Fry's Chocolate Cream is a chocolate bar developed by J. S. Fry & Sons and currently manufactured by Cadbury. Launched in 1866, Fry's Chocolate Cream is the first mass-produced chocolate bar and is the world's oldest chocolate bar brand. The original chocolate bar consisted of a plain fondant centre enrobed in plain chocolate. Variants include Peppermint Cream, Orange Cream, Raspberry Cream and Strawberry Cream. History Fry's Chocolate Cream was first produced in 1866 and is considered the direct descendant of Fry's Cream Stick produced in 1853. The Cream Stick was the first industrialised and affordable chocolate bar. In 1875, Fry's Chocolate Cream was remoulded to the shape it still has today. During production, it once exceeded half a million units per day and the foil wrapping and label would appear in 1925. The Orange Cream and Peppermint Cream, followed by Fry's Five Centre, were introduced in 1934. In World War II, Bomber crews in RAF Bomber Command were regularly issued with Fry's Chocolate Creams before missions. Products and branding There are currently five variants of Fry's Cream: Fry's Chocolate Cream Fry's Peppermint Cream Fry's Orange Cream (Discontinued 2015, relaunched 2018) Fry's Raspberry Cream Fry's Strawberry Cream (Relaunched 2020 Limited edition) Over the years, other variants existed: Fry's Five Centre (orange, raspberry, lime, strawberry, and pineapple), produced from 1934 to 1992. Five Centre was also sold with a combination of orange, coffee, vanilla, lime, and raspberry centres. It is probable that other combinations were sold at one time or another; for example, one reproduction 1950s advert shows a blackcurrant flavoured segment in place of vanilla. The Five Centre bar was renamed Fruit Medley during the 1960s, but this was later reversed. Fry's Strawberry Cream Fry's Pineapple Cream An unsuccessful mid-1990s relaunch attempt also saw new variants available under the modernised "Fry's Spirit" branding for a while: Fry's Spirit Berry Margarita Fry's Spirit Piña Colada Fry's Spirit Velvet Dream (cream liqueur) Cadbury also produced a solid milk chocolate bar called Five Boys using the Fry's trademark from 1902 until 1976. Cadbury produced milk and plain chocolate sandwich bars under the Fry's branding also. In 2021, Fry's launched a hot chocolate powder which can be blended with milk. Lazenby commercials In the 1960s, Fry's Chocolate Cream was advertised by model George Lazenby as 'The Big Fry' man, making him a celebrity in the UK. The commercials rivalled Cadbury Milk Tray which has been
