like eating a spoonful of cocoa powder.

Title: Worst chocolate bar ever
Post by: goldencup on November 08, 2004, 11:09:35 am
I just remembered something worse - 'Marching Chocolate".  That really does taste like neat cocoa powder.  The last time I saw it was in Norfolk about three years ago but it may have disappeared.  I think it's supposed to be the stuff that kept the army going in the 1st or 2nd world wars (towards another sweet shop hopefully!).
