So this year they won't come in a pack of 6 but instead 5! Wtf! And they say this is due to consumer demand...

Ahh that reminds me of the milk tray ad - and all because the lady loved Milk Tray...

Eww. They taste like shit. Why would you even spend your money on something you can create in the toilet for free?

I emailed them yesterday just to add my tiny voice to the rebellion.

I asked them to re launch the product as "famous, classic and original" recipe".

They can have my great idea and advertising tag line for free as well!

Quite sad really. I always buy a lot of these and this year I simply will not.

They'll only act if sales are affected. I bet at the moment sales are as good as ever as people want to try one and see what the fuss is about. If sales suffer then they might relaunch it. I won't be buying one anymore, or any other Cadbury product.

I was in Morrisons yesterday and pretty much every Cadburys product was on some kind of offer, mostly half price trying to shift the stuff so here's hoping sales are going down.
Mini Eggs are vile now! I wasn't even bothered when my husband ate them all. We had a tub roses at Xmas, they all tasted of coffee - binned!

They have messed with it and wrecked it.

I get sad about it as my dgrandad was involved in the original process and invented the means by which the filling was put in the eggs. He worked for cadbury for 50 years as did other family members. Cadbury was a big family to me growing up and the buggers at kraft ruined it.

I don't think Mondelez (crap name BTW) will lose much by these changes, as they ought.
The thing about the Cadbury brand is that it is sold everywhere, in every corner shop, cafe, newsagent etc. It's an impulse buy that is always available when someone needs a sugar hit or their child cries for a sweet.
If you want something better your have to go out of your way to find it.

So by all means protest about the loss of real Cadburys, but Mondocrap won't be bothered.
