Freddo

Freddo is a popular chocolate bar brand that originated in Australia and is now available in many parts of the world. It is produced by Cadbury, a British multinational confectionery company wholly owned by Mondelez International.

History

The Freddo brand was first introduced in 1930 by the MacRobertson's chocolate company in Australia. The chocolate bar was named after the company's founder, Sir Macpherson Robertson's, pet frog. In 1967, Cadbury acquired MacRobertson's, and with it, the Freddo brand.

Product Description

Freddo bars are shaped like a cartoon frog, which is also the brand's mascot. The standard Freddo bar is made from milk chocolate, but variations of the product include white chocolate, dark chocolate, and bars filled with caramel or peppermint. Some versions also contain pop rocks or other crunchy candy pieces.

Global Availability

While Freddo bars were initially only available in Australia, they have since been introduced to several other markets. In the United Kingdom, Freddo bars were launched in 1973 and have since become a popular and iconic chocolate treat. They are also available in Ireland, New Zealand, and Canada.

Cultural Impact

Freddo bars have become a cultural icon in Australia and the UK, often used as a symbol of childhood nostalgia. In the UK, the price of a Freddo bar is often used as an informal measure of inflation.
