Cadbury Chocolate - Should They Keep It?

Cadbury Chocolate

The history of Cadbury Chocolate in New Zealand ended on Thursday March 29th. Located in Dunedin, a man named Richard Hudson opened his first Biscuit Bake House in the year 1868.  He was the creative mind behind the Hudson’s Chocolate Chip Cookies and the Hudson Cookie Bear. Later on in 1884, Richard Hudson first opened his chocolate and cocoa manufacturing plant. This was where New Zealand chocolate originated from. Then in 1930, Richard Hudson started collaborating with Cadbury to create their first Dairy Milk Bar. The foundation has been made here for 150 years.

Theoretically, a change in the recipe could possibly create an interesting flavour and something better. The new twist could be suitable and more delicious for the consumer and it could make new history for the Cadbury name. However it could also turn out to be a embarrassing failure that could make New Zealand wonder why they even tried. Cadbury original chocolate blocks consist of Fruit & Nut, Milk Chocolate, Crunchie, Picnic, Jelly Crunchie Bits, Jelly popping candy, Energy, Turkish, Top deck and Snack but, what if they added a new flavour that consisted of popcorn or cotton candy. These add ins could add an interesting flavour.

To some it doesn’t make a difference and to others like me, it is sad and aggravating to know that another one of New Zealand’s product is to be imported rather then exported.  Items like clothing, tinned food, household items, cars and more has previously been taken from us. It is deeply crucial that our successful companies and delicious foods made in this country remain here so that our creativity is not credited to another country. This could also contribute to a possible price raise. This has an unfortunate effect on our society, by which people are losing their jobs and are not able to pay for things like taxes, bills and payments for shopping, gas and much more.

To conclude, the now Australian company is a depressing reminder of what New Zealand has lost. However, maybe this new change could bring a brighter and more successful future for the Cadbury Company. We must accept this change because who knows, maybe we’ll bring it back or create something better.
