to think people are over reacting to Cadbury creme eggs?

[NattyNatural]

I have heard so many people saying they have changed and horrible now. I just had one, tastes the same.

What's the big deal? I don't get it?

They have always been far too sickly.

YABU they taste like shit.
I used to eat way too many of them interspersed with caramel eggs for variety. I don't touch either any more.
They are waxy, not at all creamy any more I hate them now!

I've gone from chocoholic to I'd rather have nothing than Cadburys. They've absolutely ruined it! It's very disappointing...

They probably taste revolting, I'm not going to try one. I had one years ago and that was sickly and horrible enough.

All the palm oil they're using is an environmental disaster. For that reason alone I don't eat anything Cadburys. There's lots of lovely chocolate out there - please buy that instead.

And only 5 in a pack. The whole point was to have half a dozen in a pack like real eggs.

DH was heartbroken. He hasn't got over it yet.

YABU.

Yabu, have a non cadburys chocolate bar on me

I'm being teased by a couple of packs of Aldi's Moser Roth chocolate on the sideboard.
One is the Peruvian single origin 62% cocoa, (that's three times as much as in ex-Cadbury's 'dairy milk'). The other is their lovely mint chocolate - natural essence, not artificial flavour.
I just can't decide which to attack tonight.

And both these are cheaper than ex-Cadbury's. What's not to like?

Im really surprised you can't taste the difference tbh OP. I will never buy a Creme Egg again

"All the palm oil they're using is an environmental disaster.*

No palm oil at all in Moser Roth.

I couldn't really taste much of a difference tbh.

They were always disgusting anyway, shudder
Chocolate has to be Swiss or maybe Belgian!

Out of curiosity, (I'm American), what is the difference between American and English chocolate? Are the ingredients different? I don't think I've ever tasted British chocolate. I love chocolate though, it is one of my daily must haves. I agree, some chocolate is awful tasting.

Sally I had those from aldi last year. They were sold out constantly

Sorry Natty, that was probably my fault :)

Littlebeautybelle- I eat chocolate both sides of the pond and UK choccie is one million per cent nicer, wish I could send you some

I have family in West Virginia and they are obsessed with our chocolate. I have to send it to them all the time

LittleBeauty, much US chocolate is made using milk that has undergone lipolysis - a process which breaks down the fatty acid chains in milk. They do this to increase the shelf-life of the chocolate. Unfortunately one of the products of this process is butyric acid, which gives US chocolate its characteristic vomit-like taste.

I lived in the US for years.
It was a fantastic say when our Walmart started stocking lindor.
American chocolate has a hint of regurgitated cheesey vomit.

Might just me me though...
Lots of my American relatives have no problem woolfing down those rancid kisses!

My DD received a box of FIVE wtf is that about and I tried one to see if what everyone was saying was true. It is, I won't be bothering again.

Australian chocolate is horrible too. It has something added to stop it melting in the high temperatures of Australian shops 50 years ago. Very disappointing.

But I consider myself fussy about chocolate and I think Cadbury's tastes the same.

(As an aside: I was once told that M&Ms contain a substance derived from human breast milk to make them addictive.)

X posted.
I see it is an issue

TABVU

they are horrid.

Absolutely vile!!!!! I'd prefer an oatcake and peanut butter!!!!

It tastes the same to me - Cadbury's, that is. I haven't had a cream egg for donkeys' years. I especially like Dairy Milk with Daim...
