[Closed] Creme Eggs... I know I did wrong 😉

Meh, they ruined them when they downgraded the chocolate

Still love em'

Oh god, the memories! I got a 48 box through work for £4.80, I really don't think I could ever eat another one.

I haven't bought Cadbury stuff since Kraft bought them. I used to love Twirls too 🙁 Damn Americans, ruining everything...

Oh my god that looks amazing 🙂

This.

I am 100% a creme egghead, but recently they've mistaken my kindness for weakness, and are just taking the piss now.

Wife is allergic to spices. Creme Eggs now have paprika in them. Not a happy wife.

I once had a deep fried creme egg.
Just the once.

Kraft puke and snot eggs yuk.

I find that in the two bites it takes to eat one, I can't even notice the change in chocolate.
See how many of those you can eat in one sitting and post the results!

I work my way through many Creme Eggs each year, and couldnt tell the difference when they changed the chocolate.

I'll try a couple more this evening just to check though.

The thickness of the choclolate changed.

The cafe at Loggerheads country park do chocolate 'scotch eggs' about this time of year (bit like this):

Too sweet for me, they make my teeth itch

My wife made those at the weekend.

Not those actual ones obviously but ones just like them. Nom nom nom 🙂

What is in the middle? Not actual egg, no?

Any love for the caramel egg?

Loved creme eggs, now smaller and chocolate is bland, no thanks corporate america, rip some other shmuck off.

If they shrink them any more then you won't be able to see them.

Make them smaller put up the price ,and use shitter ingredients absolutely boils my piss. "Its because of brexit/ obesity blah". Its cause you corporate assholes want to look better on the ftse, suck on my twix and two creme eggs you bawbags. *

i only eat hob nobs now cause new world order pricks have ruined my choccie bar at lunch time.

What is in the middle? Not actual egg, no?

Yes, actual egg*

*Of the Creme variety 😉

I eggspected Kraft / Cadbury to reintroduce the original Creme Egg this year, if anything they're worse than last year.

It's the worst kind of corporate bullshit, put the price up 5p? Nah we'll just make them shit to increase our margin. Oh sales are down? Make 'em cheaper to make again.

Its around this time of year I dream of a Cream Egg Easter Egg, where the egg is an actual scaled up cream egg. Oh, the joy.

Apparently it's due to consumers - research says we'd rather pay the same and get less/worse product than pay the extra for the same thing.

Personally that research is not representative of my view, I've not had a Creme Egg since they changed the chocolate 👿

What is in the middle? Not actual egg, no?

A sugar fondant which is possibly the most calorific dense substance known to man, and is nutritionally bereft of any use whatsoever apart from rescussitation of someone in a diabetic coma, and the chocolate used is utter vile to taste. (I use the term chocolate ironically, it isn't chocolate, more a collection of flavoured fats)

I loved the 'fresh minty eggs' Rowntrees made them I think. Haven't seen them for years though.

All spices? Or just a few...must rule out a lot of processed food?!

I had a scaled up one about 30 years ago, not official Cadbury, but someone else. You definitely can have too much of a good thing.

What have they actually done to them? Made them smaller. Have they actually changed the chocolate, as I thought Cadbury uk had a different recipe to Cadbury USA anyway. Sad what money makes people do.

Pah..We only have the Lindt ones. 😉

Between downgrading the chocolate and this they have went too far.

Teresa, you have more on your plate than a cream egg. Forget it.

What has a chocolate egg got to do with Jesus?

They've clearly missed a trick - they should make Creme eggs and Dairy Milk Creme eggs for 10p more. When you make a budget product you need to also bring in a premium one to capture a wider market share.

Also to add to that they've not removed Easter at all but you don't want to hear that.

That's the internet in a chocolate eggshell right there.

I remember the smell and texture and taste of a real Creme Egg. Was great.

Cadburys went soft on us. National disaster. Won't be fixed by Brexit. Sad.

Also - it's not Terry's, it's fake. Tiny, concave, soft, sugary choco-like segments for tiny soft hands and teeth. Very bad.

Remember chocolate oranges? They used to be like a segmented cricket ball. Choc hard. You could cause some damage with one. Now more like a chocolate-flavoured candy tangerine. We're all Americans now.

oh brexit and chocolate, where my Marathon !!!!!!!

So May is wrong again. Will she have egg on her face at PMQs?

They've clearly missed a trick - they should make Creme eggs and Dairy Milk Creme eggs for 10p more. When you make a budget product you need to also bring in a premium one to capture a wider market share.

Would that be the current [s]improved[/s] destroyed pseudo-'Dairy Milk' recipe? Or the real Dairy Milk, like back when it was real?

Because if so - 'premium' can go suck an egg.

'Premium - not quite as shitty as our shittier stuff.'

Have they actually changed the chocolate, as I thought Cadbury uk had a different recipe to Cadbury USA anyway.

Sooooo many idiots on twitter banging on about halal chocolate

Always remember a creme egg eating competition on night shift years ago.

I managed 5 and just felt disgusting, others managed between 4 and 8. The winner? 21 creme eggs.

About 1 minute after eating the last one, he puked in a bucket. Smelt like hot chocolate.

Nope it's not changed despite what the Daily Mail and Telegraph readers believe.

What about Guardian readers? [url= https://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/jan/12/shellshock-cadbury-comes-clean-on-creme-egg-chocolate-change ]https://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/jan/12/shellshock-cadbury-comes-clean-on-creme-egg-chocolate-change[/url]

Oh aye sorry. The Dairy Milk recipe hasn't changed. 😳

That's not the same as the Daily Mail and Telegraph of the egg chocolate being made halal friendly or that they dropped the name Easter because it's owned by Muslims.

ah! I must admit that particular storm in an eggcup had passed me by until now!

It's quite incredible.

It's quite [s]incredible[/s] scary.

Most of the good ones, paprika, turmeric, cayenne.
Tomatoes and peppers too.

We do a lot of reading labels in the supermarket.

Nestle are evil.

Drac, you are spot on. My mate ran the factory. Yes ran the whole frikin factory. He swears by all that is holy that they didn't change.
