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

gugleguy · 27-01-2014 07:04PM #1

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?

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.

PinkCat86 · 27-01-2014 07:08PM

what? I love crème eggs

ollaetta · 27-01-2014 07:08PM

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

try Free-Range

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.

NO.

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.

IsMiseMyself · 27-01-2014 07:21PM

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

I was gonna include an "I think people who like them are cracked" but thought that mighta been a bit too eggstreme. (Insert more awful egg jokes as required.)

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

YouTookMyName · 27-01-2014 07:28PM

The caramel egg is now far superior.

Muise... · 27-01-2014 07:41PM

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 · 27-01-2014 07:56PM

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

Gatling · 27-01-2014 08:00PM

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.

Alun · 27-01-2014 08:21PM

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

SamAK · 27-01-2014 08:25PM

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.

AllGunsBlazing · 27-01-2014 08:39PM

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