Cadbury's chocolate is rancid. I'm not sure how true this is, actually, or whether my hatred of it is pre-determined by the fact that it's made by people from Birmingham.

Either way:

Galaxy Ripple > Cadbury Flake.

Never had the other one, but I will offer an equal trade for a box of them.

You do have Galaxy in America, I think it's called Dove, though? Or something?

Whether or not it tastes anything at all like Galaxy remains to be seen as I've never had "Dove", but it's defintely the same brand, same logo and packaging. Both made by Mars. I'm certain of it, but I can't be bothered to look right now [lol]

Edit: Looked anyway, here are my findings:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_%28chocolate%29

Note this line in particular:

"The brand is called Dove in many parts of the world including the United States, People's Republic of China, Germany, the Netherlands, Canada, Australia, France and Greece.[citation needed] However, the chocolate used in Dove products in the United States is different in taste from the chocolate used in Galaxy in the United Kingdom."

I don't know whether it tastes worse or better, but I understand that there is some truth in the reason why our teeth are stereotypically worse than yours, and it's because our sweets/candy have a LOT more sugar in, hence improved taste maybe? [lol]

I've had Dove before, it's good, but not as good as Lindt.

Well if you prefer cadbury's to dove Jer I would say that our Galaxy chocolate is far far better than this Dove :) Lindt is very good though and one of the few chocolates apart from Kinder that i will eat reguarly.

Actually, I'm gonna have to agree. Lindt, Lindor is undoubtedly the greatest chocolate on the planet.
