    Thanks, as always, Alan ... for your enlightening explanation. Another ... ... ? possibility I'd been "chewing" over - ( ... there I go again !) - is based on a long-held theory [of MINE ] that supermarket chains MIGHT, from time to time, be given "first refusal" as it were, on batches of sub-standard and/or inferior goods (that manufacturers would otherwise find difficult to dispose of through the normal channels) and thereby, in turn, pass them on in bulk sale to unsuspecting consumers.

    Was just looking through on the topic of Cadburys, Arthur. My theory is that as we get older, everything tastes blander anyway and that incudes chocolate made by Cadburys.
