That’s it its official nothing is sacred anymore! The Cadbury Creme Egg the whole of the UK has loved and nibbled on in many different ways is no longer made from Dairy Milk! The American owners Kraft thought it would be a great money saving coup to switch the outer chocolate shell from the much loved Dairy Milkchocolate base to a cheaper, crappy tasting one, without mentioning it but the SUn newspaper rumble dthem oafter thousands of complaints.
The Cadbury Creme Egg violation has sparked national outrage and a Twitter hashtag “#CremeEggGate” was spawned so people could express their outrage and the Mainstream Media declared war, The Telegraph called it “Outrage”and the Independant described the UK as a ‘a nation in shock’ and declared the move as “a bilateral attack on the glory of Easter.”.
When confronted with the news a Kraft Spokesperson had this this nonsense to say:
“It’s no longer Dairy Milk. It’s similar, but not exactly Dairy Milk. We tested the new one with consumers. It was found to be the best one for the Creme Egg, which is why we’ve used it this year. The Creme Egg has never been called the Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Creme Egg. We have never played on the fact that Dairy Milk chocolate was used.”
But that wasn’t cutting it with anyone least of all the Independant who shot back:
“Tell that to the Dickensian little boy holding one of the new Creme Eggs in his cupped hands and weeping, Kraft.”
Finally the Mainstream Media decide to defend something and when they beef someone they BEEF so we would not be surprised if Kraft do a U-Turn on this dumb decision, we think this move definitely deserves the Charlamagne ‘Donkey of the Day” award.
