Very Important question!

Which one?!

I would normally pick Galaxy over Dairy Milk, but sometimes a bar of DM is a nice change.

Bournville though... heaven in a red wrapper.

Galaxy every time, although obviously I would never turn down a free bar of Dairy Milk.  

Philistines! Cadbury every time for me. Galaxy/Mars is just slimy!
I forgot Bournville Laura, but I' don't do plain. I also didn't include Nestle or Milka. I do like the purple cows too.......

I really love Milka. I'm dangerous when that stuff is around!

Dairy milk for me! Especially given the plus point that they know what "suitable for vegetarians" means

How can chocolate not be suitable for vegetarians? :s

Dairy Milk for me. But anything will do if Im in need!!!

Dairy milk for me too now I really want one

I got my mum to bring me a bar of Bournville when she popped in for her lunch

Galaxy evry time especially Hazelnut  Cadburys just tastes kind of furry....yuck!

Well, if you really want to know... the problem is usually whey...

When you add certain enzymes to milk, it separates into curds and whey (as in little miss muffet). Curds are made into cheese - whey is a by-product. Quite often, the whey is dried and added to all kinds of things as a cheap filler (chocolate, biscuits, icecream etc).

The issue is the source of the enzymes... Sometimes, it's sourced from the stomach linings of unweaned slaughtered calves - and sometimes it has more vegetarian friendly origins. For a product containing whey to be genuinely suitable for vegetarians, the source of these enzymes needs to be appropriate (the same obviously applies to cheese - which is why some cheese has a V on it and some doesn't). 

Cadburys understand this - products containing whey from unsuitable sources are actually marked as "not suitable for vegetarians" (eg, dairy milk with oreo). Other companies are not so understanding - they either don't know or don't care where their whey comes from.

There was a huge fuss about this a few years ago - mars switched from veggie to non-veggie whey ([You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]) and then [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] when they realised that people actually care about this stuff.

I'll shut up now

Well I never knew that! Thanks

I love all chocolate but Galaxy is my fave  

DM no question. Loving the new bars at the moment!

i remember when Mars made their chocolate non veggie - what an uproar!

Galaxy but I wouldn't say no to either.

No need to shut up at all! I thought that was great info - I didn't know any of that, thank you.  

Of course if you'd added Milka & Daim into the equation the answer would have been entirely different..................  

What about the other important question...Coke or Pepsi?

Coke!

Definitely Coca Cola.  

I'm a Pepsi girl

Baba, I saw Milka with Tuc (the crackers) in Holland  . That's soooooo wrong!

Coke, only ever Coke. And it tastes better from the glass bottles!
But not diet or Zero, it has to be full fat or I'd rather have water

You see I don't like the taste of full fat coke, much prefer diet coke. Or cherry diet coke ideally! Love that!
