Chocolate aficionados are devastated after Cadbury ditched two of its most popular flavors in the favorites roster while shrinking the box.

The box size has also shrunk from 570g to just 520g – with many online describing it as the ‘latest example of shrink inflation’.
After the new lookbox was spotted by an eagle-eyed shopper, many complained about the new options, while others said they were “much better.”

“Shrinkflation has reached Favorites. Dream and Flake has now been replaced by Caramilk and Twirl,” an Australian shared on Reddit.
‘Twirl is just a more structurally responsible version of Flake. Definitely an improvement in my opinion,” one wrote.
“But those mini Flakes are the perfect size to crush over a bowl of ice cream,” replied another.
“Flake has a better texture. Twirl just doesn’t strike the same way. But I’m more disappointed to lose Dream,” said a third.
A fourth complained “replacing Dream for Caramilk.”
Both the Dream and Flake bars will no longer be part of the beloved candy box
‘Is this really what we wanted? If they actually base this on what are statistically the most popular chocolates, great, but! Show me the data, Cadbury!’ said another.
One person who claimed to work in the chocolate industry said that “dream is by far the lowest quality white chocolate.”
‘Twirl replacing Flake is fine, but not a dream?? That’s like my favorite… (Caramilk is not a replacement for Dream),’ added another.
“First they took the Bounty away and I didn’t say anything. Then they took away the Dream and Flake and I still didn’t say anything. But if the b*****ds hit the Turkish Delight, I’ll write a strongly worded email to Carbury!’
Cadbury’s parent company, Mondelez International, said it regularly reviews chocolates to “make sure the box reflects Australia’s favorite flavours.”
“Caramilk and Twirl are among our most popular products and rightly deserve their place in the Cadbury Favorites lineup,” said Alex Blair, Mondelez’s Corporate and Government Affairs Manager. 7Life.
“Dream and Flake fans need not fear – both remain widely available in bar and share-bag formats.”
