You’ll find them in every aisle of the supermarket and in dozens of select boxes during the holiday season.
But Britons are divided over which UK chocolate bar is the best of all time – and which is the worst.
Almost everyone appreciates a good chocolate binge, whether as part of a meal or in the form of luxurious sharing bars (which are usually eaten in one sitting).
But the debate over the best and worst option was sparked this week by discount comparison website LatestDeals.co.uk.
When asked on Facebook: “What is the WORST chocolate bar?”, the poll quickly received over 1,000 responses, with people quick to voice their very strong opinions.
Brits are divided over which is the worst chocolate bar of all time, with even some of the most popular favourites making the list.
The chocolates included were Bounty, Turkish Delight, Snickers, Milky Bar, Twix, Crunchie, Cadbury Fruit and Nut, Picnic and Boost.
Mars, Caramac, Milky Way, Double Decker and Picnic also make the list.
In Celebrations jars, Bounty gets a bad rap and often this coconut-filled treat is the last one left in the box.
But it was the British public who had a problem with Fry’s Turkish delight, with one person branding it “absolutely disgusting” and others saying it couldn’t be compared to the real thing.
Turkish Delight (Fry’s) was crowned the most hated chocolate bar, receiving almost half of the votes at 47 percent.
One person said: ‘Fry’s Turkish Delight is absolutely disgusting and shouldn’t be called that.’
They added that they “couldn’t find an emoji” bad enough to express their thoughts on the classic chocolate.
Others said:Fresh product without chocolate is delicious.
One person came to her defence, saying she “loves” the sweet treat but added that she “prefers authentic Turkish delight”.
Bounty came in second with 16 percent of the vote, demonstrating its polarizing nature.
Even the best-known brands were not immune to criticism.
Milky Bar and Snickers each received 7 percent of the vote, with the latter making the list because one person “doesn’t like peanuts.”
The British public were largely against Fry’s Turkish delight, with one person calling it “absolutely disgusting”.
Similarly, another voter chose Picnic as their least favourite because of the raisins. Elsewhere, one person said: “I don’t dislike any of them, but Milky Way is bland.”
Tom Church, co-founder of LatestDeals.co.uk, said: ‘It’s fascinating to see how preferences vary so much when it comes to chocolate.
“While some flavours are appreciated, others clearly do not satisfy everyone. The results certainly spark a debate about the country’s taste buds!”
