    I just had a Cadbury's Creme Egg there, it was the first one I had in years... But it tasted different. Is the stuff in the middle different? It kinda tastes like cake icing now... I wasn't a fan. It wasn't as soft as it used to be either.

    Sorry weird and random, but I just have to see if it was just me or not!

    I remember a few years ago someone made one and sold it on ebay. The winning bidder probably has diabetes now....

    Yep definitely more of a soft fondant than a 'creme' at this stage. They're a bit more gritty/sugary now for sure, ick.

    O.o fricken Cadbury's battery fondant hens. Shoddy state they are kept in. I think we should all start a petition!

    I remember when I was younger I got a creme egg easter egg and I was fully expecting it to be full of goo... It was not and I was most upset.

    It goes hard/gritty if it's too cold. The chocolate goes soft if it's too warm. It's very serious business.

    You need to eat it at room temperature. Don't keep it in the fridge!

    Where is the perfect balance?? I mean is having the heating set to 25C sufficient? Or would I need it a bit cooler for the chocolate?

    I bet they sold millions of those eggs that year! I think we were all expecting something inside them.

    The 2 eggs for €1 at the Esso is very tempting when popping in there for fuel (or for the 4litres of milk for €3.50) disappointing that 2 for €1 deal is over.

    Prefer the caramel version myself.

    Used to love the rolo eggs myself. Lovely caramel goodness.

    Anyone tried the creme egg biscuits? Look ... interesting.

    The Creme Egg is smaller. That is the most annoying change.

    Saw them 2 for €1 in Supervalu yesterday if that helps!

    Cadburys in general has gone downhill a lot. The bar's have gotten smaller but the prices higher. The big bars are really greasy and powdery now and specialist products like the creme egg are a pale shadow of their former selves.

    Another thing that annoys me is all the product crossovers they're doing, Cadbury philli cheese :(, they're pimping out the once good name Cadbury had.

    True that. Seems they are putting Cadbury with every f**king product they have. They've done it with Philidelphia, Ritz, Lu, Daim, Oreo. What next? Cadbury Dairylea? Cadbury Maxwell House?

    Surely their marketing and product development teams can do better than that. I could get a class of transition year students to come up with what they have come up with so far.

    The hens are smaller!!

    But they are definitely different. Used to love these and would scoff down many a multi pack. Was back in Ireland last year and had one for the first time in years and it was pure manky. I might as well have been eating a bag of sugar.
