Cadbury's cream egg tastes crap now compared to years ago

gugleguy

I recall a time when eating a Cadbury' s cream egg was a pleasure and moment to savour. The adverts for cadburys cream egg may be still as showy; but I personally think now that Cadburys put Any old stuff in the egg. What do ther boardsies think?

Lapin

They certainly got smaller.

Cadbury's chocolate is awful now in general. The fondant in the eggs has changed too, it's very thick and sickly sweet now.

I look toward to the day when they put some chocolate in their
sugar bars.

what? I love crème eggs

ollaetta

Have to say I always thought they were gank! Give me a good auld slab of solid chocolate any day.

After being purchased by Kraft foods, Cadbury started using soy milk instead of regular in their chocolate.

They are also full of glucose syrup, & palm oil.

I think cadburys are only 1/7 cocoa.

I don't see how they can trade under the name "chocolate".

Does the OP smoke? Everything tastes rubbish if you do. Cadbury's is rubbish though - buy Belgian.

Thought they were blaming the rise in the cost of cocoa for the ridiculous price of their bars.

Not according to the ingredients listed on their website. It definitely tastes different though.

You know what they call Creme Eggs in Belgium?


























'Le' Cremé Egg.

Definitely smaller. The creme is thick and spongy now instead of cremey.

Aswell as creme eggs Most chocolate bars seem to have gotten smaller in the last while!

I've got the sweetest tooth on the planet, and the fondant is enough to make me not eat another sweet thing for the rest of the day after having one. I sometimes even need some gank coffee to help me recover.

I've never gotten the appeal of the cream egg. Always thought they were rotten yolks.

Can't fathom why people still shell out for them...

The caramel egg is now far superior.

Muise...

I was given a creme egg once, at the age of seven or so. I took one bite and tasted what I can only assume was the devil's left testicle, and put it in my pocket, and tried to forget all about it till my mother noticed the foul crust of gick while hanging up my coat one day, and murdered me for the pain of cleaning it up. I gave them up for lent every year after that.

McChubbin

Always thought they were disgustingly sweet things. Give me a Galaxy Caramel egg over one anyday. Mmmmmm.

Now what you want is a creme egg brownie

In France, they only eat one creme egg as a snack, why?

Cos one egg is an oeuf

I was in New Zealand a couple of years ago and found a place that did deep fried Cadbury's Cream Eggs. It was like a party in my mouth! Not sure my arteries were too happy about it though.

They've always tasted crap, you're only now realising it, that's all.

SamAK

Back in the day, Cadburys Dairy Milk bars used to come wrapped in gold foil, and the choccy itself used to have a powdery coating on it......you know what I mean, it was proper fvcking chocolate.

I've completely given up on Cadbury now, fvck those **** at Kraft, ruining a great brand.

While we're on the subject, Nestle ruined Yorkie bars. The bastards.

Guess what. Someone saying in 2006 that creme eggs don't taste liked they used to. It is probably that peoples taste buds change.

I actually thought I was imagining that Cadbury chocolate has gotten worse, thought it was rose tinted glasses but seems to be a few people on here confirming it.

I remember a time when you could beat a man to death with a chilled yorkie bar, now you'd have a tough time giving a budgie a concussion.

Apparenly the gold foil bars are nicer than the stuff they get in UK.

Rancheros used to be brilliant until all the nice additives got banned by the EU. Wonder if the same happened to creme eggs?

Hope it wasn't the new coffee flavour one you tinted your Roses glasses with?

Cadbury goop egg more like.

Thank god nestle hasn't messed with the crunch bar.

DoozerT6

The 'creamy' part, as mentioned above, is not creamy any more - it's pretty solid and almost...grainy.

And also, Wham bars are sooooo much smaller nowadays, rabble rabble rabble.....

Oh she does some amazing stuff. She lives in Scotland which might be a good thing in a way. If she lived near me I'd probably be twenty stone by now!

I think the real travesty over the years has to be Monster Munch. Why did they mess with them...Why?

Cadbury's chocolate tastes much better in the North. The eggs have got smaller though..:mad:
