Three Freddo Frog Flavors: Strawberry, Dairy Milk and Milky White

Cadbury's Freddo Frog was invented in the 1930s, when Harry Melbourne, employee of MacRobertson's Chocolates, decided they needed a new chocolate range. They are sold in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand and United Kingdom, .

Statistics showed that a mouse was wanted most, but Harry felt that would not sell. His reasoning was that women and children were afraid of mice, and would dislike it. Thus, Freddo was born.^{[[Citing sources citation needed]]}

Today, Freddo Frog is Australia’s most popular children’s chocolate.^{[[Citing sources citation needed]]}

In Australia, Freddo Frogs are manufactured in Ringwood, Victoria and Hobart.

In the UK and Australia, Freddo Frogs are available in solid Milk Chocolate form and Milk Chocolate filled with Caramel.

Since the success of Freddo, an alternate chocolate named Caramello Koala, also made by Cadbury, has been created.

Freddo Frogs have a variety of flavours including; Dairy Milk, White Chocolate, Rice Crisp Strawberry, Peppermint, Rainbow Crunch and Top Deck.

There was a minor outrage in early April 2006 in the UK when the price of a standard non-Caramel Freddo rose to 15p (an increase of 5p). Many saw the price increase as too steep, especially as the Caramel version has stayed at 10p.

In June 2006 a scare over possible Salmonella infection in some Cadbury products in the UK led to the recall of around a million Cadbury chocolate bars, including the standard Freddo.
