Oi, Cadbury, leave our sweets alone: these Dairy Milk Marvellous Creations are anything but
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Without wishing to give our enemies any ideas, it would be pretty easy to see off the denizens of the Trending desk. All you’d need to do is send us something reasonably tasty (and chock-full of poison), and we’d fall upon it like starving rats. Recently, a box of truffles arrived as a thank-you for one writer, and the pack attacked.
Too late was the realisation that the thank-you came from the British Pig Executive (for someone doing a judging stint) and that the truffles were packed with bacon chunks.
Similarly, with high hopes and a low sense of impending doom, Trending received a bar of Dairy Milk Marvellous Creations. “Roll up roll up, Marvellous Creations are in town!” it said on the wrapper.” A chocolate bar filled with jellies, popping candy and candy shells isn’t exactly ordinary. Luckily, we’re far from ordinary here at Joyville.” Ordinary it wasn’t. It was also far from marvellous. Crunch, chewy, fruity, fizzy… and WRONG. Wrongly shaped pieces (they’re all jaunty) and a horribly off-kilter array of textures.
After Cadbury’s redesign of its normal Dairy Milk (out with the square of chocolate and in with blobs), Trending feels it’s going to have to intervene. Once it’s polished off the Cookie Nut Crunch Marvellous Creation, of course.
