to think that Creme Eggs are Bloody Horrible...

[Chil1234]

I'm told that the teeth-dissolving blob of luridly coloured, icing-like goo, wrapped in something that might once have been chocolate is a triumph of confectionery. I'm told it, but I don't believe it. AIBU?

How many calories in one?

171 isn't it?

YANBU. They're fecking awful.

I remember years ago having toffee and mallow eggs (same sort of size as a cream egg) and they were bloody delicious. Can't seem to find them anymore though.

Rindecella - hmmm yes - did they split into halves?

I love the things

yes!

The closest I have found in the last few years is the toffee & mallow whips in M&S (as in walnut whips). Not quite the same though.

Galaxy used to do lovely truffle eggs (a bit like the Galaxy truffle in Celebrations), I don't know why they stopped doing them.

YADNBU. Too sickly.

YANBU they are truly revolting.

The chocolate is bad enough-but the cack that´s inside!

YANBU they are vile, oversweetened, yellow & white goo. I do like the caramel ones though.

YABU I love them.

DH and I were given a box of 48 one Easter - they lasted 5 days!

They are much too small though, I'd love a giant one.

They are too sickly-sweet for me, and the chocolate is sickly too.

Every time I eat one, I remember why I don't like them - but it doesn't stop me buying more the next time. I'm already wondering if I can make it to easter without buying one and cursing myself for it.

I could spend the money on chocolate that I enjoy - but I know I won't.

It's a sickness, I tell you.

They are the work of the devil........

They are the work of the devil, but one of the more irresistible ones.

I can eat a box of 6 without pausing for breath. 8 is even better. God, that's my whole day's calories, gone in half an hour or less!

they are so gross they make my cheeks crawl

YABU They are most delicious when stuffed into the mouth whole.

A mate of mine once ate 18 in one afternoon, one after the other They were her kids easter eggs, and she did a compulsive eating type thing and wolfed the lot.

YABU; I love them. But as I'm trying to lose weight I am denying them to myself.

YANBU
they are pretty gruesome

They are disgusting. Even my kids hate them. DD tried one, gagged violently and said the inside is like a gloopy banana anti-biotic she once had. No fans in this house.

I worked for Cadbury's (briefly) in 2000, and I remember them telling us during Induction that the Creme Egg as a product on it's own was worth more than Manchester United FC. Could have been codswallop, but it's always stuck with me.

its not it's

YABU

you clearly don't appreciate the teeth-aching sweetness as you should!

Haven't read the whole thread so you could all be talking about global warming now but,

OP YANBU Creme Eggs are disgusting, over sugary vile looking shite.
