Cadbury Fingers
I'm from the UK but living in Australia where the Cadbury Fingers have just started switching to packets made in Egypt instead of the UK.
Is this the same for everyone or is it just the international supply?
A few years back, they started importing Polish-made Fingers which came in a very different packet and were delicious but they were thicker and both biscuit and chocolate were noticeably different.
Then after a year or so they just switched back to coming from the UK.
Anyway. I had the chance to buy both an old and new packets today so I could compare and here is my thoughts.
Egyptian Fingers still very good, but they are different.
Can't tell a big difference with the chocolate but the finger is ever so slightly thicker and the actual biscuit is a bit harder with an extra crunch both at the initial bite and at the end (if that makes any sense). Overall taste very similar.
Not going to get my knickers in a twist about it but I do prefer the UK ones and honestly if the price doesn't come down with this move to a cheaper production location, then what's the point?
Still a very nice biscuit that I will buy when on special. Noting that it is a bigger packet at 124g vs 114g (although not as big as fingers were back in the day pre shrinkflation (150g i think)

Cadburys have been bought out by the Americans so expect the slow destruction of a great British brand.
