Cadbury Flake

--- CADBURY FLAKE--- "Like fingerprints or snowflakes, no two Flake chocolate bars are the same". Flake has got to be one of my very favourite chocolate bars. It is just solid fabulous Cadburys chocolate. Advertised as the 'Crumbliest, flakiest chocolate in the world the flake bar delivers pure Cadburys, creamy chocolate taste; Going since 1920 the flake bar was created by sheer chance when a Cadbury employee over filled a chocolate mould and noticed ...
...long way in promoting the Cadbury Flake back in their early days.- ---CADBURY FLAKE--- The slim, layered flake is wrapped in a yellow, twist end, sealed wrapper. Displayed along the front in purple, metallic writing is the word 'Flake', with the famous slogan 'The crumbliest, flakiest milk chocolate' placed above. The thin wrapping is foil backed to ensure complete freshness upon opening. It always amazes me how they reach us intact, as the wrapping ...

Review of Cadbury Flake

...this out after visiting the Cadbury web site and, what a site it is. Here you can read all the history of Mr John Cadbury from the start in 1824 to today. Packaging ********* The most famous is the bright yellow foil wrapped bar. A very simple but striking package with the words Flake in big bold blue letters, Cadburys in smaller letters and the famous saying "The crumbliest flakiest chocolate" On the back you will find the nutrition information ...
...my little visit to the Cadbury web site, I found out the saying 99 came from Italy in 1930. Mr king of Italy himself, had 99 soldiers so this was seen to be lucky. Today after they are popped into an ice cream the name lives on. If you are not satisfied with your little bar, you can return it to Cadbury Limited, Bournville, P O Box 7011, Birmingham B30 2PY. or Cadbury Ireland Ltd, Coolock, Dublin 5, if bought in Ireland. Price ***** I bought ...

Review of Cadbury Flake

It’s a slogan for tortillas, but it could just as well apply here. I used to work in a newsagents and on a Sunday my boss’s partner would go to the local cash and carry to stock up on chocolate, crisps and drinks. He’d arrive back about an hour before we shut and my job for that time was to stock up the counter shelve things and make it all look nice and neat. We would invariably have Flakes for sale, and these came packed in big ...
...wrapping. What fun could be derived from just one of those little sticks. Cadbury’s flakes are, erm, flakes of chocolate, formed into a long finger like chocolate bar. They taste like Dairy Milk, or like Dairy Milk would if you grated it down and then stuck the bits back together again. Smooth. Creamy. Sweet. Delicious. Untwizzle (what? It’s a word) the end of a flake wrapper and a gorgeous inviting smell creeps out to tease your nostrils. ...

Review of Cadbury Flake

...please let me know because Cadbury Flake is hard to beat. I grew up with television images of dusky young maidens lying back in gondolas, slowly peeling back the wrapping and slipping a length...of Flake into her mouth <>. To compound the provocative scenario, the words "Only the crumbliest, flakiest chocolate.." would lilt out in the background to add that dreamy effect to a potential male paradise. The sexual imagery surrounding this and ...
...to promote their wares. Cadbury Flake has been around for years, having survived any prospective name changes and design although other products have come along to compete with this famous brand (think Ripple etc). Flake is distinctive due to both it's packaging (a bright yellow foil with the words Cadbury Flake in blue writing emblazoned across) and the actual product design. I can't think of any packaging that exactly looks like the Flake type, ...

Review of Cadbury Flake

...introduced in 1911, when John Cadbury (the chocolate man) saw the folds of unused chocolate coming out of the side of the chocolate machine, and he decided that it looked interesting, and decided to make a chocolate bar based on this idea. ~*~*PACKAGING*~*~ The Flake comes in a bright yellow packet, and looks quite elegant. The design is simple yet very effective. The purple text on the front of the packet, works well with the yellow background ...
...not too good for you, but great as a treat. The ingredients and nutritional values are all the back of the wrapper. The packaging is very easy to get into, all you need to do is untwist each end and squeeze the chocolate bar out. Quickness is always best with chocolate, sometimes you get desperate! ~*~*PRICE AND AVAILABILITY*~*~ Flakes seem to be stocked in the majority of places, they are a very well known chocolate bar. The bar that I bought ...

