Why cant they make a gigantic creme egg?

Re the creme egg Easter egg...

Its just a big boring hollow chocolate egg with a creme egg on the side. Why would I buy that instead of a box of 6 creme eggs?

And why cant they just make one massive creme egg?

Basic maths: the volume of creme increases in proportion to the square of the surface area of the chocolate. So in a giant egg the ratio of creme to chocolate would be completely off.

My maths was never my strong point 😄 but I think youre making problems when they’re aren’t there. A huge thick chocolate egg with the same ratio, X up, of crème as in the small egg. Surely it would work!

Have you seen the Dominoes whole crème egg inside a cookie?

My 10yr old has been asking the very same question…

Because it sounds vile, sickly and likely to spike people's insulin levels to cope with all that processed sugar. They'd have to put out a health warning like they do with cigarettes.

It would probably send you into a coma!

Sunshineandgrapefruit · 19/03/2026 13:15

Each to their own. I couldn't even eat a mini one they're so sickly...Also they would probably have to make the chocolate extra thick as that much filling would weigh loads!

Gigantic Walnut Whip, please!

With Walnut at the bottom under the mallow too please like they used to be.

Cadburys creme eggs are so expensive now & so much smaller. They used to take me 2 or 3 bites, now I can fit a whole one in my mouth; or maybe I've just got a big mouth!

YetAnotherAlias62 · 19/03/2026 13:04

Only if they go back to the original recipes of all the Cadburys products that Mondelez have ruined since taking over.
I used to only buy Cadburys, I never buy Cadburys any more....

Itsmetheflamingo · 19/03/2026 13:02

I saw the one in Cadbury world! It’s nuts not practical- cost, distributing, transport etc.

ConstanzeMozart · 19/03/2026 13:02

Oh no, it would be so sickly! The proportion of egg to filling in a normal Creme Egg is a bit much, IMO (although I do struggle woman fully through them sometimes, for form's sake). The mini ones are better proportion wise, I think.

VikingLady · 19/03/2026 13:01

That sounds vile.

But imagine if it was a caramel egg though….

JudgementalCat · 19/03/2026 13:00

Because they're vile.

I wish I could go to McDonald's and just get a mcflurry container filled with the creme egg mix, forget the ice cream. I doubt they'd do it though.

Worth getting a job at macdonalds for this!

Zov · 19/03/2026 12:55

YES, one about 8 times the size of a creme egg is now.

I would eat it for sure. (In one go!)

InNewYorkNoShoes · 19/03/2026 12:52

Why can’t they make one the same size as me? I would buy it for sure.

It would weigh a ton! A crème egg the size of a boxed Easter egg.

Maybe a fist size one. For Easter. Yum !

That's a very good compromise. A fist size one with a chocolate spoon and it could be wrapped in gold foil

You can make your own easily. The filling is literally just icing sugar and water.

It isn't, its a bit more complex than that, its sucrose, cornsyrup, water and egg white.

Likely the reason they don't make a giant one is it'd be impossible to eat in one go and wouldn't store well.
