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’m not a chocolate connoisseur, but I tend to go with Ghirardelli’s, the chocolate that I loved as a child.

However, I do know that in the U.S. we were shortchanged with Cadbury. I tasted a bar in London when I visited years ago and was shocked at how much better it tasted than Cadbury here.
I could really see a difference.

@bijouxbroussard years ago it would have been nice but I think now it probably tastes more like in the us. It's not anywhere near what it was before Kraft bought them.
If you want a taste of how Cadbury should taste you have to eat the flake bars BC I heard they couldn't change the recipe BC it wouldn't work
