CADBURYS: AN AMERICAN'S GUIDE TO A BRITISH AND IRISH INSTITIUTION PART 2: OTHER BARS A-P

HEY GUYS due to the size of the notes I compiled recently I'm extending the theme month by 1 week and spliting the a-z into to parts!

So here we go!

Astros
From south africa, comes the take that to m&ms crispy, arrived on our shores for all of 1999. but still made in its home country. its is the only non confection that came in a box.

Boost/star bar/moro
The bar known as moro only in ireland, boost can be best be described as mars mixed with Twix. Later they added snickers to the rip-off recipe, and called it Star bar while every other country called it boost peanut. in 2000 boost guarana simply known as boost in ireland added the heart-stopping ingredient to the nougat.

Buttons
Possibly the first piece of chocolate you ever had. round chocolate pieces. in the 80s the sweets were marketed to young childern with a nursery rhyme scene on the pack with the rhyme on the back of the pack. Comes in milk and white. Can kill small dogs if feed to them.

Caramel
Rebranded recently as Dairy milk caramel, Caramel is the only bar apart from Dairy milk and Twirl to be sold in all of cadburys teritories. Caramel is so popular that at some time any other bar will have caramel in it or a caramel flavour. its Popularity can be attributed to this ad:

Many people speculated who the voice of the cadbury bunny was i can tell you it was the actress Miriam Margoyles.
Thats right Nursey from Blackadder 2! and we had a trade up when the irish dub came in the 1990s as Former Miss Ireland Amanda Bryam was the voice!

Chomp
the best 10p/25c you'll ever spent. chomp uk is a small caramel bar. while australian chomp  appartently has an added biscuit layer.

Clusters
€2.50 bags of chocolate raisins,peanuts and truffles and you can get a bag of supermarket brand one of those for a quid!

Creme eggs
from midnight new years eves a clock in bourneville ticks away not only the previous year but to the arrival of the first batch of creme eggs to the shops. the Eggs are filled with Fondant, aerated cream-burn you mouth if you ate to much! the advertistising for the eggs are memberable from ads with matt lucas, and citreon creating 5 creme egg cars heres the link:

in 2007 a full time bar called creme egg: Twisted was born.

Curly wurly
Lattice shaped bar that gets smaller ever year. in 2000 a bag of fun-size bars called curly wurly squirrllies were released, yeah as if the bars werent small enough already.

Crunchie
called Violet crumble for some reason in australia. the bar is a honeycomb bar.spinoffs include biscuits and clusters.

Double decker
Created by accident in 79, double decker is a two layered bar top layer nougat on a layer of rice crispies.

Dream
A white chocolate Dairy milk now discontinued, i love white chocolate that i sad to see it go.

Flake
" a 99 cone" thats a icecream cone with a flake in it a piece of overlapped grating chocolate. flake dairy milk before it, became its own brand with milk, dipped, praline, dark and the contraversial Snow flake.

In 2003 British tv presenter Anthea Turner made a deal with flake and Ok magazine to advertise the bar...on her wedding photos! the magazine even gave out a free bar on the edition with the photos. David Frost called it the most vile photos he ever seen and snow flake like turners career crashed landed.

Freddo
Remember in harry potter they mentioned chocolate frogs? well it was a reference to cadburys second oldest bar. In 1913 a bar just for kids was invented in the shape of a frog. in 1992 the bar was changed to coinside with that GOD-AWFUL Taz-mania cartoon called Taz-bar. In 2002 they relaunched Freddo by adding a caramel flavour and a flash game.

Fudge
a bar of fudge. its just here from completeness sake.

mini eggs
 eggs shaped smarties. only out for easter.

Picnic
A Take that to Nestle Lion bar with added raisins. mentioned for completeness sake.
