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. Hmm I'm told it, but I don't believe it. AIBU?

Short of neat saccharin, there's not a lot that comes close in the sweet-stakes. I thought, as we got older, we were meant to enjoy more challenging flavours like scotch whisky, blue cheese, red wines and fiery curries!! Dark chocolate is for grown-ups, surely....?

they used to be lovely. but since cadburys was brought by kraft they have altered the recipe and also use a new oil rendering them disgusting. il never buy cadburys again after the taste shift. american choc is urgh

Nasty Things

RockinSockBunnies · 08/02/2011 16:20

YABU.

The best way to eat them is straight from the fridge, when the chocolate is cold and reassuringly hard. Brings out the flavour.

Washed down with a diet coke they're heaven!

motheroftwoboys · 08/02/2011 16:59

Love them but they aren't they MUCH smaller than they used to be?Grin

Utterly revolting. Wouldn't eat them if I was starving.

flumpmouse · 08/02/2011 17:12

Yum! I say but I do miss them.
Had one as soon as they appeared in Jan this year but I was horrified to discover it made my teeth hurt so much I cant have another.
I think that might be my age, my gums are receeding.
Is it true the recipe has changed? When approx do you think that happened?
I gave up Diet Pepsi when they changed that 3 years ago.

Bunbaker · 08/02/2011 17:24

You are totally not BU. Creme eggs are utterly sickly and revolting. They are a crime against chocolate.

YAB V V V U.
They are god's gift to the chocolate world Grin

JoyceBarnaby · 08/02/2011 17:45

Oh God - have Kraft really changed the recipe for creme eggs?!

I haven't had one yet, this year. Normal Cadbury's chocolate is the same, right?!

Hershey's is the food of the devil. It is NOT chocolate.

OliveonThePaulMcKennaBus · 08/02/2011 17:47

YANBU - they are the worst confectionary ever (followed by Hershey's)

Psammead · 08/02/2011 17:53

Not sure. Please send me a few dozen so I can test.

friedbananas · 08/02/2011 17:57

YANBU. I've never liked the stuff in the creme egg.

StayingDavidTennantsGirl · 08/02/2011 20:56

Well - thanks to you lot, I bought a creme egg when I went shopping this afternoon, and I am now going to get it out of the fridge and eat it in front of the tv.

This year, as ever, I am hoping that it will be sweet and delicious and am therefore bound to be disappointed.

BendyBob · 08/02/2011 21:01

Yanbu. They feel like a mouthful of wet concrete. I get a gag reflex thinking about them.

But then I also hate Jaffa cakes and everyone likes them too (horrid, bitter and can't make up their minds if they're a soggy biscuit or a stale dry cake)

QuestionNumber · 08/02/2011 21:01

YABU and you're all egg snobs :o

Who wants confectionery that's only slightly sweet/gooey/chocolatey?

MoldyWarp · 08/02/2011 21:21

'you're hurting me' nice!!
