Cadbury axes iconic Dairy Milk bar & there’s NO plans to bring it back, brand says – as chocolate lovers fume
CADBURY fans have demanded a return of an iconic Dairy Milk bar – but the chocolate maker has no plans to bring it back.
Social media users rushed online to beg the confectionery giant to revive the old “very-much missed” treat.
One fanatic of the Dairy Milk mint crisps shared an old photograph of the chocolate bar and asked Cadbury to bring back the sweet.
Taking to X, former Twitter, they said: “@CadburyUK @DairyMilkIn When will we get these bad boys back?
“They are very much missed #chocolate #dairymilk.”
But to the fan’s disappointment, the chocolate manufacturer relayed news that the company would not be bringing back the bar.
In response, the Cadbury’s account wrote: “We understand your love for this product, but currently, there are no plans to reintroduce it.
“We do however, have lots of chocolatey treats to try.”
Cadbury’s Dairy Milk was first introduced to Brits in 1905 and has become a household staple since then.
The choc-giant has sold a wide array of treats throughout its existence but not all of their products are still on the shelves.
Many fans have been saddened by discontinuations over the years as their favourite chocs disappeared from shops.
The most recent has seen its “nostalgic” Egg ‘n’ Spoon cartons vanishing from the shelves with fans outraged at the news.
Produced over a decade ago, Egg ‘n’ Spoons consisted of four chocolate eggs in a carton filled with vanilla or chocolate mousse and even a special Oreo variety.
But Cadbury, owned by Mondelez, confirmed last year that the egg cartons which contained their spoon “have been discontinued to reflect our fans’ changing taste buds”.
In the build-up to Easter egg season this year, Cadbury was still having to break the news to outraged fans on X, formerly Twitter.
Shoppers have also been disheartened when they realised an iconic Cadbury Caramel bunnies are now a memory of the past.
ICONIC CHOCOLATES THAT HAVE LEFT SHOP SHELVES
Cadbury’s Dream Chocolate bar: The popular bar was discontinued in 2002, but was relaunched in 2019 under the new name ‘Cadbury White’.
Mars Delight Bar: Although it proved to be a firm favourite by sweet-toothed fans during its four-year stint in shops starting in 2004, by 2008 it was removed from shelves. Fans still long to see the treat make a return.
Nestlé’s Caramac chocolate bar: The one-of-a-kind bar had been in shops for over six decades, but was discontinued last year due to continual slumps in sales.
Milky Way Crispy Rolls: They were pulled from shelves in 2022, and fans were so distraught by the news that a petition was started to bring them back, which currently has more than 8,500 signatures.
White Maltesers: The white chocolate version of the popular snack had a strong run lasting 11 years, but falling sales saw them discontinued in 2014.
The chocolates were made with smooth milk chocolate formed in the shape of an adorable bunny and filled with soft caramel.
Sweet-toothed Brits have been brutally shut down by Cadbury after the company confirmed their “best” chocolate bar won’t be back.
Fans were left heartbroken after the firm revealed there are “no plans” to bring back the fan-favourite snack.
The Cadbury Dairy Milk Toffee Popcorn bar was first released in 2012 but has been tough to find for fans ever since.
But it’s not all bad news as fans are offered a trip down the memory lane at a Cadbury “graveyard” stocked with all their famous axed treats.
The mouth-watering chocolate collection offers fans the chance to step back in time and be reunited with their retro favourites.
