Answer 1

Crunchie

Crunchie is a brand of British chocolate bar with a honeycomb toffee (or sponge toffee as known in Canada) sugar centre. It is made by Cadbury and was originally launched by J. S. Fry & Sons in 1929.

The Crunchie is sold in several sizes, ranging from "snack size" – a small rectangle – to "king size". The most common portion is a single-serve bar, about 1 inch wide by about 7 inches long, and about 3/4 of an inch deep.

In the late 1960s there was a range of limited edition Crunchies on sale in the UK. These included a lemonade bar and a Tango Orange bar, in which the chocolate contained the different flavourings. A champagne-flavoured bar was launched for New Year's Eve 1999. In South Africa, Cadbury sold a white chocolate version in a blue wrapper until recently.

In 2003, a short-lived bourbon Crunchie was launched in test markets across the Nashville, Tennessee area in partnership with 7-Eleven. The bourbon Crunchie was not well received because of a boycott initiated by western factions of the Southern Baptist Coalition and production was subsequently discontinued.

As is common with other chocolate brands, Crunchie brand ice cream bars and cheesecake are also sold in some countries. Such products contain nuggets of the bar within the ice cream or cheesecake.

In 2006, a "Crunchie Blast" variety of the product was launched, which featured "popping candy" inside the bar. However, it was discontinued shortly afterwards. However, an ice cream of the same name, which is Magnum (ice cream) shaped honey comb ice cream with popping candy covered in milk chocolate is sold in the UK and Ireland.

In 2010, Cadbury's launched Crunchie Rocks, a mixture of chocolate, cornflakes and Crunchie.

Until September 2010, Crunchie was produced in the Somerdale, Keynsham plant in Somerset, UK; however, production has now transferred to Cadbury's new plant in Skarbimierz, Poland. Labels for these products do not state a country of origin, instead stating "Made in the EU under licence from Cadbury UK Ltd".

Curly Wurly

Curly Wurly is a brand of chocolate bar currently manufactured by Cadbury UK and sold in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Malta, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Romania, South Africa, Malaysia, U.A.E and the United Kingdom. It was launched in the UK in 1970. Its shape resembles two flattened, intertwined serpentine strings. The bar is made of chocolate-coated caramel.

This design was created by David John Parfitt a long-serving research confectioner based at the Bournville factory, while he was experimenting with some surplus toffee from another piece of work. It was launched in 1970.

Versions of the chocolate have been released in other countries. A French version of the Curly Wurly was available in the 1970s and early 1980s under the name "3 Mousquetaires". A Canadian version, known as the "Wig Wag", was available in the 1970s. In the US, it was marketed as the "Marathon" in the 1970s and 1980s; see below. The German versions were called "3 Musketiers" and "Leckerschmecker", the Dutch version was called "Curly Wurly". A Swedish version was called "Loop", released in 2011 under the Swedish brand Marabou (also owned by Kraft). Cadbury also marketed a U.S. version of the Curly Wurly itself in the 1970s.

A US version, called "Marathon", was manufactured by Mars Inc and first sold in August 1973. The bright red packaging had printed on it a ruler with inch (8) and cm (20) markings on the reverse demonstrating that it was as long as it claimed. It was discontinued in October 1981, though similar products remain on the market.

In the UK, the Marathon was a chocolate covered peanut bar in a brown packet with blue lettering, also manufactured by Mars Inc. It was eventually renamed Snickers.

Daim bar

Daim

The Daim bar (formerly Dajm in the Nordic Countries and Dime in the British Isles) is a Swedish candy bar made from crunchy almond toffee covered in milk chocolate. It is similar to Hershey's Heath and Skor bars.

Daim was created by Marabou in Sweden in the 1950s. Marabou originally wanted to produce a version of the American Heath Co.'s bar; its vice president Lars Anderfelt inquired about licensing Heath's exact recipe. The Heath Co. refused but gave Anderfeldt a list of their ingredients. From this, Marabou created their own recipe, testing it in in 1952 with great success. It was launched under the name "Dajm" throughout Sweden and Norway the next year,Finland in 1963, and Denmark in 1971. It was renamed "Daim" in most countries in 1990, although it continued to be marketed in the British Isles as "Dime". The brand was purchased by Kraft Foods in 1993 and is now held by Mondelez International, which Kraft spun off in 2012. The same year, its British and Irish factories began to use the spelling "Daim" as well.

A mid-1990s television commercial campaign for the chocolate bar in the United Kingdom featured the comedian Harry Enfield. In 2007, a 'Limited Edition Cappuccino' Daim bar was released. A limited edition forest fruit bar has also been released, as well as gingerbread Daim, Coke Daim, white chocolate Daim, dark chocolate Daim, blueberry Daim, lemon/orange Daim and mint Daim. Daim bars imported from Sweden (manufactured in Upplands Väsby) have been sold in IKEA stores in many countries.

Answer 5

Double Decker (chocolate bar)

Double Decker

Double Decker is a brand of chocolate bar currently manufactured by Cadbury. First introduced in the UK in 1976, its name derives from the double-decker bus, and these vehicles have sometimes appeared in advertisements for the product.

The chocolate bar is structured in two layers; a lightly-whipped nougat layer, with a lower layer of cereal 'crispies', these are then coated in milk chocolate. Originally the bar contained raisins within the base layer; however, consumer research in the mid-1980s led to these being removed and the current formulation being introduced. Television commercials in the 1970s featured Willie Rushton before a mascot named Dougie the Double Decker Dog was introduced.

