The spokesperson of the Cadbury told that the original Time Out - which consisted of rippled milk chocolate between two wafers, coated in Dairy Milk milk chocolate - is no longer in production and will soon disappear from shelves. But one thing is for sure, the Time Out Bar will be replaced with a promising new version of the candy, in accordance also with the Cadbury Spoke person.
The recall of the candies from the market starts on February though the sales of Time Out Bar candies had actually declined for some time since its introduction in 1992.
According to the Telegraph, back in 2010, this bar was given a makeover since it failed to take off with the public. With its lighter blue packaging, the bar had a slogan saying "Everybody needs a Time Out". It failed to get a good impression to the public so the original packaging had a comeback just months later.
The Cadbury Company was taken over by American confectionary giant Kraft in 2010 which made unpopular changes to its many products ever since.
Metro UK reports that last 2015, there was a huge public outrage when the consumers found out that Dairy Milk Chocolate was no longer being used for the shell of crème eggs. In 2014, another controversy erupted when the decision to ditch the Bournville chocolate from the Heroes tub, in favour of Toblerone happened.
The editor of Kennedy's Confection magazine, Angus Kennedy, told the Daily Mail at the time: "To replace Bourneville with Toblerone is unpatriotic. It's like replacing the fish in fish and chips with mussels."
A single-finger version called "Time Out Wafer" is being tried in some markets to replace the Time Out Bar.
