    Was never a great fan of these eggs, but then again it would not be Easter without them, a few years ago they changed and I've not had any these last few years.

    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.

    Cadbury + Maxwell House = Cadburys Maxwell House Mocha. You belong in product development.

    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.

    Not to mention the tin of Roses chocs have gotten smaller and more expensive too. I remember seeing a comparison photo of the size of the Roses tin's over the years and it was shocking.

    Always tasted like crap so can't see how it'll be any different now.

    Well if you're after proper chocolate and not sugar laden gack then don't even bother with Cadbury in the first place.

    Duuuude... My bad! At least they weren't both by me? =/
    Nice to know so many people agree with me!

    I know Cadbury's is not "proper chocolate", it's too soft and doesn't have enough cocoa in it to be classed as "proper chocolate" but it most definitely has gone down hill an awful lot.

    I lol'd at Cabury's Maxwell house... That actually sounds nice! Their hot chocolate powder is still good!

    Apparently some Cadburys products are now made in Poland, may be why your Creme Egg tasted rank. I think I remember another poster, in another thread, pointed out that Roses are Polish made too.

    We're lucky to have Coolock still producing - for now - as the Irish made Dairy Milk is much nicer than the UK version which is Polish made, poor Brits!

    Thanks for that, we were complaining about our Roses over the Christmas, we won't be buying them again, the partially eaten tin lasted into March, they never got past St Stephen's day previously, with me blaming the children ~ nice to know.

    Assuming this is factual, I absolutely concur that the previously Irish Made stuff was far, far, far superior.

    I see myself going to the Dragon's Den, now I know why both the English and Irish shows were gushing over Chocolate producers.

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

    yeah, they have got smaller

    Can you find any evidence that UK creme eggs got smaller, or Irish ones, presumably the same. They did in the US, but I never heard of them changing here.

    It is always blamed on your hand being smaller as a child. I see no difference, I remember them being tiny in the mid 80's, my mother would put tissue in a small egg cup to hold them up.

    This site says they were 39g in 1977 and 40g now
    http://www.theguardian.com/culture/picture/2013/mar/29/creme-egg-everything-you-need-to-know

    Tesco have a 12 pack listed as 475g so 39.58g. So there is probably no change at all, just different rounding.

    Picture of an old egg found from 1963 here, looks the same as the new one beside it.