Review of Cadbury Flake

A phrase once used by the great Homer J simpson (those of you who don't know who he is, he's a cartoon character in the simpsons). These flakes taste the best I think. They are tasty,light and my god you wish they would not end. These were first tried by myself a few years ago and I think I did become addicted to them! Everytime I went shopping I had to buy them. Coming in singles, I so wish they would sell multipacks of them because that would ...
...My god I think i'm in love with them! Just writing about them makes me think how delicious they are. Cadbury's have made an awesome brand here I think because Flake is unlike your usual chocolate bars. It is as if it is just a bar made up of grated chocolate. There is none of the biscuit which is common with chocolate bars, and there is just pure delight filled in this packet. The chocolate itself is fairly soft, thus making it easy to bite into, ...

Review of Cadbury Flake

...come packaged in the traditional Cadbury colours of bright yellow with purple writing. There is also a picture at the end of the bar of the shards of chocolate that can be expected within. You are advised on the wrapper that the Flake bar is made by Cadburys and that it is the crumbliest, flakiest milk chocolate. Nutritionally for each bar you get 180 calories and digest 10.4g of fat. Since I was immobile at the time I was well aware that another ...
...chocolate. As with all Cadbury products the taste is out of this world. Creamy, sweet (but not overly so) chocolate tantalises the taste buds. The chocolate is extremely thick and luxurious. Once you have bitten into it and are savouring the taste you realise that the chocolate is melting in your mouth. All too soon the first mouthful is gone and you are biting off another. The bad thing about this bar is that it is finished much too quickly. But, ...

Review of Cadbury Flake

‘Only the crumbliest, flakiest chocolate; tastes like chocolate never tasted before’ A bold statement indeed; add to this a sultry lady eating the aforementioned Flake in an overflowing bath, in a way very provocative and sexual way and you have the quintessential Fake commercial. (It’s amazing that after seeing hundreds of Flake commercials over the years, this ‘bath’ one is the one that remains at the forefront of ...
...hype of the commercial, or is it simply a case of superb advertising enticing the consumer to buy a poor product? The Flake is not your typical Cadbury’s chocolate bar. Its taste is somewhat less sweet than the typical creamy Cadbury’s milk chocolate bar. The taste is pleasant as the chocolate melts gently in your mouth leaving a slightly bittersweet taste of cocoa. It has a similar taste to many unsweetened chocolates used ...

Review of Cadbury Flake

I just have to write about what I am experiencing at the moment, pure ecstasy! What could be more sexy, more pleasurable than pure Cadbury's chocolate in the form of a Flake? To me hardly anything comes close to the pleasure I get from eating one of these bars of chocolate. Why are they called Flake? Well, that's simple, it's because they are all crumbly and flaky so what better name for a chocolate bar, they have also been around for years and ...
...do so many things with these bars, but mainly I used to get so very messy now I have learnt the best trick not to get messy! I suppose you want to me to reveal all, well for those of you that eat these gorgeous things too and are still getting in a mess, you should keep the flake in the fridge and eat before it gets warm. Keep the wrapper firmly around it and snap the flake at several intervals this is so you can make a clean break in the bar and ...

Review of Cadbury Flake

Remember the advert? Sensuous looking ladies being rained on, not caring if they get wet or not as long as they have their Flake? Im sure you do but what you will also remeber if you have had one is that they are gone too blooming quickly! Thats what makes Flake such a great chocolate bar. Its appeal and its leaving you wanting more. One is just never enough but its naughty to go back and have another. You know that! So what is it and what is ...
...a difference... Pure chocolate that has not been manufactured in the usual way. Not slabbed out and set in a mould. Oh no. This is made of spindly chocolate that is somehow made into a stick shape and carefully wrapped up into a Yellow packet. Appearance? Well, it looks like a chocolate bar thaty has come from one of those sweet shops without a refrigerator. On a hot day, the chocolate melts in the packet and takes on that "powdered" coating look ...

