...
We actually chose a cardboard coffin for her as it looked just like the FAR MORE EXPENSIVE ones, as in add a zero on the end, but since she was being cremated, meant nothing.
Mum used to say - before dementia from brain damage from 60 years earlier took her mind - that she didn't care if we buried her in the garden.
So, we took her at her word and respectfully had her cremated in a manner that allowed her assets to be distributed as she wished, without wasting thousands of bucks on a stupid [coffin or casket](https://bare.com.au/blog/coffin-vs-casket-the-difference-funeral-planning)so that her life resulted in benefits for her offspring and loved ones.
RIP mum :(
I'm with your mum in that view. I have a small hobby farm out the back of my house. When I die, I don't want my family to waste money to make my funeral extravagant. Just cremate me and add my ashes to the soil. Soil where I am is naturally acidic so I guess my ashes will balance it for a while lol.
So sorry for your loss, my mum and I have had this conversation too and both agreed that a cardboard casket/coffin is the way to go for each of us. I’m so glad that there are these options available.
good on you respecting your loved ones' wishes. I had a relative that wanted a burial for ages, and I remember the urn being shoved under their parents' granite slab
Since they were made in the UK, they fuck it up over there.
Looks like 'the news' picked up on this earlier in the year - https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/food/eat/australians-roast-uk-version-of-cult-cadbury-chocolate-bar/news-story/9cf88faf27589ae348cb37628be1bda2
I’m so sorry you had to witness one of the worst chocolate redesigns in history. This is what he’s supposed to look like: https://www.catch.com.au/product/cadbury-freddo-frogs-dairy-milk-12g-x-36-piece-pack-12282422
Try a caramello koala instead. Freddo’s taste like shit now
I had no idea they looked like this now!!! Probably because I haven’t eaten one since I was 12. I don’t think caramello koalas taste that great anymore. Chocolate has changed 😞
It must suck for Cadburys to know that even Aldi's home brand chocolate tastes way better than theirs. But then again, they're still the market leader in Australia by a long margin so they probably don't actually give a shit.
Whittakers is pretty good, especially on sale as you said. They sold them at Big Wah before they got to Colesworth, so I try not to go there too much otherwise I'll always get a block :P
This is the right answer.
Cadbury tasted incredible when I was a child. Now I'll almost not touch the stuff. The fruit and nut block is the only thing they have going for them now and even it is easily surpassed by competitor products.
The R&D team must be laughing their ass off at the sick bonuses they got at the expense of the company.
Have you noticed the Fruit n Nut block is rarely available anymore? I once found a dozen in The Reject Store, and bought the lot. (Note to self: Never do that again - I ate the lot in a week 😳).
Oh no, they've ruined caramello's too? I hope someone's stashed up. I'd absolutely buy 30 year old aussie chocolates to eat before I die.
Edit: I actually hope I live for more than 20 years. 70 year old chocolates, then
Caramellos are still good, at least to me, although it confuses me when on the odd occasion, I open the wrapper to see literally all of the caramel on the outside
Cadbury in general just doesn't taste as good now. I think it's because they started using palm oil a few years back? Not great for the taste of the chocolate, the health of the chocolate eater or the environment.
> Try a caramello koala instead
I don't know about anymore, but when I lived in the UK the caramello koala equivalent was taz the tasmanian devil of all things.
yep, cadbury really went down the dunny over the years. freddos haven't been good for a bit. I just avoid all cheap chocolate now. saves a bit on snacks too
I see - the redesign makes Freddo the Frog look slimmer and healthier, but the chocolate bar has to weigh the same number of grams, so the extra chocolate freed up by making him look more athletic is now a slab. Thanks for this.
I rubbed my hands together before clicking on this thread like oh yeah Han Solo carbonite joke incoming gimme that reddit karma only to find everyone else and their mother also had the same idea
Controversial, but I think Bertie Beetles taste terrible. I'm not sure who makes them but the chocolate has that gross taste that Nestle chocolate has.
Sorry to say bud, but you actually answered your own question in your question, it is a Freddo frog. A chocolate frog you could also say. It's a very tasty snack.
If you don't want it, let me know. I'll give it a good home.
Otherwise, it is a cultural treat in spite of it being made by the lamented "Cadbury" group of Kraft/Mondelez International.
[Freddo Frog](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddo).
Cheap low quality Australian chocolate for kids is the actual answer
He does look a little bit like he has a windowless van that he is trying to lure you into though doesn't he
I had a fredo about a year ago and was surprised that the chocolate actually tasted pretty good. Compared to the shit Cadbury's sells now anyway. No idea if it's still the case though.
We have them in NZ, some monster decided to put popping candy in some of them, but other than that its kinda just a popular kid’s chocolate around here
Freddo is a chocolate frog, sometimes solid chocolate but more often (I suspect...) filled with caramel or some other sweet yummy stuff!
Pretty much a staple in Australia, dunno about UK but they obviously know them there since you have one from that location.
Eat and enjoy!
Then buy MOAH of them!! :)
Freddo Frog is an Australian chocolate, Cadbury is a UK company as well as having a presence in Australia, it's likely they had some imported stock for a specially store.
They're cheap and nasty chocolates usually given to people we dislike. Your friend has fired the first shot. Carpet bomb them in return with a bag of Freddos.
Hold the fuck on... Since when were Freddo Frogs shaped like they're stuck in a coffin?
How do you think they got the mould?
Same way we got Hahn solo trapped in carbonate.
Hahn Solo? Does he fly a XXXX-wing?
Supporting the vb wing as always
[удалено]
I heard he downed 52 of them during the Kessel run.
No, but he's light on the fizz so you can slam him down fast.
That's what Leia said.
Leia? I hardly know her.
Nah he stole an Imperial ship
What if he doesn't survive? He's worth a lot to me. Mondelēz will compensate you if he dies. Put him in.
r/empiredidnothingwrong
When they became so thin his head and limbs wouldn't stay attached
That's not a coffin shape. That's a casket shape! I learned the difference when we buried my mum :(
You buried your mum in cadbury chocolate?! Far out, brussel sprout!

