Cadbury is dead, long live Kraft...

OK, so am thinking have to make some comment on Cadbury here. What to say? Having spent the last 5 months in defense and working on the basis that Cadbury remains independent, we are 3 days in to being owned by Kraft and moving rapidly through the change curve. So what does this mean ? All the coffee machines at work have been changed from Nespresso to Bosch/Cafe Noir/Tassimo. The Nescafe Gold Blend has changed to Kenco. We can now eat Toblerone, Milka and Terry's Chocolate Oranges without guilt, and it turns out just about every biscuit (in Europe) is owned by Kraft. The Kraft Europe senior execs were in Rolle where I work today and things are moving. Kraft have been working on this plan in detail for the last year (at least) and we now have to catch up. For sure there will be some changes, but how quickly and in what direction is not yet clear. In the meantime we can all console ourselves with some extra calories and free coffee which appear to be in plentiful supply right now.

hopefully the chocolate will stay as good!? I'll never forget the white chocolate you shared with us in NYC! Good luck with the job transitions.
