Maggie's quest to make magical flakes more available to US citizens



A friend of mine was going to travel to the UK recently and among the things I told her she must do on her trip is to try a vanilla ice cream cone with a Cadbury chocolate "flake".  For those (unfortunate) people who don't know what a "flake" is, it's basically a bunch of chocolate shavings melted together into a stick formation. When inserted into a vanilla ice cream cone it is absolutely mahvelous dahling! Upon telling my friend about this, I wondered whether it was at all possible to get said chocolate flakes easily in the US. So today I went to my local supermarket that has an aisle dedicated to international foods and when I got to the UK/Irish section (yes there is a UK Irish section praise the Lord!) the damn section had no flakes! I was so disappointed! It got me thinking that the US really needs flakes as I couldn't stand the idea that little US children all over the place were missing out on their goodness! I was so bothered by this I went home and Googled "flakes" just to see where you could get them if you wanted them as badly as I do! Apparently, you can get them from Amazon.com (click here) and they deliver "fast"! Still,  I think they should be more apparent/available. So here is my appeal to Cadbury:

Dear Cadbury:

I love the flakes that people put in ice creams very much and I feel like people in the US would benefit so much from their goodness! Please don't let any more children be deprived of this goodness and sell more flakes to more US supermarkets. They're too good not to do this!

Thank you in advance for your help!

Sincerely,

Maggie