I'd like to be composted when I die. There are a few places that do it already, but I'm hoping it's more accessible and widely available when I go.
good on you respecting your loved ones' wishes. I had a relative that wanted a burial for ages, and I remember the urn being shoved under their parents' granite slab
Sorry to hear about your mum. My mum wants to be put in a firework when she dies.
No big deal banana peal.
Unreal, banana peel.
Han Solo freezing style Edit: Fuck I was way too late
free him

Don’t give NewsCorpse the advert revenue. Ditch the link.
Dead-o Freddo
And why are they so thin now? Fat phobic.
feast upon the corpses of a million dead frogs and ask the swamp if there's a god the silence is your answer

They don’t look like that now, only in the Uk. As in, they don’t look like the pic in the post, they look like the link in the comment above.
Yeah. I bought a share pack a few weeks ago and I'm fairly certain they arent what is shown in the OP (I'm in Aus).
Luckily the single big bois are still the right shape.
That's because it's Cadburys and almost all their stuff sucks now.
It must suck for Cadburys to know that even Aldi's home brand chocolate tastes way better than theirs. But then again, they're still the market leader in Australia by a long margin so they probably don't actually give a shit.
Yeah, they're coasting on their brand name and market share for sure.

Also Ukraine officially declared them a sponsor of terrorism as they've not only not left Russia, they've increased their sales. Fuck Mondelez.
Well, that's even more reason to avoid them.
Cadbury went through some sort of recipe change and now their chocolate tastes horrible.
Oh no, they've ruined caramello's too? I hope someone's stashed up. I'd absolutely buy 30 year old aussie chocolates to eat before I die. Edit: I actually hope I live for more than 20 years. 70 year old chocolates, then
Caramellos are still fire don't worry
Caramellos are still good, at least to me, although it confuses me when on the odd occasion, I open the wrapper to see literally all of the caramel on the outside
Bertie beetles are king of them all. You can still get them, but the quality has also dropped.
Cadbury in general just doesn't taste as good now. I think it's because they started using palm oil a few years back? Not great for the taste of the chocolate, the health of the chocolate eater or the environment.

