According to the third drop down box on the official Cadbury website, the reason for different cocoa content is to do with storage and milk variation.

I've always thought dairy milk tasted a little more creamy than the other bars.

I know the chocolate isn't the main event as such, but it's still a Cadbury's product and I'd assumed it was pretty much the same chocolate covering the Boost.


I do love a boost, at one time they even released one in a green wrapper offering an EXTRA sugar hit. Like the standard one isn't enough.

Wispa coudl be made with dairy milk (or not, i'm not sure), but it has a very different texture and is therefore a very different proposition.


I like crunchie's too.

I was quite happy to oblige with this. Basically childish humour, I'm your man.

I always thought the jingle which went with the made up 'finger of fudge' song, was from the old English Folk tune 'The Lincolnshire Poacher'.. Or it certainly is very similar.

I can't really be trusted around milk chocolate, it's so sweet I can hoover up tons of the stuff.


My favourites are Crunchie, Maltesers, Minstrels and Twirls. Prefer Galaxy to Dairy Milk but if I had to buy a bar of milk chocolate I'd go for Green and Blacks - Almond or Butterscotch in particular.


I used to love Bourneville when I was younger but I can't remember the last time I saw a bar in the shops - maybe because I am not really looking for it or maybe it's been replaced by all the posher dark chocolate now.


I keep a small supply of tiny bars of chocolate in the house - usually Green and Blacks - the dark chocolate selection pack only. I'd enjoy the milk more, but it'd last me a couple of days or so and then I'd have gobbled it all up. The dark ones seem to satisfy the craving far quicker and knowing they are there usually stops me from heading out to buy large bars of the sweet stuff.


I can't do that thing of only eating a square or two or a bar, have to eat the whole bar, hence buying the small ones. For some reason I can have a large bar's worth of small ones and still just eat one... It's not logical, but I saw a TV program on food once which showed it's not unusual to be like that - most people will eat more when food comes in larger packs.

Minstrels kept in the freezer


But you must eat them by biting edge to edge between your molars, slowly incase you break a tooth tho


Curly Whirly from the freezer, whack the packet hard on the work top and the thing shatters, tip some of that onto icecream or yoghurt


The pound shop stuff specifically is made for the ? shops, so it's smaller

oh god yeah I remember there was a craze for all things guarana in the 90s, don't remember the Boost one though I do remember a sickly coconut one in a blue wrapper. Yuck.
