Cadbury facts

[DaveL485]

Totally unimportant, useless, but mildly entertaining factoids about Cadbury Chocolate stolen from one of our bulletins.

Enough Cadbury’s dairy Milk chocolate is sold each year to cover all 92 premier and nationwide league football pitches five times over.

250 million (250,000,000) bars of Cadbury’s Dairy Milk are produced every year.

Over 1 million Cadbury’s Crunchie bars are produced every day at a rate of 1,200 bars per minute

If all the Boost bars sold each year were placed end to end, it would take Michael Schumacher two and a half days to drive his Formula 1 car flat out from one end to the other.

Cadbury lays 66,000 Cadbury’s Crème Eggs every hour and 1.5 million a day.

Over 500 million Crème Eggs are made in a year, one third of which are sold overseas.

More than 160 million (160,000,000) Cadbury’s Crème Eggs are sold in the UK between January and Easter – if they were stacked on top of one another, they would be over 900 times as high as Mount Everest.

The amount of milk used in a year’s production of Cadbury’s Dairy Milk chocolate would fill nearly 14.4 Olympic size swimming pools.

It takes over 60,000 tonnes of cocoa beans to make a years supply of chocolate; enough to fill the Albert Hall twelve times over.

So that means they make in excess of 365 million Crunchie bars. No way do Crunchie sales exceed CDM. Even if they only work Mon-Fri for 48 weeks, that's still 240 million Crunchies.

That doesn't sound very much to me, given that they make 250m bars a year.

The Schumacher one is pretty cool!

Do the maths. A glass and a half in every kilo, isnt it?

Would need to make some assumptions on which standard size 'bar' they are referring to, and the size of the glass. Volume of Olympic swimming pool can be obtained presumably.

I used to double my pocket money by buying creme eggs at the staff shop for 5p each, then selling them at school for 10p. Good times.

In hindsight, I probably could have charged 15p........

Thankyou. I would also like to kill you too

I worked with a woman who admitted she could eat 1 Kg of Dairy Milk in a sitting.

Multipack Crunchies included possibly? I bet they sell more of those than multipacks of Dairy Milk.

I'm starting to understand why there are so many hippocrocopigs in the UK

That's if he finishes.

They're grotesque statistics when you think about it.

Also, why are some numbers written and then explained "2 million (2,000,000)" but others not? This kind of slackness annoys me. Could you let the author of the bulleting know? Ta.

And, as JAYB said, kick the fk out of the person who say "lays" WRT Créme Eggs.

648,000 Gallons Per pool

41,990,400 Litres

Or 1049760 cows required to produce this in a day at 40 litres per day

Or 2877 cows producing 40 litres every day for 365 days

Thank crunchie it's friday.

[Plotloss]

500 million eggs, a third of which are exported.

That means the British people consume nearly 1,000,000 Cadburys Creme eggs a day, every day.

That's fking madness!
