R.I.P. Creme Egg

the groutch

bad enough they have been made smaller over the years, and the recent reduction from a 6 pack to a 5 pack with no change in price.
but now they've changed the chocolate to some Americanesque muck.

can't see myself buying them again any time soon.

Say it ain't so Groutch....

Creme eggs have long been filth along with most of cadburys chocolate.

It'll never taste as good as when we were kids

Gbear

Why do companies always **** up perfect sweets?

They did it to Loop-the-Loops by making them mealy and rubbish, they did it to Cadbury's Caramel by putting the same dog**** caramel from Caramello in them and now this.

How is making your product ****ter a sound business decision?

Tzardine

I will reserve judgement until I actually taste the new ones.

How do you eat yours?

BoJack Horseman

Cadbury "chocolate" is essentially twice fried vegetable oil & soy milk, with a dash of cocoa.

(Sadly).

Yup, when the 'cream' actually looked and tasted like cream. Not the translucent e-ridden muck they have in there now.

The decisions are made on the basis of cost. Cadbury roses are gone to ****e because they've slashed the amount of chocolate, and therefore cocoa in it. The price of cocoa had doubled in the last 10 years.

Producers know the changes will put some people off, but they know they can make up for this loss by increasing the profitability of the product they sell to the remaining customers, overall they will be up. Kraft foods took on huge debt to buy cadbury, so they will sweat the asset for as much as they can before they flog it.

It's the Spice Burger phenomenon.

People just get nostalgic about them despite not actually eating one of the wretched things since about 1984.

The Backwards Man

The last time I had a creme egg I still believed in the tooth fairy. Horrible yokes.

Pumpkinseeds

They're awful. I had one a few years ago and it was so sweet it hurt my teeth. Cadburys chocolate is filth.

Yakult

As a person who only eats the goo, their is a massive change from years ago. So much that I've literally no interest in them or any Cadbury product. Much better chocolate out there for cheaper or same price. Not average ****.

Gatling

There are a few websites and youtuber 's That show you how to make your own creme eggs ,

the last few years there gone downhill the last one I had about 12 months ago the fondant wasn't mixed properly left it grainy

It's a popular food myth that E numbers are bad.

They aren't some sort of industrial effluent.
They're a designation used for chemicals that include naturally occurring compounds like vitamin C (E300).

Cee-Jay-Cee

I haven't eaten a cream egg in years as they ruined thrm years ago. They recently ruined cadburys dairy milk bars by introducing their new improved recipe. It tastes like ****e like the rest of their chocolate.

Is the whole kraft thing the reason why there were some toblerones in box of roses recently? I think I am down to just one Rose that I actually like now.

Ah here try some proper handmade chocolate , it's another world compared to the mass produces muck that's currently sold in shops

Day Lewin

But I used to love Creme Eggs! There was proper fondant in them long ago, tasting of custard, even. *Cries*

Day Lewin

And while I'm on the subject, Whipped Cream Walnuts used to have fondant inside, with another nut in the middle, too. Modern ones have some sort of diluted marshmallow :-(

Agricola

When are the creme eggs out? Are Creme eggs sold all year or Easter? Hey its Halloween but I want a Creme egg where can I get one? Does anyone else think Creme eggs arent like they used to be?


Will someone tell me what's so fúcking great about these little sickly sweet, goo filled chocolate balls that there seems to be a sexual obsession with them on boards?

They were always dirty gak yokes!

A national day of mourning as been declared. I'd ask for the mods to censor people who make facetious remarks.

BeerWolf

Always found them nasty anyways...

The Corinthian

I personally avoid having creamed eggs...

Loughc

I've yet to forgive Kraft over the shíte that is now a tin of Roses. But they've really out done themselves now.

I bet you drink 'craft beers' too. :pac:

I knew investing my money into bulk buying classic creme eggs was the way to go instead of a high yield savings account. who's laughing now!!!!?!??? :pac::pac::pac:

The_Valeyard

Ugh,


Well, this has truly f*cked up my Monday.

But if this is the worst thing in our lives, we are really doing okay

vienne86

Awful things anyway. Far too sweet. Hope they're gone for good.

marklazarcovic

isnt it soya they use now instead of real milk?

Once again, the creme egg heavy portfolio pays off for the hungry investor.

Woop whoop woop woop woop!

There was only one nice egg and they were the galaxy ones or aero eggs, original cream eggs are filth!
