Review of Nestle Yorkie

...bought myself a bar of nestle yorkie I haven’t tried these before but I was thinking of someone at the time and I felt sure this was the sort of chocolate he would like, so I decided to try it for myself. I bought a nice big monster bar and as you must know by now the advertising for this particular bar has taken a bit of a bashing. First of all it calls itself the macho bar,and the television adverts are always banging away how it is not a girls ...
...biscuit,there are several different types there are almond,milk chocolate,chocolate and raisen. I also believe a honeycomb one is now available. Anyway this one is a 70g bar at the price of 40 pence,it is in a shiny maroon coloured packet with the words yorkie in large yellow letters the O being in white with a picture of a lady and a red cross through it meaning of course off limits to women. This sort of negative advertising gets my back up if ...

Review of Nestle Yorkie

...chunky bar is made by Nestle who are well known for making a huge range of products including ice-creams and confectionary such as Kit Kat, Polo, Quality Street and many more popular sweets and treats. The original chocolate Yorkie bar was launched in 1976, to take on brands such as Cadbury’s Dairy Milk and provide a chunky chocolate bar instead of the slim Cadbury Dairy milk Bars. Yorkie bar used to have a total of 6 chunks to the bar and each ...
...information and how to contact Nestle by phone, post or using the internet. When opening the blue foil wrapper and taking a sniff you can smell a lovely smell of yummy chocolate which smells mouth-watering and creamy. The chocolate is a lovely creamy brown colour and you can see the bar itself is quite chunky with gaps separating the chunks which make the chunks easier to break off. ***TASTE TEST*** When putting a chunk of this yummy chocolate ...

Review of Nestle Yorkie

...other side of the bar Nestle have written “original” so you know which variety you are getting. I removed the wrapper and revealed a huge slab of chocolate. It sat there on my kitchen table looking like a blunt weapon. I smelt it and was rewarded with a very chocolaty smell. It smelt just like the Easter egg chocolate you get with Nestle Easter eggs such as the Smarties Easter egg. Flip the bar over and you see that the Yorkie is divided up into ...
...twice the size of an ordinary square of chocolate (such as you would find in a Cadbury’s Dairy Milk bar). I reckon they were at least half an inch high. Each ingot had “Yorkie” stamped on top. The first piece broke off with perhaps a little more effort that is needed with smaller chocolate bars. There was no audible snap but then again it has been very warm recently so the chocolate was probably a little soft. The piece was almost too big to put ...

Review of Nestle Yorkie

...the latest marketing ploy from Nestle and actually think that they have got it all wrong! The latest campaign tells us that the Yorkie bar is for men only. It “doesn’t come in pink”, is “king sized, not queen sized” and shouldn’t be used to “feed the birds”. Basically “it’s not for girls”. Strangely enough, this campaign (following on from the more traditional, and certainly less ...
...(raisin and biscuit). Surely Nestle have omitted to notice the feminine appeal here. I like my men big and chunky – that’s Yorkie. I like my men to have substance – that’s Yorkie. Men like their women sexy – that’s not Yorkie. They like variety – that’s not Yorkie. The adverts are intended to be tongue in cheek (as is much of my opinion) but have we really come this far? I don’t want to be told ...

Review of Nestle Yorkie

...A big 70g bar of Nestle chocolate wrapped in eye catching dark blue foil. This is the original Yorkie. It set me back 40p in the local newsagents, but some shops vary in prices. The name is easy to spot, as it goes right across the front in golden yellow letters highlighted with red trim. The most obvious factor is that the O in Yorkie has been turned into a prohibition sign of a woman with a red line going through it. Below this is the more eye ...

Review of Nestle Yorkie

Now boys, tell me why exactly Yorkie is “not for girls”? I am sure you know that some of us may be partial to having big things in our mouths. Me and my friend (and the dog) have just worked our way through an Original Yorkie (in about 40 seconds). The reason the dog got involved was to save us fighting in the middle of the floor over the last chunk as there was only five of them. Now don’t go thinking that we were too girly to eat a whole one as ...
...hands down in the chocolate eating stakes. The Packaging The Yorkie comes in a blue wrapper with yellow writing saying “Yorkie”. The “O” is a red circle warning sign of a woman holding a handbag with a red line through it. Below this it says “Its not for girls!” in white writing. Lies, lies, of course it is. The warning sign is repeated on the back in a larger size and it says “Do not feed the birds” which I think is quite funny. The Taste Test ...

