I'm v. peeved with Cadbury. I came up with [what I thought was] a very good idea for a new product. It's basically Cadbury "Buttons" covered in hundreds and thousands [you know like the ones you get in "pick and mixes" but the chocolate isn't real chocolate and tastes foul? But made with Cadbury chocolate they would be heavenly] I thought they could launch these in milk and white chocolate and call them Cadbury "Rainbow" Buttons-inspired!!!.
But instead of even thanking me for the idea I just got a standard reply letter that they send to marketing students with a brochure telling me all about the company. Looks like they didn't even read my letter as I am not a student!
Right now my happiness hates Cadbury. And yeah those ads are terrible! V. patronising like we're all 3 years old or something.
Grrr......just had to get that off my chest

Yep, could have told you this. I have tied before.
Trouble is they are so far up their own arse with "focus" groups and marketing gurus! (sorry, Smurfboy)
Have they heard of LISTENING to their customers?

Oh yes, this sounds grand. And what about mint cinder toffee (green coloured) with lovely Cadbury's chocolate - in milk AND plain???

Cadburys did a mint Crunchie in the 70s that had a green mint flavoured honeycomb. It was only out for a little while and was nothing like the recent mint crunchie where only the chocolate was mint flavoured.
AND, about the same time, they released a mint flavoured Frys Turkish Delight with green coloured jelly stuff.
It must have been about 1972/3/4 - I remember buying them on the way to Girls Brigade!!

Green and Blacks bought out by Cadbury.
Ah well they were nice while they lasted.
