They’re the reason you don’t work on bank holidays… and 11 other things you never knew about Cadbury’s

CADBURY is probably one of the most-loved British companies – and for good reason.

They provide us with the chocolate-y goodness that we all grew up one, and sometimes all you need is chunk of Dairy Milk to get you through a tough day.

But just how much do you know about the iconic brand?

Here are 12 things you probably didn’t know about the famous chocolatiers.

They gave you bank holidays off

Cadbury were the pioneering company to stop working on Bank Holidays, adopting the custom of closing the factory on bank holidays.

Thanks for the extra lie in, Cadburys.

Purple wasn’t always their colour

Cadbury wasn't always that rich signature purple and gold wrapping we all know and love.

In fact, until 1920, the chocolate was wrapped in a pale mauve with red script.

But, they went on to patent that iconic purple

The purple colour, named Pantone 2685c, was initially owned by Cadbury.

Cool, right?
