Cadbury set to change 'Fruit & Nut' recipe
What's the story
Cadbury has decided to give a twist to its Fruit and Nut bar after 90 years
As a part of the change, Cadbury has decided to add sultanas for the first time to bring in variety to the classic flavour. Along with it, the almonds and raisins will stay too.
However, the 'Fruit and Nut' enthusiasts took to Twitter to express their outrage.

New Coke a marketing failure
Coca-Cola was reformulated as New Coke in the spring of 1985.
This was done to counter the rising popularity of Pepsi.
However, the New Coke was a marketing failure with the American public not being receptive; in fact, it was hostile to the new flavour.
This led to the subsequent reintroduction within three months later of original Coke flavour re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic".

Maggi's new flavour fails to impress consumers
In 2008, Maggi introduced the new Beef, Oriental, and Curry flavours in New Zealand.
This flavour contained a package of dehydrated vegetables.
Maggi claimed that flavour contained "88% less total fat and 86% less saturated fat" than its average competitors.
However, it had a 31% increased salt content which became the reason why it failed to impress the consumers who wanted the original back.

Change in Creme Eggs recipe leaves Britain fuming
Cadbury allegedly changed the recipe of the shell of Creme Eggs which had been a British savoury for 52 years.
Consumers complained that Cadbury had begun using a standard cocoa mix rather than Dairy Milk for the chocolate.
Consumers were left disappointed and complained that the chocolate tasted cheap.
The company also cut down the number of eggs in box from 6 to 5.

Consumers hate the new 'Milo'
Nestle introduced the new flavour of its classic Kiwi hot drink Milo but the consumers were less than thrilled.
Nestle added "vitamin D, B3, B6, B12 and took out vitamins A, B1 and magnesium and vanilla flavouring" and said the new variant was healthier.
However, a Facebook page 'Change Milo Back to the old recipe' prompted tons of outrage, with people calling it "disgusting"
