I don't think it's a new development... but to be honest, I'm
surprised that Cadburys even lets them put the purple label on it,
because it is NOT 'Cadburys' chocolate... it's not even Cadbury's
proper recipe! Cadburys chocolate from Australia or New Zealand or the
UK or Canada is all wonderful (and all tastes pretty much the same)
but the US version tastes like candlewax. It only took me one bar to
swear off it for life... I don't like Hersheys either, except for some
of the specialty kisses.
