Obviously it's Whittaker's answer to the Buzz Bar...

Not sure it will take off though.

Yeah that wasp doesn't look like it's gonna fly away anytime soon.

I was going to say something about it being packed with vitamin bee but the damn thing is a wasp unfortunately.

Still better than Cadbury's

[–]scooter_nz 28ポイント29ポイント  (5子コメント)

Did you know that Cadbury only started going down hill once Kraft purchased them. If your going to boycott a company, boycott all their brands.

Soon to become the Kraft Heinz Company

[–]Speedbird844 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Kraft split itself into Mondelez and 'Kraft USA' a few years ago. IIRC Mondelez owns Cadbury and the international Kraft brands while 'Kraft USA' is a 100% American operation and will soon be merged with Heinz to become 'Kraft Heinz'.

[–]nouncommittee 13ポイント14ポイント  (0子コメント)

They actually went downhill before Kraft purchased them. The quality and cost cutting exercises were probably intended to elicit a higher purchase price from Kraft.

But much of the quality decline was because the NZ Factory produced better stuff than the Australian and UK ones they now import from.

    what the fuck, you can still find Caramilk? That one from the 90s?

    [–]Spiderbling 7ポイント8ポイント  (1子コメント)

    What WHAT when did caramilk come back? Im a true Whittakers convert, but I would backslide to Cadburys only for caramilk. Or that hazelnutty marble stuff. They always take away the good ones :(

    Berry and biscuit.

    Nowhere near the same. Worse than eating dirt. Not good nutrient rich soil either. Dusty dirt that nothing grows in.

    [–]spronkey 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Eh. I'd take Berry and biscuit over Black forest any day. Black forest always seems to get stuck in teeth. It was also somehow better when the squares were... squarer.

    Also, original Old Gold. Best dark chocolate you can get without bankrupting yourself. Imo Whittakers does better milk chocolate, but if I don't avoid that shit completely I end up practically inhaling a block a day.

    [–]spronkey 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Lindt owns dark chocolate. Their 70% Cocoa is by far the best.

    [–]JustSomeSlut 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Lindt makes very good chocolate, certainly their dark is also much better than anything Whittakers makes. If I had to pick a second favourite ~affordable chocolate, it would probably be their dark lime ... but overall I respectfully disagree. The classic Old Gold is better.

    I am so mad about people saying wasps make honey on facebook

    [–]Aceofshovels 8ポイント9ポイント  (5子コメント)

    Alright well I'm gonna check it out anyway, there could be something delicious in there that wasps do make and I want that.

    [–]OctochaetusMultipora 5ポイント6ポイント  (2子コメント)

    Wasps can't make honey because they don't have time when they're working their fingers to the bone. Queen wasps don't have the luxury of owning a colony of slaves like queen bees do (which they euphemistically call "workers"). The poor overworked queen wasp has to build the nest to house her family. She can't call on her slaves to build the nest and feed and rear the children while she lives a life of indolence. The wasp has to hibernate in winter because she doesn't have the capacity to provide herself with enough energy during the winter - not for her the filthy rich life of the queen bee whose slaves have baked great gaudy piles of honey to gorge on over the winter.

    Won't somebody think of the wasps?

    Actually you know, if I was going to have to eat a wasp anyway, this is pretty much how I'd order it up.

    Think I'd still rather eat THAT than Whittaker's chocolate and Marmite! No thanks.

    I was so confused, I thought their new flavour was actually wasp like that shop in mt eden that sells lollies with scorpions in it.

    That sounds interesting, have you tried them?

    [–]tones81 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

    A sharp flavour, one would expect. I expect this will have a bit of a sting to it.

    Taken from a post to their FB page. Their response, not even enough care to contact their own QCM lol:

    Hi Casey, we are so sorry this has happened to your Pear & Manuka Honey block. This is very unusual!! If you could please email our Quality Control Manager Deepika at deepika@whittakers.co.nz she will look into this straight away!

    [–]Flat_Mars_Society 28ポイント29ポイント  (27子コメント)

    I don't think that's a bad response. If they sent her a message on FB, it would go in the dreaded 'other' folder. It makes sense to continue the conversation by email.

    [–]ghost_slug 3ポイント4ポイント  (4子コメント)

    While they definitely need to contact them via email, I think it's pretty poor to redirect them like that. Alternatively they could private message them and ask for their contact details so the QCM can call them directly, for example.

    Mind you, it's pretty poor for the person to just post on facebook. After reading the facebook page I'll take that back, I'm just being a dick

    I don't see how. If companies use Facebook as a customer interface then they should expect to deal with complaints via that interface as well as collecting "likes".

    [–]ghost_slug -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

    I'm not saying they shouldn't expect complaints - that's what I meant when I said they shouldn't be redirecting her, they should be the ones reaching out (if we're getting strict anyway). I guess it's just personal preference though, I've read the post now and it was pretty polite. I take it back