The bar has a mass of approximately 54.5g. This increased from 42g in the 1970s and 51g in the 1980s, to a peak of 60g before attaining the current weight. It typically contains 9.9g of fat, 38g of carbohydrates, 2.3g of protein and 1060kJ (250kcal) of energy. The Double Decker no longer contains hydrogenated oil. The bar is manufactured in Poland.

There also existed a 'Double Decker – Nuts' launched in 2004, which had the advertising slogan "crispy, crunchy, chewy and nutty". This chocolate bar was essentially a Double Decker with nuts contained within the nougat layer; however, it has since been discontinued. At the time it was distinctly aimed at males, and featured in Coronation Street credits during 2004. In August 2016 Cadbury launched Dinky Deckers as part of the Bite Size bag range which are mini Cadbury Double Deckers available in a 120g pouch bag.

In 2009, the bar received a packaging revamp for the first time since 2004. Also a Cadbury Double Decker Duo product was launched, two smaller 40 g (1.4 oz) Double Decker bars in one pack. The next packaging redesign of the standard Double Decker bar was in 2013 when Cadbury's elliptical logo was scrapped, replaced with a new modern triangular logo device. In December 2015, the wrapper was changed again. The purple was made slightly lighter and extended to cover half the bar while other changes included a revamped logo. Discount stores now also stock the 40g bars, but packaged individually, in outer packs of 4.

Drifter (chocolate)

Drifter

Drifter is a biscuit. Drifter was launched by Rowntree's in 1980, consisting of a biscuit wafer with caramel layered on top. The biscuit is now produced by Nestlé following their takeover of Rowntree's in 1988.

90 million bars are produced each year, but are becoming increasingly hard to find in most parts of the United Kingdom. Amongst its advertising slogans, it has been referred to as "the chewy chocolate bar that you really have to get your teeth into."

In 2007 Drifter was discontinued by Nestlé before being reintroduced in May 2008, enjoying a similar act of nostalgia as Cadbury's Wispa bar.

In June 2011 McDonald's introduced a limited edition Drifter McFlurry which was available from 15 June until 26 July 2011.

Eat-More

Eat-More is a chocolate bar made by Hershey. It consists of dark toffee, peanuts and chocolate, and its slogan is "Dive into the unique taste of chewy dark toffee, peanut and chocolate.". It was created in Canada by the Lowney company, which was acquired by Hershey Canada on July 1, 1987 from Nabisco Ltd.

It is chewy and comes in a yellow wrapper. It is also rectangular and flat, and "stretches" when you eat it.

A caramel version was also launched in 1995 which replaced the dark toffee of the original with caramel of similar consistency. It was the same size and shape as the original Eat-More, but it came in a copper coloured wrapper. The caramel version has since been discontinued.

Fazer Blue

Karl Fazer Milk Chocolate

Karl Fazer Milk Chocolate, commonly known as Fazer Blue (Finnish: Fazerin Sininen), is a Finnish brand of milk chocolate owned by the Fazer corporation. The common name derives from the iconic blue color of its wrapper, which is a registered trademark of the Fazer corporation.

Fazer Blue is often measured to be the most sold confectionery in Finland. It also regularly polls as the most respected brand among Finns, particularly in polls conducted by the magazine Markkinointi & Mainonta and the polling organization Taloustutkimus OY.

The chocolate is widely considered a part of Finnish cultural heritage and cuisine. It owes its unique taste to the use of fresh milk in production, as opposed to powdered and condensed milk commonly used in chocolate manufacturing. Compared to other chocolates, Fazer Blue also has a relatively high milk concentration.

The chocolate is sold in various forms and amounts, ranging from 200 g (7.1 oz) slabs to boxes of confectionery pieces.

The chocolate was brought to market in 1922. According to the Fazer corporation, the Swiss recipe was a gift to the Fazer family from an Englishman. The recipe has remained unchanged since.

In 2001, the Fazer Blue color, Pantone C 280     , became Finland's first color trademark.

Flake (chocolate bar)

Flake

Flake is a brand of chocolate bar currently manufactured by Cadbury and consists of thinly folded milk chocolate.

The product was first developed in 1920 and was serendipitously discovered by an employee of Cadbury's at the Bournville factory who noticed thin streams of excess chocolate falling from moulds cooled into flaky ripples.

By 1930, Cadbury's was selling half-length Flake specifically for prodding into vanilla soft serve ice cream in a cone ("99 Flakes") which was served by ice cream vendors. First sold in Britain, they would later be sold in Ireland, Australia, South Africa and other nations. Screwballs are similar but have a plastic cone rather than a wafer.

Several varieties of Flake have been produced over the years, including:

The product gained some notoriety for its highly sensual advertising. In the UK, the adverts showed people - almost always women - enjoying a Flake whilst relaxing.

The Flake Girl became famous as a symbol of indulgence and secret pleasure. Her emphasis - to a raspingly emotional jingle ("Only the crumbliest, flakiest chocolate, tastes like chocolate never tasted before"), voted third most memorable of all time, - was on allowing herself a guilt-free luxury. However, many saw in the delicacy with which she nibbled the crumbly chocolate bar, more than a hint of sexual pleasure. In the 1970s, an advert was taken off air following complaints about the suggestive manner in which the woman bit into the bar.

The Flake song was composed by UK jingle writer Ronnie Bond who also composed "Tasty tasty very very tasty" for Bran Flakes, and "I'd rather have a bowl of Coco Pops" for Coco Pops. Ronnie has recently released the album "Songs in the Key of F".

In 1983, UK prog-rock band Twelfth Night included an impromptu song as part of an encore, to the tune of the flake jingle, "Only the crumbliest, flakiest skin, remains on your body after nuclear war...".
