chunky

Chunky is an English adjective describing something that is thick, heavy, or made up of large pieces. It is commonly used to characterize textures or forms that are not smooth or uniform, such as chunky salsa, chunky peanut butter, or other foods and objects with noticeable chunks.

In popular culture and branding, Chunky is best known as the name of a Cadbury chocolate bar marketed under the Cadbury brand. The product is described as a larger, chunkier chocolate bar, and the name has entered everyday usage to evoke a sense of heft or size. The term is also used as a nickname or stage name for people, notably in the Indian entertainment industry where the actor widely known as Chunky Pandey is referred to by this nickname.

Beyond products and nicknames, Chunky can appear in informal language to convey emphasis on size or heft in various contexts, such as describing objects, portions, or designs that are notably substantial. While not a formal term with a single canonical meaning outside these uses, Chunky remains a recognizable label in both consumer branding and everyday speech.
