Always wondered this, but google doesn't help, and friends and family dispute, but i find the original (dark blue pack) one to taste very slightly minty. It shouldnt as its just dark 'choc' and cream fondant. But it always has tasted minty to me.

I know there's a peppermint one in the green pack and i'm not getting them muddled, as to me that one tastes like a strong toothpaste.

incidentally the strawberry ones are especially rank, whilst orange, raspberry ok

is it just me who gets a slight minty taste form the original/blue one?

I reckon it's just your brain tricking you as the combination of dark chocolate and fondant is usually mint flavoured.

There isn’t a mint taste it’s dark chocolate with a fondant like you find in a cream egg. One of the few cadburys bars that Mondalez has not yet managed to ruin
yes i know there snot a mint taste in it as per my op, but i taste it for some reason.

mondelez ruined creme eggs already the choc is a lot thinner, the choc mix is also i believe not the old dairy milk mix but a base choc mix which is slightly different, plus only 5 in a box when it used to be 6.

still stuff em in, but increasingly prefer the caramel ones, oreo ones no thanks.

ah sorry thought you meant creme eggs hadn't been ruined by Mondelez, rather you meant Frys CC's...

the one thing i like about Mondelez, is the range of new flavours/variants of all the brands they acquired here under cadbury.

Cadbury UK did naff all of mixing it up and rarely introduced new stuff, in fact contracted the variants to focus on core (spira, fuse, wispa (b4 it came back), marble etc), which is fair enough but boring for consumers.

Since mondelez took over plenty of innovation and new variants (the raspberry and strawberry frys CC's being an example) and loads of dairy milk variants so should be applauded for that at least (not those 2 mystery bar flavour dairy milks, though. they were evil....)
