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

Geez, m atcheson, you don’t suppose they never increased in size in all that time either, do you?

This world is filled with people making and breaking cases based solely on their own experiences. Apparently your 33 year old egg trumps, the photo in this post, scores of people noticing it and Cadbury admitting it themselves. Thanks for cracking the case! Sheesh.

Just reading about the creme egg shrinkage – well, we have one unopened from 1977 (it was for our grandmother, and we put it in a small decorative egg shaped tin for her easter gift – sadly she died before we could give it). So that is 33 years old! We compared it to the 2009 model and guess what – em , it was the same size – sorry!

I actually don’t mind the smaller sized egg. My only complaint with them before was that they were TOO big. But I don’t like the mini eggs because I get carried away and eat too many. So this is perfect for me.

Yay Easter!