Review of Cadbury Flake

*Updated Nutritious Value* How good is this, I get to write about chocolate. Probably the best chocolate in the world, isn't that the larger advert... are now I remember; “Only the crumbliest flakiest chocolate, tastes like chocolate never tasted before” Unless of course if this is your second in which case it would be; “Only the crumbliest flakiest chocolate, tastes like chocolate you’ve tasted before”. Hmmm, a lack of chocolate is obviously ...
...Flake! History When I were a lad (there is a small chance of this becoming silly you know) I lived with my mum. Money was in short supply and treats were few and far between, but a couple of times a week my mum (a short women but unnaturally strong) would buy me a couple of chocolate bars with the advice ‘don’t eat them all at once’, yea right, ‘make them last’, sorry selective deafness set in, ‘eat them too fast and they’ll make you sick’, never ...

Review of Cadbury Flake

...by those lovely people at Cadbury who are one of the largest producers of chocolate today. The company was started in 1824 by one man called John Cadbury in Birmingham. Cadbury now operate from their home at Bournville. The Flake bar itself was launched 1911. You can probably remember several of the infamous adverts for this product, with 'The Flake Girl'. Different adverts have been running since the 1950s all featuring a 'Flake Girl' in various ...
...her mouth and gently sweeping the crumbs with her fingers. From my childhood it was the overflowing bath. This is the indulgent chocolate. Or should I say 'the crumbliest, flakiest milk chocolate in the world.' Flake bars are targeted at young women between the ages of 16 and 34. However 40% of their sales are to men. But now for the chocolate itself. ~Packaging~ Flakes are enclosed in the bright yellow, foil wrappers, twisted at each end. Flake ...

Review of Cadbury Flake

...man store run by John Cadbury in 1824 and his businesses just grew and grew. The original flake was launched waaaay back in 1920! Then the famous 99 ice cream came onto the scene 10 years later in 1930. Over 100 million of these are sold every year!! The most recent contribution to the Flake family was in 2001, in the form of the Snowflake (oooh clever name! Considering it's a white chocolate Flake!). And there are loads of varieties on the Flake, ...
...Easter! Now, the Flake has been very strongly advertised as being the crumbliest and flakiest chocolate, and every time I eat one of these, I am forced to agree! But I will come back to that later… PACKAGING Now, obviously the first thing you notice when you buy something is the packaging. The flake wrapper is a striking yellow with the classic purple Cadbury's logo. The word 'Flake' is lovingly dashed across the front with a lovely picture of ...

Review of Cadbury Flake

My father is not much of a chocolate eater; however he is partial to two chocolate bars in particular: the Cadbury’s Flake and Twix. So you can be sure that we always have a packet of both lying about the house. I should point out that he very rarely eats any Flakes and so it falls to the rest of the family to eat them. Which we gladly do. The Cadbury’s Flake was first introduced in 1920. Then in 1930 the smaller Flake 99 was introduced. The latest ...
...2001. The Snowflake is basically a white chocolate flake covered in milk chocolate. You can also get ‘Dipped’ Flakes which are Flakes covered in a layer of milk chocolate. Sounds suspiciously like a Twirl to me. According to the Cadbury’s website you can also get Flake cakes but I have never seen these but saying the name is fun. You can also buy Flake ice-creams but these are pretty much the same as a Cornetto with a Cadbury’s Flake stuck in the ...

Review of Cadbury Flake

“Only the crumbliest, flakiest, milk chocolate, tasted like chocolate never tasted before” That’s the song/catchphrase for the yummy chocolate bar Cadburys Flake. I can remember the adverts with the flake song from when I was quite young so its been around for quite a while, which means they must be popular! I also remember the adverts being controversial, but I was too young to know why!! The Flake was one of Cadbury's first ...
...**~ ~ Flake ~ ~** A light piece of choccy that when you eat feels like you haven’t eaten it!! It is very crumbly and makes a mess!!! The crumble of chocolate melt in your mouth and if your not carefull.....all round your mouth!! **~ ~ Packaging ~ ~** The flakes wrapper has not changed over the years it has always been a bright yellow with Flake written in purple flowing writing. There is also an enlarged picture of part of a flake. The Wrapper ...
