Cadbury announces 160 jobs to go between Kerry and Dublin. They will also cease production of Timeouts and pink snacks

More as we get it.
A call card sponsored by the then single Time Out bar.
It later split into two separate bars promising and, in fairness, failing to deliver twice the pleasure.

Noooooooooo! I L O V E pink snacks.
Is that a sexual thing?
If it isn’t it damned well should be.
I can give you two fingers if it helps…
Thats wafer-ism
More like Kraft-has-no-werk, wha?.
sorry
I found your comment robotic and somewhat monotone
That’s sad.
Glad the yellow snack is safe though.
Purple snack will always be the clear winner
I can’t believe I agree with thehead on something
Has anyone ever seen a pink snack and a timeout in the same place at the same time?
Stop production in Ireland or stop production full stop???
Na, pink snacks never did anything for me, the yellow ones are different. Bad for the 160 people affected.
If anyone should go it should be the purple snack. Just a cross-dressing Club Milk.
Disappearing up the Hershey highway?
Ah club milks. A nanolayer of tired and emotional chocolate enveloping two tooth-chipping “biscuits” originally conceived to survive long ship voyages, with a centre of dried-out surgical paste.
Take that back! You get more chocolate in the purple snack. Clubs Milks are stingy aul bars.
If there ever was an award going
For ” post and replies to it”

Broadsheet winners enclosure stuff
Well done all
Is this because of America barring proper chocolate from their shores? #ChoccieÁrLá
America didn’t ban proper chocloate, Hersheys paid Cadburys for the use of their name and for them not to sell their nicer chocolate in the states. Cadburys aren’t being hard done by, they are getting paid to let Americans suffer with their shitty chocolate
Really? Bizarre.
I dunno
In my sister’s gaff there’s presses full of Cadburys
Any they’ve big presses
I love the ould pink ones. Never buy one but they are always at the coffee stations in work.
No Boost for the economy there.
Timeouts were once relevant. I remember them being invented back when I was in Primary School. All the cool kids were eating them. Then there was the bigger Timeout that was just one big fat finger. The kids who ate them were super-cool.
Pink Snack could have been retired long ago. Not a strong bar.
Commiserations on the jobs news. That’s unpleasant.
Thank you for the accurate memory – the time out bar was a later (imo superior) development.
Any chance they’d bring back the Nunch
Evolved into a Moro did it not?
No. The Star Bar.
Which I make do with.
A lot
It must be said
Star Bar… hmmmmmmmmmmm
What were they?
Like a Dime Bar only instead of Armadillos they use nuns.
The Timeout bar was a Cadbury Ireland invention… basically a Twirl between biscuits covered in choc… nomnomnomnomnom……
Boo-hiss!
Get me my best pitchfork! No, the PF5000 ! We’re goin’ culling a few quakers!
Wait….are those the little bars – a bit like a club milk- or the square lads?
No the pink one is the wafer one.
The purple one is the one like a Club Milk.
thanks Dog
No they’re the two-fingered lads, sold in Irish pubs in the 70s and 80s to keep the kids quiet.
I think you’re thinking of the purple snack.
It would be a travesty if Cadbury stopped those.
It would bring me out onto the streets. Free the Purple Snack 1, yeh midget parasite.
earlier on broadsheet we had an unremarkable student whining that the taxpayer weren’t feathering them enough for a masters, the BS brigade attacked an honest post on the matter with the vitriol one would normally see a lynch mob reserve for pedophiles.
interesting to see how little compassion they actually have for 160 people losing their jobs.
take that twix out of your ass
Capitalize the “t” in “take”.
*Capitalise
It’s no Picnic being out of work.
Aero your grievances somewhere else.
There’s a galaxy of avenues for redress
but I suspect he might be a bit of a flake
*snickers
Ah now, no moro that.
Have you ever used a Time Out as a straw to drink a cup of tea or coffee with? Just bite a little bite off the top and bottom a Time Out finger and then dip it into your cup and suck. It is heavenly!
Too right. They missed a trick markettng there. I’ll actually really miss Time Outs.
Works better with Twirl, however you need vast experience to know when to not attempt a third slurp lest you lose the majority of the stick into the cup.
“yeah, because you don’t have one”
That’s exactly what at least two of you are going to post. You’re so predictable.
Typical Irish sentimental brand nostalgia.
What about the 160 jobs?
Pay rates were inflated, apparently. Unions didn’t want to maneuver, so, what do you expect?
Oh and.. No love for the yellow Snack, the shortcake squares..?
They’re tied with the purple for me. Purple overall is nicer, but you get more in the yellow ones with SIX whole squares!
Change of Topic
Ahem.
Sorry people are losing their jobs
But that’s commerce
Its not working for you today
But one day
It’ll swing back for you
