Our 2nd cache hide (2008).
This Cache is located beside Cadburys in Coolock, which has been making choclate there since 1932. It is in a Cul De Sac, which can be accessed by car from the Oscar Traynor road. Apparently, in production, a glass and a half of milk goes into making each standard bar of Cadbury's dairy milk chocolate.
It is wrapped in black cloth and contained the following when placed:
€5 UCI voucher for FTF.
Log and pencil.
Mini Darth Vader.
US quarter.
SOME HISTORY AND FACTS:
Cadburys was started in the UK in 1824 by John Cadbury and in 1847 he took on his brother Benjamin as a partner.
In 1905/1906 Cadbury Brothers introduced a new recipe for milk chocolate, marketed under the name Cadbury Dairy Milk, which has remained a mainstay of its product line ever since.
The actual inventor of eating chocolate is unknown. However in 1847, Fry & Sons of Bristol, who eventually merged with Cadbury limited in 1919, sold a ‘chocolate delicieux a manger’. Many people credit this as the first chocolate bar. John Cadbury produced his first bar in 1849 and went on to produce fruit flavoured centres covered with chocolate – the first chocolate assortments.
Milk Chocolate:
Up to this point in history only dark chocolate had been made, but in 1875 a Swiss manufacturer, Danial Peters of Vevey, produced the first milk chocolate bar using powdered milk. The Cadbury brothers followed suit and monitored Vevey’s progress as he eventually mastered producing a product using condensed milk. The public loved it and milk chocolate began to dominate the market. Cadburys currently uses 227,000 litres of milk a day in Ireland producing milk choclate.
