It seems like the cost in changing over factory machinery would negate the savings of using less ingredient. Materials are always an astonishingly low percentage of cost or price.

BTW, looking at a wrapper right now:

Net weight: 1.2 ounces (34 grams)
Contains sugar. Also contains corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup subsequent on list. Also contains cocoa butter, but cocoa powder is not listed, they are two different things, both from cocoa bean.
Made in Canada for Hershey Co. Hershey, Pennsylvania.

I am digusted that Cadbury’s have closed their factory in Bristol with loss of 250 jobs and moved all production over to Poland.

This is bang out of order. I for one will not be purching any of Cadbur’s products again. I strongly advise other people to do the same. Until they guarintee no more jobs losses in the UK

Ever since Hershies aggressively took over Cadbury’s and sacked all the loyal british staff I’ve been trying to work out what this will mean for me. I think it’d disgraceful how they have acted and sets a precident for bad ethics from large companies.

I think I need to start pissing off all the shareholders and remind them of the misery they’ve caused real people.

And don’t even get me started on the size of good being shrunk without telling us! That’s daylight robbery!

OK so I’m gonna have to boycot Cadbury’s now

The ingredients used in Cadbury product vary from country to country. e.g. the chocolate in the UK is made with vegetable oil which is banned in some countries.

I don’t know about about the filling, but it’s worth remembering that the Creme Egg is made under license by Hershey in the US. If you may be allergic to an ingredient, you should probably approach them directly and ask.

What kind of a land do we live in? One where people want to pay the lowest price possible. For every one person like you who would pay extra for real sugar, there are a hundred more who want to pay the absolute least amount possible. That’s why TVs no longer come with any kind of installation or accessories and why they don’t last very long.

Has Cadbury always used corn syrup in their eggs? I recently bought some thinking they’d be the same as last year’s with no corn syrup, but after eating one I got a headache all day, which is an indication that there is corn syrup in there because I’m ALLERGIC! I’m appalled.. What kind of a land do we live in where we use cheaply modified foods that cause cancer and heart disease?? Not to mention diabetes and all of our fat victims out there (not only the humans but the cows, too. Yes, we’re being pumped with the same crap).. If Cadbury wants to make something delicious they’d stop using that corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup and make a REAL candy, with REAL sugar!

m atcheson, sorry to be so sarcastic, but instead of concluding with “…perhaps they shrunk in other parts of the world, but at least in Northern Ireland, they appeared to have remained the same.” You just said “sorry” as though you had debunked everything. Otherwise, I found your story of a 33 year old egg quite intriguing as that’s the kind of horror I would expect to find in parents’ house! I’d love to know more about the condition of the egg as I am only 1 year younger than it!

What sarcasm Simone, maybe in America or other countries they did shrink, but not in the NOI is all I am saying,
sheesh jeez and anything else you may care to proffer
Excuse me, I have other cases to crack – enjoy your smaller creme eggs this year
