Fact check:
The claim that Cadbury is offering gift hampers for Facebook users commenting 'Love Cadbury' is FALSE.
This is a scam and the Facebook page is not an official page of Cadbury's. Looking at the comments on the post, we could assess that the post was encouraging people to register their details on a website linked in the comments. This website makes no mention of Cadbury and claims to offer a movie subscription service and asks for an email address and password but no physical address to send the chocolate to. The claim seems to be started on a Facebook page named Cadbury World where users had to submit all their personal details.
Though the page was deleted, several other users have shared the images along with the viral text. Though the name of another page that shared the claim says Cadbury World, the page handle is @cadburyworld21, which is not the original page.
One of the images used in the viral post is from an event in New Zealand, evident from the website it was published from, netballznz.co.nz, which states that Cadbury Netball New Zealand is thrilled to announce that Cadbury has extended its support of netball as a principal volunteer partner.
There are several verified pages of Cadbury which do not carry any such information about gift hampers.

Several websites have debunked this claim.
In 2020, a similar claim went viral, which was then debunked. Now, in 2021, with changes to the text, the claim has resurfaced again.

Therefore, the claim that Cadbury is offering gift hampers for Facebook users commenting 'Love Cadbury' is FALSE.
