Cadbury is one of the world's most beloved chocolate brands, founded by John Cadbury in 1824 in Birmingham, England, originally as a shop selling tea, coffee, and drinking chocolate. The company grew into a major confectionery manufacturer under the leadership of John's sons, Richard and George Cadbury, who established the famous Bournville factory and model village for workers in 1879. Cadbury is renowned for its Dairy Milk chocolate bar, first introduced in 1905, which remains the brand's flagship product and the best-selling chocolate bar in the UK. Other iconic products include Cadbury Creme Egg, Cadbury Roses, Cadbury Flake, Cadbury Wispa, and Cadbury Fingers. The brand's distinctive purple packaging and flowing script logo are recognized worldwide. Cadbury was acquired by Kraft Foods in 2010 in a controversial takeover, and now operates under Mondelez International. Despite the change in ownership, Cadbury maintains its strong brand identity and heritage, particularly in the UK, Ireland, Australia, India, and other Commonwealth countries. The brand is especially associated with Easter through its Creme Eggs and chocolate eggs, and with Christmas through its selection boxes and advent calendars.
