Cancel Christmas... Cadbury calls time on chocolate coins
Cadbury has decided to stop producing chocolate coins, prompting some distraught fans to declare that Christmas should be cancelled as a result.
A spokesman for the now US-owned company said that wrapping gold foil around a circular piece of chocolate was "fiddly" and that it was purely a commercial decision.
"We are sorry to see the coins go, but that's business," the spokesman told the Daily Telegraph.
I came across the article above and for all those that grew up with Cadburys Chocolate Coins will understand the sadness that I feel upon reading this.A bag of Cadburys coins was always a given at Christmas..in fact it's was a tradition, as every year my sisters and I all received a bag, and the dairy milk chocolate somehow tasted better and more special wrapped in the gold and silver foil. Perhaps they were sprinkled with that childhood "Christmas magic" but I for one remember with fondness many Christmas mornings waking to presents and always a string bag of chocolate treasures.
"RIP my friends,your taste and the happy memories will linger on forever".
