I have got a complaint to make. It is something that I am very cross about as well, Now I might upset a few of my American friends here,but I’m afraid it is too important an issue to ignore and it has to be said!
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO OUR CREME EGG?
Now I am not allowed much chocolate, but one thing I am really looking forward to is a Creme Egg at Easter time, (or maybe even before, as willpower has never been my strong point), Now these delicious delicacies are not available all of the time, due to their festive design, so they are even more of a treat when I finally manage to get my hands on one.
However, my parade has been rained upon. It has come to my attention that and American company has taken over production of my favourite chocolate egg and they have ruined it!
Yes. for a start they have shrunk it! How dare they! It was only 40g to begin with and now they have lopped off another 6g. I am furious, nobody likes to be short-changed; We all know how disappointing it is when we expect something of one size, and end up getting a smaller version (don’t we ladies)?
Not only have they shrunk it but they have used a different chocolate! The pleasure of eating the Creme egg is first the cracking of the smooth chocolatey shell, then scooping out the creamy white and yolk. It all blended perfectly,so why did they have to mess with it?!
I am beyond annoyed at the liberties they have taken with my favourite confection.
Do we need to start up a petition to bring back the original Creme Egg?
Whoa, there missy! We were told here in the States that we weren’t getting the British version of the egg anymore (and neither were we getting other yummy Cadbury things – authentic recipe things) but that it was still available in Great Britain!
They lied to us!

Well I have noticed that our other Cadbury’s bats are shrinking as well . My husband’s Twirl is a lot shorter than it was! This is not on at all!

Truthfully, I’m a yellow Peep girl myself, so I’m just counting the days until they’re available.:)

I have never hard of those but they look very cute, Presumably they taste nice too. I am going to have to console myself with a Malteser bunny instead!

I have no idea. I buy them every spring, and they’re always yummy. 20+ years of creme eggs, I haven’t noticed a change at all.

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
