Taste of Cadbury's new £1 chocolate bar divides B&M shoppers

It seems the opinion of UK chocolate lovers are split over Cadbury's new tropical bar. The confectionary giant has released a new Dairy Milk chocolate bar with a 'tropical pineapple' flavour.

While the 180g bar contains the classic Dairy Milk milk chocolate, it is the 'flowing tropical pineapple flavoured centre' that has sparked a debate. It will be on sale in B&M stores across the country and has left fans in 'love it' or 'hate it' camps, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Posting on its Facebook page, B&M said: "You know it's summer when even chocolate bars get fruity! This NEW offering from Cadbury has flown into store now - and begs the question; Pineapple on chocolate - yes or no!?"

In reply to the news on the Snack News & Reviews Facebook page, Dylan Bettle said: "I haven't had it on pizza but I'd have pineapple in chocolate," while Benny Dowse wrote: "That sounds lush."

Karren Whittinghsam seemed fond of the new confectionary and wrote: "Oh my...in need of this muchly...mighty fine scran," while Gail Mellor exclaimed: "Omg I would love this."

However, not everyone is convinced. Amanda Davies wrote: "I love any sort of chocolate. But I don't fancy this! This is a first for me to refuse chocolate," while Janet Sayle wrote: "Stop messing with chocolate!!!"

Some took the opportunity to point out their distaste with how Cadbury's prices its novelty chocolate bars. Adam Meaney wrote: "Problem is they're usually at an extortionate price," while Cherrelle Douglas wrote: "This sounds nice but is it worth the price."

The tropical pineapple Dairy Milk bar will reportedly be on sale in B&M for £1 per 180g bar. Since the Birmingham-based chocolate manufacturer was taken over by US company Kraft in 2010, it has received a wave of criticism for producing what some have described as gimmick-like flavours as part of its range of beloved chocolate bars.
