1120295	2010-08-14 08:54:00	Good news, Whittaker's has suddenly restored Almond Gold and Fruit & Nut blocks to 33% cocoa and 30% milk powder. I don't know yet whether the other low-cocoa blocks have been brought back to 33%.	GoodHour (12218)
1120296	2010-08-14 08:58:00	saw this on an article on stuff. Whittaker's "found a certain way to have a crack at a really big, loved New Zealand brand and without doubt I believe they got some traction with that". "By comparison, Cadbury as the No1 brand didn't get into a tit-for-tat response to that directly. Instead, they just went and created the most loved piece of communication in the country – the Freida cow campaign." The what cow? What the hell are they smoking?, They suffered badly and I have never heard of the cow....	Metla (12)

1120298	2010-09-09 19:19:00	I found an old Peanut Slab wrapper from 2003 * 21% cocoa * milk powder 11% * peanuts 35% It's funny how they keep writing "The Original" on them despite the changed recipes. But they've improved the quality alot compared with the ones from 2003. Does anyone remember how rough they used to be back in the 90s? They were real "slabs" back then.	GoodHour (12218)

I see now that Cadbury's are labeling their king size blocks at the top with Fair Trade Cocoa and "The Original Taste". I think they are getting desperate . Some original taste as what ? What it was years ago? What it was when they went to Palm Oil ? What is was when they imported it from Australia? You can see how they have xxxed their brand. And I think that in my local Countdown Whitakers are out selling them. Especially when people realise that their blocks are bigger.	Digby (677)

Peanuts belong in peanut butter, and that belongs in a PBJ but NOTHING else! FWIW: Cadbury and (whatever Whittikers is) are all balooey! Ghiradelli is the best! (http://www.ghirardelli.com/) As America's longest continuously operating chocolate manufacturer, Ghirardelli has established its position as America's premium chocolate company for more than 150 years. We are one of very few American manufacturers that make chocolate starting from the cocoa bean through to finished products. Throughout the process, we take special steps to ensure that our premium chocolate delivers our signature intense, smooth-melting chocolate taste. * Intensive quality assurance in the selection of cocoa beans means that Ghirardelli accepts only the highest-quality beans. We reject as many as 40% of the beans that are offered to us. Beans that are not selected are sold to other manufacturers. * In all of its chocolate product, Ghirardelli uses a proprietary blend of cocoa beans that has been refined over the company's 150-year history to provide the company's distinct and intense chocolate taste. * Ghirardelli roasts the cocoa beans in-house to ensure the company's signature flavor profile is consistently maintained in all chocolate products. We also use a different roasting process whereby we remove the shell first and then roast the small nibs inside. Because the nibs are fairly uniform in size, we have more control over the temperature and time, so we can get a more specific flavor. Other companies roast their beans before removing the shell, which requires over-roasting the outside portion of the bean in order to roast the inside. This could impart a burned flavor to their chocolate. * Finally, Ghirardelli uses an intensive refining process to ensure that its chocolate truly melts in your mouth! Ghirardelli has no grainy feel because we refine most of our chocolate flakes until they are 19 microns (human hair is 100 microns in diameter). Other mass market chocolates are refined to only 40 microns.	SurferJoe46 (51)
