AIBU to wonder what the actual fuck they have done to creme eggs?

[M0reGinPlease]

I mean, first world problems and all that, but why have they ruined creme eggs? Just had one and the chocolate was rank (DH said this was a big thing a few years ago that Cadbury changed the chocolate to make it cheaper and it doesn't taste like dairy milk any more but this clearly passed me by) and the filling was... kinda chewy. I mean, is nothing sacred? Fucking Brexit fucking up our creme eggs.

Shall I edit my title to say 'includes a wholly sarcastic and inaccurate reference to Brexit'?

Aldi version is much nicer

Cadburys chocolate is just vile.

If you know it's not a Brexit problem why did you put it in your OP?

I agree about Lidl chocolate. Much nicer. You honestly couldn't pay me to eat cadbury's.

Never mind creme eggs, where the hell did galaxy caramel eggs go!!!! None last year and the same this year!!! Absolutely shocking

I love them, still.

Agree about Aldi. Also Green and Blacks all the way.

I haven't had a creme egg for years, didn't realize they have changed, but dairy milk still tastes the same to me

Creme Eggs ruined, Galaxy Truffle Egg long gone.

The things I'd do for a Galaxy Truffle Egg, not even the mini ones have been in the Celebrations for years.

Bastards, can't leave bugger all alone.

Even my beloved Weetabix (plain and sometimes banana) have been full of horrible rock hard lumps lately and the golden syrup ones have disappeared completely. They were very far in date.
Is 'stale as fuck" a variety now?
As I say....bastards

I still prefer Cadburys to other brands.

But I didn't know about the palm oil. I feel awful now. FFS.

I still eat them. I have to have one every day when they are in the shops.

Tastes like Hershey's chocolate? No way. Hershey's is truly disgusting.

I have to buy creme eggs as Cadbury's is very close to me so I feel it's my duty to support the local economy.

I actually like them still and think they taste nice.

Some chocolate has gone to shit now. Milk Tray and Dairy Box and even Thorntons... Smarties and Rolos and kitkats don't taste like they used to either. As has been said, it's the use of palm oil. (And this is also the reason it's kinda slimy!)

Cadbury's Dairy Milk is still nice, and twirl, and suchlike.

I still love creme eggs, and can't really tell that Cadbury's chocolate has changed over the years. It's never been my favourite chocolate though. I prefer galaxy or Lindt.
I've had the occasional creme egg where the filling is a bit...I don't know...not exactly chewy but different to normal.
Still disposed of in about two bites

Ohhh yes, galaxy caramel eggs were nice! I didn't realise they'd disappeared.
I used to love M&S mini eggs but I don't know what they've done to them as I don't like them much now.
I do like Cadbury mini eggs more than I used to though. Strange.

Honestly was the chocolate a little cracked? That’s what makes the inside go chewy. If you get a non-cracked one it’s still creamy.

Absolutely right OP they've obviously gone for the cheap ingredients option and it tastes like disgusting American chocolate now.

I only eat Lindt or similar good quality chocolate now.

I tried a coconut Ritter Sport from Spar the other day. It was really good. They sell them in Lidl for 99p.

The fact that they're still making them out of this vile muck despite the huge public outcry shows me that Cadburys don't give a fuck about their customers or their history and heritage. Thats why I refuse to buy from them now.

It's also much much smaller. There's photo evidence all over the place and yet they still lie and deny this.

I didn't know they used palm oil, there's something else to avoid. I'd hoped companieswould start removing it after the publicity of the Iceland ad etc but evidently not...

Wait, Aldi do their own version of Creme Eggs? There is a Goddess! I loved their mini eggs from last year, so I'm hoping they're back again this year.

Sainsbury's are getting better RE palm oil use, this is the first time in years I've been able to buy hot cross buns, as their TTD ones are free of it, last Xmas both Tesco Finest and TTD mince pies were both free of it. M&S caught me out because their hot cross buns do contain it but it's right near the bottom of the ingredients list, so I scanned the list, missed it and bought them. It was such a small amount I don't know why they needed to use it in the first place! (And then I felt guilty because I'd eaten them.) And Tesco Finest hot cross buns still have it in.

@LaurieMarlow, unfortunately Green & Black is now part of Cadbury/Mondelez too.
Lindt lindor balls also contain palm oil
Lidl and Aldi is definitely the best place to go for chocolate now. Still free of palm oil. For the moment anyway :(

Some of the new G&B products are horribly greasy. Yeah, I've mostly stopped bothering with crème eggs. They're not horrible, but underwhelming.

Many companies have already been bought up by others and abandoned our shores while we have STILL been members of the EU. Please remember that, if we ever have a real Brexit, when you blame the fact that the UK has left the EU for some companies going out of business!
