And then they went and made them into individually wrapped ones in a whole huge bag.

Aaaargh.

That bag isn't really all that big. I can finish one in a day!

History

Cadbury Creme Egg was introduced by Cadbury brothers in the early 1920's and was first available in 1923, but the Creme Egg as we know it today was not made until 1971.

There have been several major Cadbury Creme Egg campaigns.
"Shopkeeper" campaign of the 70's in which a boy asks for 6000 Cadbury Creme Eggs.
"Irresistibly" campaign showing characters prepared to do something unusual for a Cadbury Creme Egg.
1985: The "How Do You Eat Yours?" campaign begins.
1990-1993: The first TV Advertising campaign to feature the "How Do You Eat Yours?" theme. This was achieved through the zodiac signs.
1994-1996: Spitting Image characters continued "How Do You Eat Yours?"
1997-1999: George Dawes from Reeves & Mortimer Shooting Stars.
2000-2003: The "Pointing Finger" campaign.
2005: 'The Eggmeister Returns' campaign

Did you know?

If you laid all the eggs made on the Creme Egg plant end to end, they would stretch all the way from the Bournville factory in Birmingham UK to Sydney in Australia - that's 12,000 miles.

The Cadbury Creme Egg plant at Bournville can produce more than 1.5 million eggs per day. It is the best selling confectionery item between January 1st and Easter; over 200 million are sold annually, 3 for every person in the UK.

Check out my tag from the tag fairy

We have those eggs all year round. I only have the odd carmel filled one as they are really sickly.

But as for other chocolate well like the tag says

An hour! Boy you do have self control!!

Those tiny bags are always calling my name.

gshanny said: My sister called me to let me the "Devil's Candy" was on the shelves.
This is the name she and other co-workers gave the bags of mini eggs.
I am fighting temptation, but it is a hard one.

The Reese's eggs are still my downfall. WHY do those things taste so much better than the regular Reese's pbutter cups?

And then they went and made them into individually wrapped ones in a whole huge bag.

Aaaargh.

Agreed. I take the Cadbury too. In fact, I'll take them all.

Yep that's why I am such a pooh sized person.

Actually I don't eat candy a lot and if I do eat that much in a short time it is usually PMS and I probably won't eat any for days, even weeks after. Tonight I went to Target and got 5 bags (they had almond joy on clearance ). Most of that is for work, I keep a candy jar in my office for everyone. It is a rare occasion that I eat anything out of it.

I bet you have lots of visitors at your desk. I had to empathize with this thread and dig into a bag of Reeses bits. Drat it all. Now I'm going to have to try and make it to the gym.

I LOVE the CADBURY mini eggs. Unfortunately they´re hard to find in Iceland (although I did find one store yesterday that sells them). Oh, well, I guess I don´t really need more than one store

I love Cadbury chocolate but can't stand the creme inside, so I open the egg and dig the creme out with a spoon and throw it away.

 

[Minniespal]

I love the Mini Creme Eggs and the Mini Eggs

 

[smilie]

Where? I love Dove chocolate, I love truffles - they make Dove Truffle Eggs?
Do they come in a bag or a box??

I found them in Walmart. They're in a box of 3 and they are wrapped in purple foil. VERY GOOD!! I hide them from Dh.

I am begging all of you to purchase every Cadbury Mini Egg that you come across. And please spread the word to all of your friends.

That way, there won't be any for me to buy
