The Cherry Ripe is a popular chocolate bar made by Cadbury Australia. It was first created in 1924 by an Australian company called MacRobertson's. This makes it one of Australia's oldest chocolate bars still around today! It's also one of the most popular chocolate bars sold in the country.
A Cherry Ripe bar is made of sweet cherries and coconut. These yummy ingredients are covered in rich dark chocolate.
Discovering Cherry Ripe's Journey
How Cherry Ripe Became Part of Cadbury
In 1967, a big chocolate company called Cadbury bought MacRobertson's, the original makers of Cherry Ripe. Even after this change, Cadbury kept making Cherry Ripe. They also continued to produce other popular MacRobertson's treats like Freddo, Old Gold, and Snack.
The Wrapper's Story
For many years, the Cherry Ripe wrappers still showed the old MacRobertson's company logo. This special logo stayed on the wrappers until 2002. It was a cool way to remember where this classic chocolate bar came from!
