So you make a hostile takeover of a company and then start changing what made them great?

i''ll just point out that when i was in ireland, cadbury's stuff was glorious. compared to polish-made milka that is sold here... or some of the atrocities the local brands are...

Well that got promptly shared on Facebook and Twitter.  It might not explicitly say dairy milk but that is the chocolate the company is famous for and what you expect its products to be covered in!!!!

Last time I had a Creme Egg I nearly ended up throwing it up

The time before that when I tried to buy one there was frigging plastic in it and they were in the process of taking them off the shelves



Can't say I'm too sad about this!

Not all of us are ready for awesome.


In the end though we're talking about one of the UK's most loved confectionery items. In the run up to Easter they are literally the best selling chocolates in the UK. So we're understandably pissed off when a company muscles in and ****s things up for no good reason. 

[deathfun]

That I can definitely see and relate to

Was not aware that it was the best selling product in the UK leading up to Easter though!

We love our Easter eggs over here and the Cadbury's Cream Egg is the only brand which is a cornerstone, the rest of the tradition is in shapes and styles.

to be fair I only ever ate the creme, so if they haven't changed that then it really doesn't affect me

[Klaustrophobia]

They are (were?) delicious, but I couldn't find them here last year.  Honestly I wonder if it is actually noticeable.  How many of the people thought it tasted funny BEFORE they already knew about the switch?

They're quite good... when they're not contaminated. I had several times where Cadbury eggs were removed by health inspectors or never delivered at all because of aforementioned reasons at my old workplace.

As it happens, Hershey’s products taste horrible anyway

woah **** you article the Hershey bar is a classic

Anyways I enjoy the occasional creme egg, but I can't say I'm an enormous fan of them.  It does suck when companies screw with classic stuff for no reason though.  I'm still royally pissed over Skittles changing the green ones from lime to green apple.  **** you green apple.

Reminds me of when a car manufacturer purchases another. Jeep being indestructible to not.

I stopped eating Cadbury Creme Eggs when they shrank the eggs and replaced the gooey filling with some kind of fluffy paste.  I can see they haven't stopped trying to adulterate a once fine confection.

Can I please, PLEASE post a photoshop image of someone doing some really adult stuff on a bed with the creme eggs? I NEED IT OUT OF MY SYSTEM
