Save our national treasure

 

What a farce !!

A sneaky change to the recipe of the chocolate and the removal of the 6th egg from the box is enough to cause outrage of a national proportion. Its not just me I saw a half a dozen newspapers talking about this today including the "Broadsheets". Seem this has rattles a few egg lovers. Personally I haven't tried this "new and improved" egg because I cant confirm its gluten free - despite hours of checking and searching the web and it having no specific gluten ingredients.

Cadbury's can't even confirm - FARCE !! The Creme Egg Twist they actually advertise as gluten free but not the egg - it might be a victim of cross contamination. Oh wait a minute - yeah its going to dance down a production line and tango with a bar of Cadburys Dairy Milk that's got Crunchie bits in it - Ha no it wont because its no longer a dairy milk shell !!!

Even more of a FARCE

So there appear to be an american version, which is a smaller egg at 34g and does not have a Dairy Milk shell, an Australian version that also doesn't have a dairy milk shell and the good old daddy from which they all sprung - the real one a whopping 40g of fondant filled gooey goodness. Can you tell I used to adore them LOL

Now they - Cadburys - well their big bad bosses Kraft foods have tampered with the recipe (no doubt to save money) and made a cheaper version. Their actual excuse - Well we don't advertise that its a dairy milk shell". what kind of excuse is that!

People who can eat them are saying they aren't as good and after what we've been used to for long and weary how could it. Even though the company ran taste tests and consumer tests. Anyone that loves them will spot the difference - pah

But to remove one from the box and sell them in fives - Hod the bus with that !! messing with the recipes one thing but the quantity well that's too much - don't sell them in odd numbers especially selling them for the same price as a six pack last year. That's daylight robbery and I hope people don't fall for this

Yes all companies are tightening belts, cutting corners but there are cost saving measures and damn right cheapness.

I can only hope egg loving Brits show Kraft exactly what we think and stop eating them in such large numbers - maybe then we can force them to at least change the recipe back !
