Nestlé Yorkie Bar Reviews

Last weekend I bought a packet of Nestle Yorkies at my local Sainsbury's as it was on offer for just £1. I was encouraged to buy it because of the offer and the chance to try something different. General information Nestlé is a Swiss based world wide food company. In 1988 Nestlé acquired a famous British confectionery ...  Read the complete review

Nestled within the shiny blue foil wrapper of the Nestle Yorkie bar emblazoned with the tag line IT'S NOT FOR GIRLS is an ordinary chocolate bar. The wrapper might feature the generic UK road sign warning meaning not "suitable for" within which is a picture of a girl in a handbag but really is this a clever marketing ploy to convince us ...  Read the complete review

Yorkies, their not for girls. Or rather they tend not to choose to eat them. Frankly i'm baffled to why this is as they are fantastic. Yorkies are currently on sale for a trial price of 35 pence from some retailers, which makes now the perfect time to try one. They normally retail at the usual chocolate bar price of about 55 pence ...  Read the complete review

When I was little, my brother used to get a Yorkie easter egg every year, and it used to drive me mad. I was absolutely green with envy at the individually wrapped pieces of Yorkie - for me it was the ultimate chocolate, but I always seemed to end up with a Buttons egg or something more girly. I think the other reason I always pined ...  Read the complete review

Nestle's Yorkie bar was originally produced by Rowntree's and takes it name from the city where the Rowntree's factory was situated at it's inception - York. Originally the brainchild of Eric Nicoli of the Rowntree company, in 1976 he made use of Rowntree's future markets position to launch Yorkie using the cheaper cocoa that their position ...  Read the complete review

When we talk about giant chocolate bars, like the Double Decker, Boost and even Twix's and Bounty's there is one that often shows who's boss, the Yorkie. Not a bar I myself eat very often (it's Nestle chocolate, I'm not a fan, and even now I'm only eating it to review it) however at 68g in a bar, it's one of the few where you get more than a gram ...  Read the complete review

I love any chocolate bars pretty much but when I first came across this one it brought my love for chocolate to a new level yet again. Yorkie bars are a bar that is made by yorkie, and the concept of it was this, instead of companies making their products smaller to save money and stay competitive they would instead have a big bar, like the size ...  Read the complete review

From the makers of Nestle comes huge chocolate bar Yorkie. I am a complete chocoholic so love anything dipped / smeared or covered in the stuff. Its gorgeous. The bar comes in a shiny blue plastic wrapper and the word Yorkie is emblazoned across the front with the O being a woman in a circle with a red line through it. I bought my bar ...  Read the complete review

I've always loved Yorkie bars and think it's so funny that they are not for girls but it's probably girls who buy most of them because I've only ever met one guy who likes them because they're too much like pure chocolate for most blokes. Yorkies are milk chocolate and the segments of chocolate are proper thick and it takes 2 bites the ...  Read the complete review

Yorkie bars, made by Nestle, have most recently been marked as 'Not for girls' (causing some controversy) but on buying one you can see why the firm have taken this approach. To explain this, and to review the bar, I'm going to compare it to that English 'benchmark' of chocolate, a Cadbury's Dairy Milk. This review will take the form of a 4 ...  Read the complete review

There should be a big question mark up against Yorkie. There are certain people who just do not like the big chunky taste of a Yorkie bar and then there are others who absolutely love it. I would place myself in between. I do not dislike the taste of this chocolate bar but I would not be able to finish one all in one go. The taste of ...  Read the complete review

When I was little my Uncle's favourite chocolate bar was the Yorkie and he drove a truck, and I thought that the chocolate bars were a specific part of the truck drivers uniform, having seen the old adverts it was associated with a big chocolate bar for big beefy guys. A more recent and in my mind ill advised ad campaign during the ...  Read the complete review

It's interesting to see the rather divisive reviews for the Yorkie bar on here. I wonder how much of that is because of their mildly controversial slogan - "It's NOT for girls" (although ironically, they did release a limited edition Pink version to keep the PC brigade happy). If you're of the mind that gets offended by these kind of ...  Read the complete review

What i love about this chocolate bar is its advertising gimmick- 'it's not for girls!' This is great for the company on two counts: 1) It persuades men to eat it (they feel its masculine, its fitting in with the men) This also provides a sense of exclusiveness, if they think that its only them allowed, its a sort of ...  Read the complete review

The yorkie bar's slogan "it's not for girls" makes girls want to eat it, as they feel rebelious. The packaging is attractive and shiny, making it stand out on the shelf. The bold golden, yellowy colour of the writing makes it an immediate choice of chocolate. The chocolate itself is rich and creamy, with it being ...  Read the complete review

***YORKIE*** This yummy, chunky bar is made by Nestle who are well known for making a huge range of products including ice-creams and confectionary such as Kit Kat, Polo, Quality Street and many more popular sweets and treats. The original chocolate Yorkie bar was launched in 1976, to take on brands such as Cadbury's Dairy Milk and provide a ...  Read the complete review

Marketed as a bar just for men, this chocolate is made up of large chunks and comes from the house of nestle. The blue wrapper certainly makes you think it's for boys, and the size of the chunks also has a strong masculine feel to it, but of course anyone can (and will) eat it really. I am more a fan of Cadbury's chocolate, ...  Read the complete review

Yorkie is never my chocolate bar of choice but my nan came down last week bearing gifts for us all and she presented me with a big bar of Yorkie. I always think that this is a strange choice of chocolate bar because if you are going to eat chocolate 'straight' then why choose Nestle? I know I would much prefer a big bar of a Cadbury's based ...  Read the complete review

'Yorkie Bars' were something I never really choose up until a month or two ago. I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe because they just weren't my usual choice of chocolate bar; others grabbing my attention straight away... and I guess I sort of browsed passed them on the shelf. The first thing you'll notice is that famous signature feature; ...  Read the complete review

Yorkie bars have a reputation as being a man's chocolate bar, advertising used to show butch truckers eating yorkie bars saying they were not for girls. When I was a kid there were even toys available of the Yorkie truck. The idea is that they are too much for a woman and this created a real sexism argument, the wrapper even says 'its ...  Read the complete review
