Woman Discovers 100-Years-Old Cadbury's Dairy Milk Under Her Bathroom Floorboards

Everyone has had Cadbury’s Dairy Milk chocolates as a child. The brand has been in business since 1824. While we all are familiar with the latest packaging and taste of the famous chocolate, we haven’t the slightest clue what the sweet looked like before it started coming in its iconic plastic packaging.

Woman Finds 100-Year-Old Dairy Milk Bar Under Her Bathroom Floor

Recently, a mum-of-two found a 100-year-old Cadbury’s Dairy Milk under a floorboard of her house. Emma Young lives in a vintage 1930s house where she found the century-old chocolate bar while renovating her bathroom.

She wanted to initially clean off some dirt under the floorboards but she ended up finding this bar of chocolate lying between some pipes. The rectangular cardboard box had the iconic purple colour the brand is best associated with. The chocolate bar packaging was in “pristine” condition so much so that Young thought she could just pop it on a shelf as it is.?

Young at first left the piece of history as decoration on her mantle piece and tried to gauge the chocolate’s actual age before reaching out to Cadbury who confirmed that the chocolate was a 1930-1934 Cadbury's Dairy Milk.

While The Box Was Still In Good Condition, Young Could Not Get Her Hands On The Chocolate

Young told Mirror, “What stunned me a lot was its condition. It's in such good nick and one side is pristine - you wouldn't believe that it was nearly 100 years old.”

She also explained how the chocolate’s condition wasn’t the worst, “I think because it's so old, I was expecting it to be almost illegible but apart from one side that had been chewed by mice, the other side looks like something you'd put on a shelf. It says 'Cadbury's Dairy Milk chocolate Neapolitan' and 'made in the garden village of Bournville England', it's lovely.”

Even though Young found the 100-year-old treasure, she could not find any pieces of chocolate in the box. She shared, “There's no chocolate inside, someone's had the treasure. It's an obvious sleeve, I think the bar inside would have slid out. The house was built around 1932 and given its age and that the chocolate was only around between 1930-34, I'm wondering if it was a builder having a snack that left it.”
