Fucking hate em.

I can lick all the chocolate from a bounty bar without eating a shred of coconut goo......

Hoebag · 11/04/2012 22:05

Oh I have a wierd thing where I have to smell the chocolate before biting.

Kladdkaka · 11/04/2012 22:05

There's only one way to eat a creme egg. Bite of the top, lick out the insides, the rest goes in in one go. Everyone knows that. :O

iklboo · 11/04/2012 22:06

Not me, but my old boss used to scoop out the insides of creme eggs with cheese & onion crisps.

I nibble all the chocolate off a Bounty before I touch the coconut bit. I try to bite off all the chocolate/caramel bit from around the biscuit part on Munchies too.

I bin the blighters... euuuugh!

BareBums · 11/04/2012 22:06

I thought the eggs had shrunk too!! But I don't eat them, DD and DH do, they love 'em. I think DH scoffs them and DD nibbles the top and sucks the Creme out then eats the chocolate. Grin

FeakAndWeeble · 11/04/2012 22:07

Hoebag I'm the same. I've got DH doing it now too Smile

hermionestranger · 11/04/2012 22:07

They have shrunk and do you want to know how I know that?

Well it's simple.

The knitted chick thingys that go on them that you can always buy at wi fairs and equally glamorous sales. They are still knotted to ancient old patterns, that have not changed in decades, but now they are always too big for the egg! See. Shrinkage.

therumoursaretrue · 11/04/2012 22:07

I use a spoon!
Bite off the top and munch it, eat the middle with a spoon and then have the chocolate Grin

If no spoon is available I eat it in the same order but just lick all the fondant out instead.

startail · 11/04/2012 22:08

They obviously have new hens laying them, they're tiny.

Bambino81 · 11/04/2012 22:08

If my bf is watching me (which pisses me off the dirty bugger) I'll elegantly nibble the top and lick the insides out slowly then look at him, shove the rest of it in my gob and bite down then smile at him with chocolately teeth... serves him right :D

Although it normally backfires when we both get the giggles and I have to try not to dribble chocolate :/

Cremeeggsandkitkatsoldiers · 11/04/2012 22:08

well.... Grin

JennyPiccolo · 11/04/2012 22:08

I just had a caramel egg. In the bath. Smile

frazzlerock · 11/04/2012 22:09

Ooh caramel egg in the bath. Yes! I shall do that now! (should this be in he other thread?)

Cremeeggsandkitkatsoldiers · 11/04/2012 22:18

Grin

I bite the top off, scoop out the insides (preferably with the end of a spoon, though a clean finger will do!), eat the chocolate shell and then eat the creme... hmm...

Buggered that up!

juneybean · 11/04/2012 22:34

I used to love them but I read an AWFUL story in the paper and now I daren't...

HavePatience · 11/04/2012 22:37

Oh no, juney - what was the story??
I bite the bottom off then lick the insides, then nibble the rest of the choc. Once at the top dense choc bit, I eat that in one go :)

YonWhaleFish · 11/04/2012 22:38

I finger the creme out then suck the shell

tethersend · 11/04/2012 22:39

I had a friend at school who would scoop out the filling and hold it on her finger until she'd eaten all the chocolate, then eat it last.
