Encyclopedia
Fry's Cream is a chocolate bar made by Cadbury's
, and formerly by J. S. Fry & Sons
. It consists of a fondant

in dark chocolate and is available in a plain version, and also peppermint or orange fondant. Fry's Chocolate Cream was one of the first chocolate bars ever produced, launched in 1866.
There are currently three variants of Fry's Cream:
Over the years, other variants existed:
An unsuccessful mid-1990s relaunch attempt also saw new variants available under the modernised "Fry's Spirit" branding for a while:
Whether the Fruit Centre title was dropped briefly and relaunched as Fruit Medley (then changed back again) is unclear or whether they sat alongside each other despite being basically the same bar. It is unclear as to what the purpose of the Fruit Medley was given the existence of the Five Centres.
Cadbury's also produced a solid milk chocolate bar called Five Boys using the Fry's trademark from the early 20th century right up until the 1970's. Cadbury's produced milk and plain chocolate sandwich bars under the Fry's branding also.
Fry's chocolate bar was promoted by model George Lazenby
, later James Bond
actor, in 1967.
The Fry's Chocolate bar was first produced in Union Street, Bristol, England in 1866, where the family name had been associated with chocolate making since circa 1759. In 1923 Fry's (now Cadbury) chocolate Factory moved to Keynsham, England, but due to the imminent closure of the factory the production of the bar will move, possibly to Poland.
