You know caramel filled Freddo bars? Well they used to be known as Taz bars. The small slabs of chocolate used to feature the Loony Tunes character, Taz the Tasmanian devil, and were released alongside a relaunch of the Freddo bars in 1994.
In the UK, a caramel-filled version is also sold, with a yellow wrapper. This was formerly known as the Taz bar, featuring the Looney Tunes character. They disappeared for several years before returning under the Freddo image.
The Taz bar was released in 1994 and remained on shelves for a few years before being pulled and replaced with the Freddo frog character. A Fox's Echo was a combination of white chocolate on the top half of the bar and milk chocolate on the bottom.
Cadbury's Fuse is a case in point. Although the chocolate bar did exceptionally well in research and on launch, the company failed to invest in marketing, and eventually discontinued the line.
In 2003, as part of a relaunch of the Cadbury Dairy Milk brand, the Wispa brand was discontinued and the product relaunched as "Dairy Milk Bubbly". As part of the relaunch, the product was reshaped as a standard moulded bar (similar to other 'Dairy Milk' products) instead of a whole-bar count-line.
Cadbury axed Wispa as part of a move to bring a number of brands under the Dairy Milk umbrella brand. It axed Cadbury's Caramel at the same time, but it was relaunched as Dairy Milk with Caramel.
Caramac was discontinued after 64 years in November 2023, a decision Nestle said was made due to falling sales. Nestle, in a statement at the time, said: “We are very sorry to disappoint fans of Caramac.
Why and when was the Mars Delight chocolate discontinued? By 2008, four years after it was introduced, the Mars Delight was discontinued - and for no apparent reason. Chocolate lovers were left distraught at the time and even to this day, the reason for its disappearance remains unknown.
UPDATE 2020: I recently contacted Mars via email to see if they have had a change of heart, sadly their response was that they are not currently planning to bring Mars Delight back.
It started, in 2007, at 17g but grew, believe it or not, to 20g in 2007 - but then shrunk back to the current 18g version in 2011. If you think that's bad, just be thankful we aren't Australian. As, whilst our bars may have grown in price and not size, theirs actually shrunk to an underwhelming 12g.
Cadbury, formerly Cadbury's and Cadbury Schweppes, is a British multinational confectionery company owned by Mondelez International (originally Kraft Foods) since 2010. It is the second-largest confectionery brand in the world, after Mars.

Since November 2022 the dark chocolate Bounty has not been available. Mars UK said in September 2023 that "we have temporarily had to delist Bounty Dark for operational reasons and we're working hard to bring the product back when we can".
The Wispa Gold is a newer invention, adding a caramel layer to the traditional version. It was launched in 1995, discontinued in 2003 and brought back 2011. But now the Wispa Gold has undergone a trendy tweak - shoppers spotted Salted Caramel versions for sale in supermarkets, and some were not happy.
In 1995 the confectionery formerly known as "Mintola" (near-identical in appearance to Munchies, but consisting of plain chocolate with a mint fondant centre) was renamed "Mint Munchies". In 2006, Mint Munchies were again renamed, this time as "After Eight Bitesize".
Mars bars are a type of candy bar that is high in sugar, fat, and calories, and they do not provide the balanced nutrition that is necessary for good health.
Each ROLO® tube is made from paper and aluminium foil, which can be easily recycled in the UK. Initially produced at the Mackintosh factory in Norwich, in 1994 production was transferred to Nestle's Fawdon factory in Newcastle, UK, where they still continue to be made to this day in their billions!
The name is a combination of 'Caramel' and 'Mackintosh' and was determined through a competition held by the management team at Mackintosh's for their workers at the factory in Norwich.
The "twist" on the fan favourite is made by Cadbury, called "Cadbury Caramilk" and it's relatively similar to the Nestlé version or Caramac as one Tesco shopper pointed out. Available in a hefty 360g size on the shelves of Tesco people have called it a "winner" and are thrilled to find it.
To most people, Ferrero is simply the first part of the name of individually wrapped hazelnut chocolate pieces that you often see out around Valentine's Day and Mother's Day — Ferrero Rocher. But on Tuesday, the European chocolate company announced it was buying Nestle's U.S. confectionary business for $2.8 billion.

CHOCOLATE lovers were left heartbroken to discover a beloved sweet treat has been scrapped from store shelves. Cadbury's confirmed the decision to discontinue the Cadbury Dairy Milk 30% Less Sugar after fans questioned why it had vanished from shops.
Pretty much. Here's the deal: Hershey owns the rights to make and sell Cadbury bars for the U.S. market, but the American chocolate giant uses a different recipe. The first ingredient in U.K. Cadbury chocolate is milk, while sugar is the first in American-made Cadbury chocolate, according to The New York Times.
