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

To a depth of what? 1 micron, 1 centimeter, a meter what?

rubbish statistic

I'm taking this a bit too seriously, sorry.

Five times the depth of one bar I should think

I'm with pete tong here, my immediate question when seeing this stat was to question to what depth.

They don't state that it's in bar shape and could equally apply to the chocolate being poured over the grass.... but to what depth???

We demand answers!

I believe it applies to placing an unwrapped bar right in the very very corner of the pitch. Lay another right up to it, then again and again until you have, effectively, paved the pitch with dairy milk bars.
Repeat for five layers, and then repeat the five layers another 91 pitches. Alternatively lay 460 layers on one pitch.

But there are at least 4 bar depths of Dairy Milk.

Thank crunchie it's friday.

I love polar bears, if that polar bear stuck it's head through my window I'd grab it's chops either side and go wubawubawuba.

A pound says you wouldn't!

I reckon he would, as the bear would be eating his face.

How pissed would a polar bear be if on getting his head stuck through a window, some idiot tries to uppercut it?

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

Sitting?

Where exactly was her mouth?

Totally unimportant, useless, but mildly entertaining factoids about Cadbury Chocolate

The best fact is that they don't make chocolate, well, not much anyway. To be chocolate, it must have a minimum of 35% cocoa. It's not just Cadburys though, nearly all chocolate isn't. It's like chocolate has become a generic term for any old bar of brown stuff.

In the USA though, the FDA doesn't allow stuff that isn't chocolate to be called chocolate, the US manufacturers have applied to have the definition changed, and failed. Not much chocolate in the US, lots of candy bars though.

Don't be ridiculous of course it hasnt, you're making it up.
The stock you are eating now thats 'changed' would have been made WAY before the takeover. We're currently months into production for next easter!

Regional recipe's change. Irish CDM tastes different to UK CDM, and Australian CDM is different to USA CDM. Hotter climates, for example, would demand a waxier chocolate to prevent it melting in ambient temperatures.
I send UK stuff to mates in the USA on occasion cos it's far tastier that the chocolate they get over there.
