creme eggs

[devonshiredumpling]

is it me or have creme eggs shrunk in size also how do you eat yours the filthier/sillier the better

I'll just leave it here but don't click it, you really don't want to.

I could eat creme eggs until I'm sick and then I'd just start again.

oh fuck

creme eggs just like many other choc bars have shrunk. They believe we would rather have smaller bars/eggs than pay more (even tho they keep putting the price up anyway)
They denied the shrinkage for a long time (just like I do when I ruin someones favourite jumper) but then when proof came out they admitted their resons for it.

I suppose the ants just make it that bit crunchier and tastier.

Isn't red food colouring made from squashed bugs anyway!

Nothing wrong with a bit of protein!

They're full of pva glue.

The ants really do not put me off. At all.

Nothing could put me off a creme egg.

I bite the top off and scoop the insides out with my finger before eating the egg. I have not been able to bite the top off since I got my braces. Not resorted to the depths of my mum's workmate. She has dentures and gets her dog to bite the top off. Boak!
Ants do not put me off at all.
I remember when I was a girl the creme egg easter eggs coming out for the first time. I was so excited I could'nt decide whether to use a spoon on my giant creme egg or just stick my head in and sook like crazy. So gutted to find out it was just hollow. This year DD got one and confessed she was worried it would make her sick. She thought it was a giant creme egg too. I had a 'thats my girl' moment.

Whatever happened to border eggs? They were filled with gooey chocolate, much less tooth-rottingly sweet than the fondant.

I LOVE EM!!! THAT'S WHAT I DO WITH THEM (NOT IN A PERVY WAY!!) HOME BARGAINS ARE SELLING THEM BOXES OF 6 FOR 99P!! I GOT VERY EXCITED

I read somewhere that when they were filming Ashes to Ashes for BBC 1 they had to order some Curly Wurly wrappers (authentic ones from the early "80s) and when they turned up they saw that Curly Wurlys have shrunk a LOT.

A lot of chocolate bars shrink periodically. I know this because the calorie count suddenly goes down.

Does anyone remember Terrys Nutcracker. They were like a chocolate thing shaped like a hazlenut with a nut and caramel inside and covered in chocolate natch. I used to eat them on the way to school and in school.

And Cadburys Puds from the early to mid "90s. Only available in the run up to Chrimbo they were about the same size as a creme egg but shaped like a mini christmas pud and was split into 2 halves like the Terrys Nutcracker was.the Puds were choccy truffley type thing with v.small diced like bits of nut inside.
(i havent had any choc since valentines as im on a diet so im a little bit obsessed)

I used to love them but this year I gave up choc for Lent and I can't bring myself to touch one now. I have actually lost my taste for chocolate [boohoo]. No good deed goes unpunished I suppose.

Waitrose flogging them off too - box of 12 fo £3. And don't get me started on the Hotel Chocolat sale...

Mmmmm creme eggs mmmmm. I'm abroad and very jealous of all your creme egg eating

I too wondered if they had shrunk or is it just because I've got bigger...?

What happened to the Orange Creme eggs? They were out last year with the other varieties and now are gone!

carernotasaintI remember Nutcrackers! I don't like claggy creme eggs they taste like a mouthful of glue. But I did like Nutcrackers. I love chocolate and nuts and always have the purple ones in Roses or Quality Street if I get the chance

Years ago you could get marshmallow and caramel eggs. They were very nice too

Thank you Juney for saving me a lot of calories! I really appreciate it this isn't sarcastic - I don't know how to make it sound not so in this post at the moment...

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

notweknow I remember the caramel & marshmallow ones they were gorgeous! Can't remember the name though.

Did anyone else like Terry's Pyramints? I thought they were lush too - dark chic pyramid filled with mint fondant yummy!
