Post by DaveW »

As predicted, not long after the American firm Kraft bought the iconic British chocolate firm Cadbury's they are despoiling the traditional world renowned milk chocolate Cream Egg! :lol:

And I'm assured that they always were available in boxes of 6, now it's boxes of 5!

And as the walls come down and as I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade recalling all of the times
I have died and will die.
It's all right.

And why do I suspect that the price will not reduce to reflect the obviously lower quality?

To be honest i only eat the creme and toss the chocolate away, or give it to someone else,lol ..call it a waste but I'm not really a chocolate person, but still kinda sucks they had to ruin something that was fine the way it was...

Smells like cheap chocolate, melts a little fast for my liking i don't like it to melt in my hand..
Bite without the creme almost a kinda a little tasteless to me and what taste their is isn't very appealing, i truthfully find tootsie rolls chocolaty-er then this chocolate being used...very yucky. But the good part is that they actually filed the egg completely to the top with the creme yoke which i noticed in the past few years they been kinda cheating us with barley a spoon full. But this one's creme to the brim
So i give it a 1 for chocolates taste a 10 for creme filing and taste.
1 being the worst and 10 the best
