Creme Eggs all year around

Why not Cadburys? I’m sure you’d sell more eggs 12 months a year rather than 3 or 4. Everyone loves them and do be devo when they disappear

Scarcity I think. As in, if they were available all year round the shine might go off them?

The Creme Hens’ breeding season is December to March.

At 200+ calories an egg, I don't know if that's a good idea. :pac:

Just the way it is

If they were the old style Creme Egg I'd agree, but the fake chocolate and overly sweet fondant in the abominations you get now are a poor imitation.

Kraft have destroyed the last bit of taste in Cadburys chocolate.

Sickly sweet sh1t filling. Gah.

I used to love taking the foil off a cream egg and flatting it out eliminating as many creases as possible without tearing it.

because type-2 diabetes cases would go through the roof.

You can get them at Christmas in those 'Heroes' 'tins'. They're called 'Creme Egg Twisters'. They're also $hite.

I buy one creme egg a year. One. Just on the off chance they've switched back to making them delicious like they were years ago.

They currently taste like ovoids of feces, liberally stuffed with the pus infected smegma of lucifer himself.

They're far too sweet no thanks

If they weren't scarce, we have tons left uneaten and then they'd start to hatch... and eat us.

“’How do you eat yours?’ they say to each other, and laugh. ‘How do you eat yours?’”

I must have eaten 50201600 Creme Eggs already this year. All year round? No thank you, I'm sweet borderline diabetic enough.

They’re out at Halloween too.

They probably knew the periodic sales outweigh the continuous availability.


Mini Eggs are the real stars.

They stop selling them to save me from myself.

Egg shaped cavities, horrendously sweet. You wouldn't have teeth left in your head. I personally hate them.

Aha, I see you've also tried to scan a creme egg at one point in your life. It's burned into the back of my mind from years ago.

I have never been able to fathom why anyone would want to put that disgusting white and yellow sugary goo into their mouth. Puke!

Glad someone got the reference.

I love putting that delicious white and yellow sugary goo into my mouth. More accurately, I like to bite the top off it and lick it out until the chocolate starts to melt and give way. At this point, I shove the whole thing into my mouth.

They are awkward yokes. But tasty, should put the flavored gooo in a bar, less of a messy, pain in the cerebellum to eat... just a Cadbury’s creme bar.

They've released that as a special edition before.

Rubberchikken

Oh no i.hate them. They kill my teeth and.theyre yuck anyway:)

fatknacker

They’re pure muck, I can’t imagine why anyone would enjoy them now

I remember back in the day tongue fking the gooey bit out of the choco shell but now it’s just sandpapery sugar with gross sugary chocolate around it

wingnut

Have to feel sorry for going people today who never experienced old Cadburys when they were focused on quality over quantity.

Strumms

Yeah, liked them when they were creamy instead of gritty.

Never saw those creme egg bars though fukkk, might need to try.

This hasn't received enough praise.
POTY territory right here.

Anyone that works/worked in retail knows the pain!

Earthhorse

I really like the Mini Eggs personally.

I loved them when I was younger, but either me or the eggs changed. Tried one a few years back and was super disappointed. Now they are too sweet, I could feel the crunch of the sugar crystals as I ate it.

I don't think they ever made it to Ireland ?

They do it cos its profitable.

With what they do now, they have a captive market. They sell Creme Eggs at Creme Egg time and they don't have to compete with the other stuff on the market.

Creme Eggs are priced about 50% more expensive than the other stuff on the market, so even if they only sell 75% of the creme eggs they would otherwise sell year-round, they're making a bigger profit than making them always available at a cheaper price.

Creme eggs are disgusting, even before Kraft got a hold of Cadburys, they were rank.

I used to hang around with a fella who had 3 sisters. He'd always get a creme egg when we were watching a film in his gaff or whatever. One day, it was just me and him and we rented Last Action Hero (no idea how I remembered that, I think its because we had to pick something 'girly' for the sisters). We went around to the shops to get some munch and he got a lion bar or something. I asked if he was not into the eggs any more and he told me that he was never mad into them in the first place.

"Why d'ya get them all the time then?"
"It's the only chocolate you can get that nobody ever asks you for a bite. When you get one then you have it to yourself, and don't have to share it with anyone"

Yeah, instead of creamy they are super gritty, gluey and meh.

The old adage... if it’s not broken, don’t try to fix it.

Those were the business, at one time, not sure if it was before or after the moro version they were called Boost.

Fair logic. I assume he is the CEO of a Fortune 500 company these days?