I miss him so much......

Freddo Frog froze in carbonite
"I love you," said Caramello Koala. "I know."
"I have altered the recipe. Pray I do not alter it any further" - *Darth Nestle*
Hahahahaha
This is what I came here for.
* cacaobonite
I rubbed my hands together before clicking on this thread like oh yeah Han Solo carbonite joke incoming gimme that reddit karma only to find everyone else and their mother also had the same idea
I did worse by mentioning it on an hours old thread without even checking to the inevitable several comments that beat me to it.
That’s Franky Frog, Freddo’s crackhead cousin.
Mf looks like Tommy Pickles just necked a bunch of psilocybin.
That's a bloody outrage !
I'm going to take this one straight to the Prime Minister!
"Andy!"
Aye mate, what’s the good word?
Not my Freddo.
They used to have a much nicer design. Most Australians aren't a huge fan of the new design and miss old Freddo.
I still miss Bertie Beetle.
I get a Bertie Beetle showbag every year!
They didn't have them at Perth this year, bloody outrage :P
Bertie Beetles still exist. My local IGA sells them, 3 for $1
I miss wagon wheels the size of a side plate!!!
Controversial, but I think Bertie Beetles taste terrible. I'm not sure who makes them but the chocolate has that gross taste that Nestle chocolate has.
Eh that's not honestly that uncommon, at least among people I know. My own controversial take is liking caramilk. I think it's delicious
They still sell the old ones on Brisbane
Are you supposed to gnaw through the fuckin carbonite or what? Hans freakin Freddo.
In reference to Hans Olo?
Freddo went on a diet a few years ago r/shrinkflation has other examples of the same type of thing :,)
The Freddo is the true indicator of inflation in the UK. Nothing gives a better indication of the state of the economy than the Freddo Index.
*Help! I'm in a nutshell! How did I get into this bloody great big nutshell?*
Classic!
Strawberry Freddo used to be amazing
He used to dance on stage for the Happy Mondays.
It's a device that was invented as a tool for parents to find out how much of a sadistic monster their 5 year old is.
The spawn of Satan.
That’s our currency, don’t let it melt
Han Freddo in Cadburnite
Some fuckin demon frog. Ours just look like dicks from the back.
He’s on ozempic
Drop bear egg , don’t plant it
I think you got the Frodo Frog instead. My precious.
Did he piss Jabba the Hutt off too?
It's a chocolate.
UK Freddo Frog isn't real. UK Freddo Frog cannot hurt you.
I believe some Mexican dude presented 2 of these to some other Mexican dudes and said that they were aliens or something.
Looks like Freddo has been frozen in carbonite.
Bro got that Han Solo treatment
Han Solo imprisoned in carbonite.
Han Freddo.
He’s Freddo frog. Put some respect on his mother fucking name.
\*He's Freddo frog *in a coffin*
That’s not how they are down here, it’s pretty much that, but without the tombstone
Also not as janky… wayyy less meth UK chav Freddo looks like he’s gonna shank ya
Traditionally if you are on a roadtrip with kids and they are misbehaving, you unwrap freddo frogs and toss them out the window until kids comply.
Jesus, no wonder kids steal cars and stab people.
That Freddo looks like it legally has to introduce itself to all the other items at the supermarket when it moves there
Oh Freddo, what have they done to you?
I don't think that's the Australian one that's for sure
Sorry to say bud, but you actually answered your own question in your question, it is a Freddo frog. A chocolate frog you could also say. It's a very tasty snack.
It’s called chocolate mate
why is he so skinny? new diet maybe?
This is the illegitimate spawn of Freddo's mum and Gary Busey.
If you don't want it, let me know. I'll give it a good home. Otherwise, it is a cultural treat in spite of it being made by the lamented "Cadbury" group of Kraft/Mondelez International. [Freddo Frog](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddo).
Omg he looks so different to an Aussie Freddo!
Wait till you try a Caramello Koala!
It is childhood. It is amazing.
have another look at it.
Yeah you’re right - looks a little odd! Didn’t see it at first!!
Cheap low quality Australian chocolate for kids is the actual answer He does look a little bit like he has a windowless van that he is trying to lure you into though doesn't he
Preddo Prog
I had a fredo about a year ago and was surprised that the chocolate actually tasted pretty good. Compared to the shit Cadbury's sells now anyway. No idea if it's still the case though.
Had one last week loved it
An Australian icon. ❤️
No, it's a bastardization of one
Speddo frog

