Cadbury Freddo - 4 Pack

Freddo belongs to the pocket-money end of British chocolate, the bar you chose yourself with a fistful of coins while a grown-up waited at the door. It sits in the same corner-shop memory as a Curly Wurly or a Fudge: small, cheap to want, and impossible to forget.

In Canada, people tend to come looking for it for someone else. A parent who wants their kids to have the same frog they had, or a grandparent who has been describing it for years and would like some proof.

This is a pack of four bars, so there is one for each lunchbox, or one for you and three you will be asked about. Keep them somewhere cool and out of the sun, because a melted frog is a sad frog. They go into party bags, after-school snacks and the glovebox, briefly.

A Freddo rarely travels alone. Most people who reach for one pick up a bar of Dairy Milk on the way past, telling themselves it is for later.
