There are some debates that Aussies have had since the dawn of time. Where to store tomato sauce? (Answer: the fridge.) The correct name for deep-fried potato slices? (Answer: potato cakes.) But what about which Cadbury chocolate block is the best? With everyone having their personal preferences, a clear answer is harder to find.
Over the past few months, due to the stressful circumstances we’re currently living under, I’ve been plowing through block after block of Cadbury Dairy Milk choccy. I’ve basically memorised the entire row at the supermarket and I find myself standing there every trip without noticing. Something possesses my body and as soon as I step foot in a Coles or Woolies I’m pulled towards the section of Dairy Milk Bubbly. I can’t explain it.
But not every block of chocolate has earned its spot in that aisle. I would argue some flavours should be ditched by Cadbury entirely. It’s time to rank them all to call out the varieties not pulling their weight. I’m, of course, not the first to rank choccy blocks. This ranking actually reckons Fruit and Nut is the best.
Turkish Delight
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, WHO wants to eat food flavoured by a flower?? I ain’t crawling around Bunnings scoffing down plant petals?! Turkish Delight is to blame for all our problems. Turkish Delight is the reason 2020 sucks so bad. Turkish Delight is the reason Kath & Kim ended. Turkish Delight is a blight on society.
Tropical Pineapple
Who asked for this?! This flavour is already in the Snack block and is arguably the worst option (behind Turkish Delight obvi), so how on earth is there an entire pineapple block BUT no strawberry?! I am ON EDGE.
Caramilk
This is basically just white chocolate flavoured with caramel! Don’t get it twisted! While one or two pieces are nice, a few rows are just too much.
Fruit & Nut
This is the ‘OK, Boomer’ of chocolate block varieties. This is the flavour you get your Dad every year for his birthday and he still acts surprised. It’s just gross. The nuts are passable, but the dried fruit *shivers* is straight-up unpleasant.
Coconut Rough
No one has ever said, “Gee, I’m fanging for a block of Coconut Rough!” While compiling this list, I had to double-check to see whether Coconut Rough actually still existed. How has it survived when I can’t think of a single person who would buy it?! Look, the taste is fine but it’s super forgettable.