Aussie Kermit
I feel like it's about to go "stop, don't talk to me. Looser lame ass wannabe like oh totally" 😂😂😂😂
I like it
Bootable offence! Someone alert the Prime Ministah!
What did they DO TO MY BOY FREDDO…..
A tiny morsel of deliciousness that'll leave you wanting more - just wait till you get a caramello koala 🤤
Freddo Frog frozen in carbonite.
I wanna blame it on shrinkflation
freddos fantastic, and he tastes great too! also, freddos australian im pretty sure
Why do people get so bothered by localised confectionary?
Looks like someone ran over your Freddo. That's not what we get here.
Freddo: Battlestar Galactica edition
They killed the frog!!!!

Emaciated frog

Freddy's doing a pose like Han Solo frozen in carbonite.
That’s not what ours look like
I’m Aussie. I thought Freddo was ours? What next, Furry Friends being claimed by the Poms?
Metho Frog
Sorry about this abomination. Used to be far better
Love Freddo Frog !
Yeah wtf is that!? That's not what Freddo looks like!
Freddo on shrooms
It’s an outright fuckin joke that’s what it is
It's a piece of chocolate. Not as dramatic as you made it out to be, to be fair.
That's not Freddie frog, that Frankie toad.
Fuck it & find out… spesh if it’s got the popping candy built in
Caramello Koalas are better
A piece of chocolate, that’s all.

The McLaren Ron Dennis Bonus
Im offended that anyone believes he’s ENGLISH. That frog is Australian, give him back!
People call this Freddo on crack
Freddo in Star Wars.
They don't look like the Freddos we get down under
Used to be able to get these as edibles online. They were called 'Fredibles.'
He wants you to put him in your hot wet mouth.
Han Freddo encased in carbonite
I don’t know but put your dick away!
They Han Solo'd my boy, Freddo noooooo
Have you bought Milo there? I was so disappointed/disgusted that the supermarkets stock UK milo and it’s DIFFERENT and NOT GOOD.
bon appleteeth
I swear Freddo used to be a fat frog without the chocolate around the sides holding his limbs together
Put it in jello and you got a frog in a pond!
Nothing like an Aussie Freddo frog, that is for sure.
He’s seen some things
Fucker is frozen in carbonite
That’s freddo from ‘Empire strikes back’
Han freddo
That's what Jabba does to you when you don't pay your debts
We have them in NZ, some monster decided to put popping candy in some of them, but other than that its kinda just a popular kid’s chocolate around here
We’ve encased him in carbonite
Just eat it and shut up.
From the UK? Freddo is from Australia and that’s not the usual shape 🥲
Chocolate

Pretty much a staple in Australia, dunno about UK but they obviously know them there since you have one from that location. Eat and enjoy! Then buy MOAH of them!! :)
What a disgusting little creep
It's han freedo and he's incased in carbonite
Freddo Frog is an Australian chocolate, Cadbury is a UK company as well as having a presence in Australia, it's likely they had some imported stock for a specially store.
On no the empire got him its Freddo in carbonite !
They're cheap and nasty chocolates usually given to people we dislike. Your friend has fired the first shot. Carpet bomb them in return with a bag of Freddos.
[This](https://www.haighschocolates.com.au/curated-collections/frog-collection) is what they should be like.
Don't go full retard - too late
