Chocolate is nasty now

It started with the Cadbury bars a few years ago, they wouldn't melt right and they taste weird like there's gum or starch in it or something. Now lindt tastes the same.
I'm actually chucking out a lindt bunny for the first time in my entire life because it tastes awful. Not sweet, not chocolatey, just a faint hint of cheap tasting chocolate (like advent calendar chocolate from the nintees) and this bizarre starchy taste and texture. Am I imagining it?

I believe some Lindt products (namely chocolate boxes) went down already a few years ago. But I'm still not sure if I just had too much of it and it lost its appeal or the quality really went down. But generally, Lindt isn't worth its price. You can get better stuff for less money.

@CrazyMusicLover Lindt definitely overcharge, I can only buy it on offer. But I'm properly put off chocolate at this point
Won't be buying it any more

@Vengabus I bought Snickers the other day because it was on discount and with this brand it's always hit or miss. Sometimes it tastes perfect, other times it's quite crappy. Maybe it depends on how fresh it is and how it was stored.

The brand I currently like the most is J.D. Gross. Considering that their products are presented as cheap knock-offs they are in fact very good. Merci is fine too and also this one from Kaufland.

@CrazyMusicLover oh yeah, I'll probably check Lidl and try some different brands out. J.d. gross is nice
