Do you think the different colours of mini eggs taste different? DH and I can’t agree.

Nope

LancashireSquirrel · 12/03/2023 20:04

No but now I feel like you're asking me to buy a massive bag just to eat them all to double check.

If you insist Grin

Rowgtfc72 · 12/03/2023 20:04

Dh and dd say no.
I can't stand cadburys.

You need to set up a double bling test. Get someone else to put pairs into envelopes, put a code on them and hand them to DH. He has to wear a blindfold after noting the code. He then administers each pair to you and notes the results.

Time consuming but report back on your findings.

MrsTerryPratchett · 12/03/2023 20:05

Blind not bling.

Cock.

BevMarsh · 12/03/2023 20:05

I prefer the brown.
They taste different somehow.
All the other colours taste the same tho.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 12/03/2023 20:05

I think the yellow taste different.

Kangarude · 12/03/2023 20:05

I think the brown ones taste different. I don't like them as much

bigbadbarry · 12/03/2023 20:06

The brown ones taste different (not as nice) but the other ones all taste the same

bumgripes · 12/03/2023 20:06

Yellow taste different (better). All others the same.

Shunkleisshiny · 12/03/2023 20:08

I am eating some now with a cup of tea, never thought the different colours tasted different.
Love the smell of them though.

R0ckets · 12/03/2023 20:11

No.

Although I've no idea why I say that with such confidence given I eat them by the handful so wouldn't actually know what they tasted like individually....

808Kate1 · 12/03/2023 20:12

The brown one has a slightly chemically taste. Still eat it though!

Tessisme · 12/03/2023 20:15

If you're talking about the Cadbury's mini eggs, then yes they all taste the same - bloody awful. M&S speckled eggs are much nicer and roughly the same price. Oh - and they all taste the same too😅

justmyluck1234 · 12/03/2023 20:19

Nope all taste the same

Pixiedust1234 · 12/03/2023 20:20

The brown tastes more of cocoa powder, the yellow tastes nicer. The other colours taste the same. Always have so its not down to changed ingredients.

tregunamekoidestrecorumsatisdee · 12/03/2023 20:21

All the same

Mumof1andacat · 12/03/2023 20:22

Yellow ones are different

Piffle11 · 12/03/2023 20:23

Yes. The yellow ones definitely taste different, and they are the best. I always leave them til last Smile

Sounds a bit 9 1/2 weeks that does 🤣

MurderSheSpoke · 12/03/2023 20:26

Yellow taste and smell nicer than the other flavours.

MrsTerryPratchett · 12/03/2023 20:31

But scientific like.

JustJamie5 · 12/03/2023 20:34

All the same

BUT!

Many years ago I did a psychology degree and I eagerly volunteered to take part in a particular experiment. The experiment was testing how seeing food impacts on what we taste. I was asked to eat different chocolate - white, milk and dark. Initially I ate the chocolate and was allowed to look at it. I then did a survey about my experience. Then I had a drink, sat around for a bit, and got asked to do the same thing only this time I was blindfolded. I could not tell the difference between milk and white, they tasted the same. The dark tasted different but not as different as it did when I could see it……. I was amazed at just how influential looking at it was! There was also a jelly experimentation, they changed the colour of some jelly so that it didn’t match the flavour - strawberry was lime green etc. again ‘pink strawberry’ tasted strawberry, green tasted more like a odd lime/strawberry. It was fascinated and yummy to be a participant!…. I imagine something similar happens with mini eggs and smarties!

and now…. I want some mini eggs.

EwwSprouts · 12/03/2023 20:35

The orange ones are the best hence the packets of only ornage ones, same as smarties.

QueenOfWeeds · 12/03/2023 20:46

Yes, Cadbury’s.

Interesting - I also think the yellow are superior, but the others all taste the same. DH can’t tell the difference.

A blind taste test may be the way forwards!