Review of Nestle Yorkie

...that the marketing agencies at Nestle didn’t observe this issue when they were creating a new advertising campaign. And the fact is, the Yorkie looks and feels a very masculine piece of chocolate. It is powerful, strong and quietly attractive. Following in my brother’s style, I’m going to whinge at you about some dull chocolate bar. FIRST GLANCE As it looks at me, through its evil, red-rimmed circular eye, the Yorkie bar seems ...

Lets stick to the Yorkie for now. STUFF INSIDE Here’s a list of the gross crap that will fill your body if you dare to munch this blend of man-made substances.

Review of Nestle Yorkie

...that it is made by Nestle and along the side it tells you it is the Honeycomb variety in fancy writing. On the reverse of the wrapper it advises that it is NOT AVAILABLE IN PINK - in bold white letters. My first thought is that Nestle are certainly not marketing this to the market as a whole. The bar contains (as advised on the back) milk chocolate, sugar glucose syrup, raising agent and honeycomb pieces. Nutritionally (scary) 332 calories, 3.7g ...
...thickness of the chunks. Nestle should be proud of this one. It is filling (but I could eat a few together if I was forced) and you really feel you have had your monies worth with this one. A really chunky, addictive "MANLY" (that was a joke) bar. By the way I've just finished the whole bar. There are different kinds available - milk chocolate, milk chocolate with nuts and milk chocolate with raisin and biscuit and they are priced at 49p in my local ...

Review of Nestle Yorkie

...packagin technique is used by Nestle for this product. It has a blue wrapping and the word "Yorkie" is written in bold white writing across the centre. A very bland packaging I feel, therefore you want be attracted to it. Considering that the bar is rectangulr in shape the packet (which is normal foil wrapping) is also in this shape. The chocolate bar can be split into smaller pieces because the whole bar is made up of smaller blocked-shaped chocolates. ...
...is a few for me because they taste gorgeous - and me being me would want more of them! Like I said before it tastes like normal milk chocolate i.e it is not too sweet or salty. However there are a few E-numbers, which as was stated by the Trevor McDonald documentary a few weeks ago, causes erratic behaviours in children. I would say not eat E-numbers because they aren't healthy for you, but I would also say keep your mouth happy! So a dilemma - do ...

Review of Nestle Yorkie

...lot of interest in the Nestle chocolate bar. Women bought them just to be contrary, men bought them to spark off conversation with those women, and so on. The whole idea was focused around a 'macho' chocolate bar. Made of Nestle's tangy, bitter chocolate, it had none of your 'namby-pamby' biscuit or wafer or carmel centre - it was just good sized pure chocolate through and through. Sensible. Powerful. Man-sized. The blatant sexism of the marketing ...
...chocolate. Quite surprising for a Nestle bar, whose choccy is usually substandard to Galaxy and Dairy Milk. Checking the wrapper again, I notice '5 Hunky Chunks of Milk Chocolate' emblazoned on the side. Aha. There are indeed five pieces, fewer than those on my beloved Galaxy, but they are indeed pretty hefty slabs. No problem getting MY lips arouns them though! Taste-wise, the chocolate is quite sweet, but sickly too. It melts quite easily on the ...

But away from the awfully stupid marketing campaigns, how does the chocolate bar fare? Let's see... Packaging Blue all over. On the front, yellow letters spelling out'Yorkie'. The 'O' is a red circle with a line through it, depicting a woman holding a hand bag. Down the side, 'It's NOT for girls', then on the other side, 'Original' ...
...mean).It tastes like all other Nestle Chocolate Products, with thick/hard texture around the chocolate. In my opinion(which is what this is all about) the texture and overall taste is nicer in Cadbury's, as it tastes softer and sweeter in a good way. After a couple of bars(in the same day, if you can eat that much) it starts to taste a bit sickly, but then again, so do all chocolate bars. The bar does taste nice and thick, but also a bit plain. Other ...
