Cadbury Creme Egg debacle set to derail Easter

[CoverMeCagney]

Oh my word - no Crunchies?! What will you eat on Fridays?

(Hoping you had the same advertising slogan as us, "Thank Crunchie it's Friday", or this will not make any sense!)

Though an anglophile to the nth degree, I'm not much of a chocoholic (gin? yes) so my principal reaction to all this is one of bemused detachment, a quality which reflects, I think, my British ancestry.

 

[CoverMeCagney]

And I'd say I have more of a bemused attachment!

I might have to have another one, for research purposes, obviously...

Breaking News the Cadbury flakes are on the shelves here now with new improved recipe. That's it I'm a Nestle man now.

And I'd say I have more of a bemused attachment!

-- attachment, detachment; of such wordplay were world wars won (and two). Heroism is a matter of language, pass the CurlyWurlies (please).

Oh no! I really dislike American style chocolate, I was having Aussie cadbrys sent to me when I lived over there- oh well makes lent easier to stick to!

Looks amazing. Someone save me a slice!

Just seen this on BBC website

Does Cadbury chocolate taste different in different countries?

I polished off a Dairy Milk easter egg tonight (yeah I know it's early, but was only £1.50!) and can confirm it was egg-cellent.

It doesn't really affect me much, since I can't stand raisins. But if there is one thing worse than a raisin, it's a sultana! :yuck:

Ahh, Quality Street. Not quite as good as Cadbury's Roses which has also shrunk significantly over the last few years. Still, at £4 a tub....

I suspect I'm a communist or Martian as I don't absolutely love chocolate or barbecue.
