A mum was blown away to discover a Dairy Milk bar that's nearly 100 years old hiding underneath her floorboards - in such good nick it's fit to be put straight on the shelves. Emma Young was pulling back the original floorboards in her bathroom while renovating her 1930s home when she noticed what at first appeared to be some rubbish.
But when the 51-year-old grabbed it and brushed the dust away, she unearthed a 'beautiful' rectangular cardboard sleeve with Cadbury's distinctive purple packaging. The inquisitive mum-of-two didn't recognise it, so reached out to the confectionery company to find out more and was stunned to find out it was produced between 1930-1934.
It had hit Britain's shelves and found its way into her home when King George V was monarch, Ramsay MacDonald was prime minister, and at a time when a chocolate bar cost just 6 pence. The chocolate lover said there was no 'treasure' inside and given her home was built in 1932, suspects it was eaten by a builder who then discarded the packaging.
