'Cadbury's' Creme eggs

[DrDoofenshmirtz]

The Yanks have ruined them!!
Not only do they now come in boxes of five (FFS!) but they are no longer made with Dairy Milk.

I know some people don't like them (and will be along shortly to tell us ) but I loved them and now they're ruined...ruined I tell thee

I bought one the other day and didn't notice any difference in taste...

[anonymous-user]

i am a licker maybe now no more..

[Jasandjules]

Had one a few weeks ago now and it didn't taste good. Subsequently found out the reason why. Won't be buying any more until they change back to the original !!

[Hyde]

I heard that they no longer used Dairy Milk, so bought one today as a taste test nothing to do with greed

It wasn't horrible but certainly not as nice as they were

Amazing marketing campaign!

[elster]

Didn't they change the chocolate and the creme last year?

[Crush]

Good news, means I won't be putting on 35 stone over Easter

"Apparently", they never said they were ever made with Dairy Milk chocolate.

[Ray Luxury-Yacht]

Could this not be a deliberate attempt by the manufacturers to stir up interest in a product for marketing reasons???

Like - Heinz threatened to stop making Salad Cream a few years ago I remember. There was uproar, petitions, letters, protests etc. etc.

And they 'caved in' and said 'ok, sorry, we'll keep making it...'

Meanwhile, sales soared. Clearly, there was no real threat to stop making it - this was just a clever (and rather cynical) marketing campaign.

I smell a similar kind of rat here....

Their 'egg and spoon' are still made with dairy milk.

The bars of goo and the egg nuggets- are they dairy milk? I'm fairly sure they are advertised as such.

I'm a real sucker for creme eggs but the new ones are just rank.

[Petrol Only]

That's what's different then! I thought Kraft had done well with adding Oreo with dairy milk NOM NOM. No more Creme eggs for me. I'll need to find another post Christmas tradition now

[markcoznottz]

In sure the yanks would eventually like to sell 'compound chocolate' over here, basically compacted veg fat that vaguely tastes of chocolate..

[williamp]

Does remind me of how some big businesses treated companies in the 90s. Thinks like "due to customer demand, we've made the change..." When it was nonsense. Remember firkin pubs? Almost overnight they stopped selling their unique beers and sold tetleys "due to customer demand" . Their customers left and the brand closed within a few years...

It feels like the parent company are treating us the same way. Soon they will be selling us hershey bars "due to custmer demand". A real shame as its a much loved brand.

U.S. trying to tell us how to eat chocolate? And save money of course.

"New Coke".

Eggsactly what I was thinking - and then 'Coke Classic' wasn't it.

This egg sold in the states? Maybe they want to sell it over there and cater for the US taste in reformatted ingredients that taste like chocolate.
