| 1120263 | 2010-07-19 12:24:00 | What really annoys me about Cadbury's Dairy Milk is that for 50 years or more it has always been the same. Now every time I buy some it is different. You cant take a major brand and muck around with it. It really tastes strange sometimes - some told me it tastes like wax. So now I try to buy Whitakers which as you all say is made in NZ which saves our overseas funds and employs kiwis. Perhaps you need to try and buy Whittakers rather than Whitakers. Can't you find any on the shelves where you shop? |

A man after my own tastes! Except I'd put Nestle in second place over Cadbury. A good test for the quality of chocolate is to put a piece on your tongue and push it gently against the roof of the mouth unitl it melts. Then, when there's only a little bit left, rub your tongue against the roof of your mouth. If it feels gritty, it's probably Cadbury. The test of a quality chocolate is smoothness, the smoother the better... For a proper comparative test, make sure you have samples of similar chocolate from each manufacturer. Milk chocolate is made for the hoi-polloi - it's far too sweet for anyone who has any love of real chocolate. |

Just imagine..."Professional chocolate taster" on your IRD form. Actually, I might use that one. Anytime I have to put my occupation down, I normally use "Retired brain surgeon" Ken :drool |

| 1120266 | 2010-07-19 20:06:00 | I put my down my occupation as a Professional Coronation Programme Salesperson which may explain why I've been unemployed since Queen Elizabeth II was crowned. Tasters for the local Monarch used to be a foolhardy occupation I'm told. They were not renowned for longevity. :eek: |

| 1120267 | 2010-07-19 21:15:00 | Whittakers for me. I used to live where they made it in Wanganui. I know Whittakers have a factory in Porirua, when did they have one in Wanganui? |
