Imagine receiving an unexpected parcel and upon opening find 3 blocks of Dove Milk Chocolate and a lovely note to say "nobody should be without chocolate"! Oh what total joy this person has made to my day today - for those that do not understand, refer to Post 60370. So it does still exist! Thank you thank you thank you Michael J (SA).

A pleasure Michelle,

You are correct tho'. Dove, in its present format is being
phased out.
I am waiting to hear from the company what/why etc.

Cheers

Thanks Michael - really is is amazing what jobs people here do. Fancy me striking gold and finding my very own Willy Wonka!!!
I tried to call the 1800 number I found on the back of the block to voice my disappointment at the lack of Dove blocks in Perth but couldn't get through! will try later. I want to tell them that ai don't want to buy their Dove in packets of little bite size pieces that seems to be the only option now. I have tried to like Cadbury but even with 1000 new flavours I can't find one that I like.

PS David doesn't like chocolate but he always pesters me for a bit!

Hi Michelle

Yes, Michael J, despite his diasabilities(lol), is a kind and generous friend, who slipped a rather large chocolate block into our shopping basket last week and started me off on a wave of chocolate frenzy(its like giving dope to a junkie).

I AM OFFICIALLY OFF CHOCOLATE NOW(take note M J) for at least a month!!!!

Its been 3 days now.......................................................

Hi Michelle,

Bad news I'm afraid, just spoke to the people that manufacture the Dove chocolate, and the blocks as we know them have finished:(((

Only the little bitey bits now........and they have done "an enormous amount of public survey" Hmmmmmmmmm

I have but a few left now, will savour them:))

Cheers
Michael......another chocoholic.
